Before The Cockhouse was a hunting lodge, the ground it sits on had a different kind of fight in it. Locals say the property was once a cockfighting arena, part of a rural New Mexico tradition that ran back generations.
New Mexico held onto the sport longer than almost anywhere in the country. It was the 49th state to ban it, finally outlawing cockfighting in 2007. Around San Juan County the local arenas were where ranch hands, oilfield crews and their families gathered on the weekend, and the fighting rooster stood for grit and plain toughness.
When Derek Martin and Wild Out Pro took over the property, they kept that story instead of painting over it. The name stuck, and so did the logo: a rooster in boxing gloves standing in an archway. These days that same fighting spirit goes into chasing trophy game.
The lodge sits outside Blanco at about 5,568 feet on the Colorado Plateau, roughly 20 miles east of Farmington. People have lived in this basin for more than a thousand years. Ancestral Puebloans built great houses and kivas here, and Chaco Canyon lies off to the southeast. Ranching families homesteaded the cedar and sage in the late 1800s, then oil and gas remade the whole region in the early 1900s.
