ABOUT: Armendaris is located in Southwestern New Mexico along the Rio Grande River, and consists of 362,885 acres of mostly Chihuahuan and semi-desert grasslands. The Fra Cristobal Mountain range on property is home to a successfully reintroduced desert bighorn sheep population.  The bighorn sheep restoration project on Armendaris, led by Turner Endangered Species Fund, commenced in 1995 and concluded in 2011. Bighorn ram hunts were then implemented in the following year in 2012. Partnering with Ted Turner Reserves, Armendaris offers world class guest services and accommodations.

PREMIUM HUNTS: Armendaris is renowned for its conservation-forward hunting experience that includes desert bighorn, African oryx and mule deer. Armendaris also offers bison hunts exclusively through its Ultimate Armendaris Hunt Experience when mature animals are available.
