No. When hunters book with us, we like to know what their main objective is so we can make every effort to have a good selection of that particular trophy available when hunters arrive. When the actual hunt occurs anyone can change their mind if they see a different trophy that they prefer.
Yes, you can. It is not uncommon for hunters to harvest multiple trophies when they get here. Just need to let your guide know what you want to do. There is usually a price discount on the second trophy taken. If, when you book your high fence hunt, you know that you want to harvest multiple trophies, please let us know.
Our season normally opens on September 1st. and continues thru the end of the year. If you want hard-horned elk, they are always done polishing by the first of September. If you want whitetails in velvet, early September is the time to come in. If you want whitetails in hard-horn, they are pretty well polished up by approx. September 20 and after.
Yes, you can. You can hunt together or in separate locations. Just let us know your preference. Our towers and stands are very spacious and can comfortably accommodate a couple with a guide.
Yes, if the spouse wants to go along on the hunts, that works. If the spouse would prefer to stay back and hang around the lodge, that works also.
Your final payment is due after you have harvested your trophy(s). There are not any interim payments.
In most cases, the answer is no. Pictures on our website are there to represent the quality of animals that you will find when you arrive. Our objective is to present a great selection of bucks and bulls to you and let you decide which to pursue.
