A brief description of each hunt is shown below.

Ranch Based Hunts —

• Hunters are assigned to a specific cabin. The cabin depends on the size of your group. We have six cabins that hold from a single hunter up to 7 hunters. All cabins are heated, have a bathroom with shower and all but one has a fireplace. We work with each hunting party on how to best accommodate your group. Each cabin has beds, seats, bedding, towels, and shower supplies. Cabins do not have coffee makers, microwaves, or mini-fridges.
• Hunters are provided with breakfast, lunch, and dinner while at the ranch. Breakfasts and dinners are prepared and served in the lodge. Lunches are packed for those hunters who choose to be out in the field all day while hunters who return to the lodge will receive lunch there.
• Lodge based hunts are available during all seasons.

Drop Camp Hunts —

• Transportation into the drop camp will take place the day before opening day or as agreed with the hunters. We will transport hunters and their gear into the camp via horseback when safely possible. Horses will not remain in camp so all activities are on foot other than packing in and out.
• The camp will consist of a tent with heating stove, cooking stove, cooking equipment, lamps, chairs, tables, cots, and toilets. Wood will be cut in advance for heating and cooking.
• Food is supplied by each hunting party unless other plans have been made with the ranch. Food preparation is the responsibility of the hunting party.
• Hunters are allowed up to 100 pounds of equipment, supplies, and personal items. Items brought in must be packed in duffle bags weighing no more than 50 pounds each.
• There will be up to 6 hunters per camp.
• There will be periodic visits by Outfitter to check needs and ensure safety. These visits will be made at least every other day.
• Drop camps are available during archery, black powder, the first rifle, and the second rifle seasons.
  

Guided Hunts — Hunting Fee $2,900–$3,400

• Rates start at $2,900 for a guided 5 day rifle hunt or guided 6 day archery hunt. Both of these reflect a hunt out of the lodge.
• Wilderness camp hunts are $3,400 for rifle or archery hunts and include guides, food, camp cook and full packout service.
• There will be no more than 2 hunters per guide.
• Each guide will assist with all aspects of the hunt. This includes, but is not limited to, assisting hunters in getting from camp to the hunting area, tracking game, calling game, identifying game trails, recommending stands, assisting with shot selection, tracking downed game, field dressing, packing out, and care for meat, cape, and rack until stored at drop camp or ranch.
• Guides will work with each hunter to set up a personalized plan for the daily hunt.
• Guides are responsible for the safety of each hunter.
• Fully guided hunts are available for archery, black powder and all rifle seasons. Our guides will work to get hunters in place but will not necessarily stay with the hunters during the later rifle season hunts. Instead guides will continue scouting. Guides will still assist with all aspects of claiming game after the shot with guided hunts.
