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 10 hunters. All cabins are heated, have a bathroom with shower and several have 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 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, chairs, tables, cots, and toilets. Wood will be cut in advance for heating and cooking.
• Food is supplied by the ranch while food storage and 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.
