The Flying W
Diamond Ranch consists of approximately 15,000 acres of some
of the most scenic and historic country in New Mexico; the steep ridges
and ponderosa pines of the Capitan and Tucson Mountain ranges frame the
ranch from the east and the north with rolling hills of
pinon filling the far reaching horizon. The ranch runs from Smokey
Bear’s birthplace to his resting place in downtown Capitan, affording the
variety of landscape only captured in the hearts and minds of renowned
artists and photographers. These images are the subject of many famous New
Mexican works of art, hung on the walls of museums and homes throughout
the world. The legends of Billy the Kid crisscrossing this ranch during
the Lincoln County War still casts the shadow of a horse and rider roaming
the place under moonlit summer nights.
The added touch
of pride in this ranch and culture is best seen in both the cattle
production and the wildlife management commitment of the Tinsley family.
Our wildlife consultant, Jack McCormick, has coordinated a wildlife
management program on the ranch to provide a balance between those who
hunt and that which is hunted. This ranch has been in the Tinsley family
for over four and a half decades, and our commitment to improved water
systems and brush control has yielded some of the best grazing and
wildlife habitats in the state. These responsibilities are all undertaken
with the mind that a little fun ought to be had as well. The proximity to
the bustling community of Ruidoso provides the options that so many guests
of the Flying W Diamond enjoy; including snow skiing, horse racing or
visits to the Mescalero Indian Reservation for a game of chance or a round
of golf at a nationally
ranked course.
As you
traverse the pastures of Flying W Diamond, let the view of the majestic
Sierra Blanca mountain range in the distance impress upon you the heart of
southern New Mexico-an immense stretch of landscape so important to
understanding the term “heaven on earth.”
The Tinsley family welcomes
you to a world of cowboys, history, great hunting and fun times.
