Yes. Depending on the hunt you choose, we may need to use horses, ATVs, or 4WD trucks to reach the hunting area.
With an area as large as ours, we spread our hunts out to create the least amount of hunting pressure.
About The Hunts
Depending on the hunt, we'll be doing anything from spot and stalk to stand hunting (which can be a tree stand or out of a ground blind), or even just still hunting (“slow walking”).
As much you’re up for! It’s up to you to hunt as much as you want to.
With so much included in our hunts, it's easier to say what's NOT included. The following items are not included in the overall cost: state sales tax, hunting license, and animal tags, which can be purchased through us.
Yes! Home-cooked meals are provided as part of the cost of the hunt.
We always have a population of game in our area, when we make camp we rarely have to move to find game.

We’ll freeze the cape for you to take home, and we can recommend an excellent taxidermist.

Bring your own sleeping bags, pillows, and anything else you'll. Towels are provided during lodge hunts, but not camp hunts.
