Before You Hunt

Before you arrive, we want you to be fully aware of what to expect and what we expect of you.  We will show you our ranch and give you assistance as you desire in your hunt.  We ask that the boundaries of our neighbors be respected and we anticipate that they will respect ours.

Lodging

All cabins are heated, have full bathrooms with hot/cold water, full bunks with mattresses, cook stoves and refrigerators.  Most cabins do not have dishes or cooking utensils.  Our accommodations include twin beds, so sleeping bags or sheets to fit these beds are necessary.  All hunters are responsible for their own bedding.

ATV Use

The use of ATVs is discouraged. ATVs may be used for retrieval of game when necessary.  If riding on an ATV, the hunter must have his gun completely unloaded and secured in a hard case (as per Division of Wildlife rules).

Firearms

Firearms are to be completely unloaded any time the hunter is in a vehicle. While on foot, we recommend there be no bullet in the chamber until the hunter is ready to shoot. 

Alcohol

You are welcome to bring your own alcoholic drinks.  While everyone is encouraged to have a good time during his hunt, there will be absolutely no toleration of alcohol in the field or anywhere outside of the camp, in the field, vehicles or at anytime while hunting.

Care of Game

We will help you get your game out of the field and skinned at no charge.  It is each hunter's responsibility for the care and processing and shipping of their animals. We have a large walk-in cooler for game storage and can assist you in getting your meat to a local processor.   

Taxidermist

We also will have a taxidermist in camp to assist you with your cape or mounting if you prefer.  The fees for this are between the two parties.

Gratuity

Gratuity for cooks and guides are encouraged but are at your discretion.  Industry averages are 5-10%.
