About Chama River Outfitters
OUTDOORSMAN.COM OUTFITTER OF THE MONTH - AUGUST 2007
We at Chama River Outfitters are dedicated to the idea of offering all of our clients the opportunity of taking a good, Trophy Class animal. We offer Elk Hunting in Chama New Mexico and are very careful to lease only ranches that have a good number of quality animals. I, Bob Ball, guided my first hunter professionally, in November, 1967. Every year is even more fun than the last for Chama Elk Hunting. All of our guides are well seasoned outdoorsmen who enjoy what they do.
We have an outstanding reputation for providing a good, honest, fair chase hunt for Elk Hunting Chama New Mexico. Our entire staff is proud of the fact that most of our hunters hunt with us year after year. We look forward to Elk Hunting with you.
Got a burning desire to explore the beautiful Chama Valley and see the abundant wildlife? Then you've landed at the right place - the Chama River Outfitters.
We understand that it is impossible for our clients to enjoy our hunts if we don't. All of our hunts are conducted on well managed, private ranches and we have exclusive hunting rights on these properties. We always limit the number of hunters on these lands, and we always enforce a set of rules and regulations to help provide a safe and enjoyable big game hunt for everyone.
Our reasonable fees include great hunting country, a well qualified guide, all meals, lodging, game retrieval and transportation to a meat cutter, expert trophy preparation and all vehicles necessary during your hunt.
We have Guided Hunters from all parts of the country over the past 27 years. We are very careful to protect our hunters privacy; however, if you are honestly interested in one of our hunts we will gladly put you in touch with some of our clients.
Many things directly affect the success of our big game hunt.. Equipment malfunctions, migrations patterns that can change overnight, shooting ability, hunter conditioning, personal attitude and acts of God all determine if you will take your trophy animal. Therefore, we do not guarantee that you will go home with a big bull or buck that you have dreamed about for months before you came to hunt. However, we feel that we have a moral and ethical responsibility to do our best to get you that chance. More often than not we do get you that opportunity.
All hunting properties leased by Chama River Outfitters are privately owned. We lease ranches in the higher elevations for archery and early season rifle hunts and properties at lower elevations for later season migration hunts. We are careful to lease only ranches which offer the potential for quality animals.
One of our high ranches borders the world famous Chama Land & Cattle Co. known for their outstanding private Elk herd. They have recently taken their high fence down which borders us. This allows their fine bulls to step across the fence to our place. We lease properties with elevations from 6,500 ft. to 11, 432 ft.

Testimonials
Every aspect of your operation is conducted in a totally professional manner. The guide I hunted with is the perfect example of a true professional hunter. As a result of his efforts I saw approximately 100 elk in my five days of hunting. In fact, my observation of all your guides indicated they were of similar caliber.
The accommodations camp atmosphere you have established greatly enhances the enjoyment of the hunt. Additionally, the food prepared by your wife, Shelia and her helpers was absolutely outstanding. She clearly runs the best restaurant in Chama!
Again, thank you for a wonderful hunting experience. You have exceptional hunting country, plenty of elk, and operate a truly professional operation. I would highly recommend anyone wanting a great Hunt to do it with CRO.
with different outfitters and none compare to the experience of hunting with Bob & Shelia
Ball.
Bob runs a terrific hunt, from the camp, cabins and food to the very experienced personel
in the guides and camphands. Shelia operates a top notch kitchen with the very best meals 3 times a day and her staff always aims to please.
Bob maintains a very high quality hunt because he believes in preserving the land and animals on all the ranches he leases. Every year my wife and I look forward to
our annual trip to Chama for good times and great memories.
Sincerely, George Ghiglia
First of all, I want to thank you for the absolutely fantastic time at Rancho Ball during the hunt. The accommodations were the best and the food, well, y'all witnessed the carnage at the table each and every time you pur food in front of me! Shelia, you are an absolutely fantastic cook. I don't know why or how Bob stays as trim as he does...I'd be as big as a barn! It was really great.
Bob, you are a fantastic guy and a fantastic guide (when your hunter listens to you). You are more knowledgeable about elk hunting than anyone I have ever met. You taught me a lot and I'll never forget it. I hope one of these days to make another hunt like that one. I will never forget the first time I heard that elk bugle...it put chills down my spine. It is one of the prettiest sounds that I have ever heard.
Well I guess I better wrap this up. 'Hope the gun season went well.
Sincerely, Dave Mayfield
The cabins are very nice and the food is great. The guides and the hunt are operated in a professional manner and thier expertise show.
