I am PJ Nelson; the owner and operator of Antlers-N-Paws Outfitter. I have been doing business in SW New Mexico for 17 years, 14 years under the name of Bill Nelson Guide Service Inc. The name is the only change in the company.

Guiding to me is the ultimate of all businesses. In my eyes there is no other business that is more fulfilling than getting a client in close to a big game animal whether they are hunting with a gun, bow or camera. Being in the outdoors you will not just experience the beauty and excitement of the hunt, you will also experience the closeness you can feel to our creator! Southwestern style Cougar hunts are a passion but I also excel in hunting and stalking bear, deer (Coues' & Mule deer), Antelope and of course Elk.   I can even take you for a fun trip of calling for the lonesome coyote. If you are looking for a plush lodge hunt then you need to keep looking, but if you want to be comfortable, have warm beds, hot showers, great food and have a great quality hunting experience then you need to call me I hunt areas where you will see trophy quality and If things work out you will be taking the trophy with you.I will be taking pictures of game out there right now that we will be able to hunt this next season, as I get them we will post them, so you will need to bookmark me so you can see what’s new. I have references so you can check out our guiding skills. 2007-2008 hunting season was fantastic, we got 11 bulls out of 16 hunters on the ground scoring from 373 down to 300+.  In fact the whole season was great. Our web page will expand over time and I know we will have a great trophy room, of the hunt-able and the hunted. So let’s go hunting!

You will see trophy quality game in the areas you will be hunting and if things work out you will be taking a trophy home with you.

Southwestern style Cougar hunts are my passion, hunting and stalking bear, deer (Coues' & Mule deer), Antelope and of course ELK, even the lonesome coyote.
I do physically disabled (handicap) hunts and enjoy it when families show up to hunt together. Ladies you are more than welcome to hunt or come as a non-hunter. We make you as comfortable as we can in our hunting camps.
All of my hunts include home cooked meals, hot showers and lodging, plus I get the game out of the woods for you to a meat cutter (if you wish) and cape your game animal.

I will be taking pictures of game out there right now that we will be able to hunt this next season, as I get them I will post them, so you will need to bookmark us so you can see what’s new.
