Just had an antelope hunt with Wildspirit! Everyone in camp was able to harvest goats and good goats too! The guides are very friendly and make you feel very welcomed. Great experience that I would recommend! Saw giant mule deer too!

2022-01-03 I found hunting with Andrew McWilliams to be an excellent experience. He helped me work through the application and licensing process with NM F&G to get the proper license and tag. His accommodations and meals were excellent. He was professional in every way. His dogs were well trained and we had a successful hunt the very first day we were out. He helped me to get my trophy to a local taxidermist to process the trophy. In summary, this was a great experience. I found Andrew to be professional, experienced houndsman and great hunting partner. His knowledge of the local area is unsurpassed. You can depend on him finding you the trophy that you are looking for and getting you into the position to take that trophy. I can not make a higher recommendation for a professional hunter.2022-01-26 I just finished my second hunt with Andrew McWIlliams and Wildspirit Outfitters. This hunt was for an Aoudad Ram. Another successful hunt. I again found Andrew to be surrounded by professional guides, quality meal preparation and comfortable accommodations. The hunt was conducted on public land which is always a challenge because of the hunting pressure. This hunt was well managed and resulted in an excellent trophy. I cannot be happier with my hunt or again the quality of the support from Andrew. I could not make a higher recommendation to anyone who is interested in the service that Andrew offers. You could not go wrong with any hunt that he offers

Had a great time with Wildspirit Outfitters. Super comfortable accommodations in a beautifully peaceful part of the country. Andrew worked hard to get a Merriams gobbler in front of me and I can now check that one off my grand slam list! As others have already mentioned, I was treated like family from start to finish. Looking forward to my next trip with them.

Great experience with a great guide. Not many outfitters advertise as making you feel like family and actually follow through like Andrew. He works just as hard on the first day of the hunt as he does on the last to make something happen. His knowledge of the area is unsurpassed. Meals and lodging were exceptional as well!

I've hunted 2 years now with Andrew and both experiences were great. I was looking for big bulls and the first year Andrew delivered. He understands the hard required to harvest these majestic animals.
BTW....his wife is an amazing cook as well.
Thanks Wild Spirit for a great experience!

What a hunt!! Booked a 7 day elk rifle hunt, on public ground this past October 2020, and after FOUR opportunities earlier in the day we killed a great bull on the 1st evening!
Andrew is a first class hunter and guide. The man knows elk. #GURU He and his son go hard! From the moment we parked the truck that morning until we packed the last bit of meat down the hill the next morning- these guys don't quit!!
I highly recommend Wild Spirit Outfitters!! Book now!

We had an adventure of a life time. Andrew is very passionate and knowledgeable at what he does. Just finished our five day cougar hunt. He and his son worked hard each and every day to make sure we ate well, we hunted good, and that we were comfortable at all times. Andrew’s wife does the cooking and every single meal was fantastic. The living conditions of their new cabin are as good as it gets. It felt as if he wanted my dream of getting a lion to come true just as much as I did. The hunting experience was something that words can not explain. Andrew’s drive and passion reflects directly on his dogs. His hounds do not stop at anything and will do everything possible to get a lion in a tree. This is a hard working outfitter that really emphasizes the importance of the little things. They treat people right and will go the extra mile to assure that your experience is a trip of a life time. Their enthusiasm on the hunts and back at the cabin really create a peaceful atmosphere. There were hard conditions all 5 days with no snow on the ground. We worked hard together during our hunts which made the experience of walking up to a huge Tom mountain lion in a tree that much more satisfying. Thank you Andrew for helping my dad and I create an experience together neither one of us will ever forget. We cannot tell you enough how much we enjoyed the hunting and the conversations back at camp. You will be the only outfitter I call on my next trip to New Mexico.

Went on a unit 48 hunt and am very disappointed. Hunted water within 300 yards of roads 4/5 days then on the last day was dropped off 2 miles away from where I asked to be. As I was walking in a side by side drove by and got to the spot first and shot an elk. Felt like I paid 6k just to be dropped off and not to hunt hard to find elk. Also owner of the outfitter made no attempt to reach out and ask how my experience was.

Worst experience ever! This guy is a scam artist. He’s a (nice guy), but took my friends money. Absolutely horrible. I was along for the hunt. Can’t believe how bad it was. Walked around in the national forest and watched people on bicycles.

I paid $2500 for a cougar hunt with this outfitter and I have to say it was the most disappointing hunt I have ever been on and I’ve been on a lot of hunts with outfitters. The guy has know idea where the cougars where. We drove around 5 days blowing by tracks so fast you couldn’t even tell what they were. The dogs didn’t even know what they were doing don’t get me wrong the guy was really nice but just did not know how to hunt cougars. I found there are a lot of outfitters there that all they want is your money. That’s why they require it all up front before you hunt. Once they get the money in there hands the loose interest in working hard to find your animal your hunting. So don’t waste your money with this outfitter. There’s another outfitter I found there while I was there that is highly recommended by taxidermist in the area Tye hare with k9 outfitters I have booked a hunt with them next. I will update after my hunt with these guys. He is supposed to be the best outfitter in New Mexico.
