Q: If I book an archery elk or early season rifle will the elk be bugling?Ī: Animals are unpredictable and do what they want to do. We may go 2 or 3 days without seeing the species being hunted but stay patient because the next one you see can very well be a giant. Q: How long is the drive from the lodge to the hunting area?Ī: The drive time can be as little as 5 minutes or as long as 1 hour, depending on weather and where we think the game are located.Ī: There are areas that hold big herds of game, we may have a smaller herd but hold great genetics. We provide breakfast, lunch and dinner all of which are home cooked meals. We have a lodge that will sleep up to 10 people. Q: Do I need to bring a sleeping bag or tent?Ī: All of our hunts include meals and lodging unless otherwise specified. We also have donation sheets should you choose to do that as well.Ī: We have several taxidermists in our area that we've used and gladly recommend. There may be other shipping options, but each hunter will be responsible for setting that up and all costs. If flying please check with airlines about pricing and shipping regulations. A good sized elk will fill 2 -150 quart coolers after processing, more if the elk is just quartered. He will vacuum seal all cuts and is reasonably priced.Ī: If you are driving be sure to bring several coolers to take your harvest home with you. We have a wild game processor that is available to every hunter. Q:What do I do with the meat until I take it home or to the processor? How can we take our game animal home?Ī: We have a walk in cooler that will hang several animals until the trip to the processer or home is made. Q: What gear should I bring beside my bow or gun?Ī: You may choose to bring mid to lightweight leather boots, binoculars, range finders, plenty of ammo (arrows and/or bullets), shooting sticks, and a small day pack. In gist, bring a variety of clothing, some for warm weather and some for cold. The old saying around here is, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes". You may also consider bringing rain gear. From October on our temperatures vary from freezing to mid 70's. Most of our early season hunts (August-mid September) are usually pretty warm. Q: What is the weather like? What clothing should I bring?Ī: The camouflage you choose to bring should vary in weight. And don't forget to leave a tip for the camp cook! Some people say tip according to your experience/success of the hunt.Īgain, there is no set amount to give your guide but keep in mind all of our guides work extremely hard to ensure that all of our hunters have a good time and will work tirelessly to get you a shot opportunity. Some people say tip 10-20% of the hunt cost. Here are some options you can consider during your hunt. Q: This is my first time on a guided hunt, what are the normal tipping guidelines?Ī: There is no set amount to tip a guide. We encourage each archery hunter to bring his or her own range finder due to the fact that your guide may not be at your side for the shot. The weight a hunter pulls varies due to physical limits but we would recommend 50lbs or more if possible. We like to use fixed broad-heads due to some bad experiences with mechanical. Q: I am an archery hunter, how far should i be able to shoot? What type of broad-heads should i use? How much weight should i be pulling? Do i need a range finder?Ī: We encourage every hunter to shoot as far as possible to prepare for our hunts, we regularly shoot out to 90 yards, even though we will not shoot an elk at that distance, it is nice to be able to take a follow up shot at that distance. We accommodate each hunter the best we can on an individual basis. We typically do more walking/hiking during archery hunts. We have 4x4 vehicles and roads that will get us close to each hunting area. Q: Will I have to hike everyday? And how much?Ī: Though there will always be some walking/hiking on every hunt we try to keep the transfer of scent to a minimum. We hunt canyons and hillsides, as well as mesa tops. We have several types of cactus as well as cedar and juniper trees.
