What type of hunting will we be doing?

We mostly take full advantage of our optics. Once we find an animal you like to harvest we will typically stalk to him. All of our antelope archery hunts are out of ground blinds at proven water holes.

What will the weather be like?

This is mostly a concern for our late season hunts in December and January. Most years, expect freezing temperatures and typically 12”-18” of snow. For our early season hunts expect cool to brisk morning & evenings and moderate midday temps.

Taxidermist?

We have a local taxidermist that we recommend and he does excellent work. If you choose to have your own taxidermist we will cape your animal for you and prepare it for transport.

Do you guarantee a kill?

Although we do not guarantee a kill, we typically average 95% harvest. The remaining 5% of people not successful usually have missed their chance to take an animal.

Typical shot distance?

The terrain we hunt is very open, it is not uncommon to have ranges from 250-350 yards. We encourage our hunters to be comfortable at that distance.

What is the typical size of animals taken?

Should I tip?

Although gratuities are not required it is a common practice to tip your guide and the cook if you are satisfied with your hunt and the food (Much like going to a restaurant) Our staff works very hard to make your hunt as enjoyable as can be. Standard gratuities are 10% of the hunt cost.

What kind of camo should I bring?

We hunt very open country with mature sagebrush ranging from 1’ tall up to 8’ tall. The ranch also has cedar trees and rimrock. Your camo, if you choose to wear it, should be an open and lighter color..

What kind of optics should I bring?

We recommend 10X42 power binoculars. You will spend a considerable amount of time glassing the terrain. Your guide will have a spotting scope but you are welcome to bring one.

What if I am out of shape?

This is a very common question. This hunt is very unique simply because of the high numbers of animals on the ranch. We will hunt you to your abilities. This hunt is perfect for those of us who don’t hit the gym daily.

Transportation to and from the airport?

If you choose not to rent a vehicle at the airport, we will transport you to and from the local, yampa valley regional airport.

Do we accept credit cards?

No, upon booking confirmation of your hunt a deposit of 50% is due, which we can receive in a personal check. Upon arrival at camp we accept cash or money order only.

Do I have to “draw” a license?

No, We have an allocated number of tags from the state.

What happens to my meat after the kill?

Once your animal hits the ground, your guide will field dress him and bring him back to camp where he will skin or cape him. The carcass will be quartered and brought to a local butcher shop (Brothers custom processing in Craig Colorado). If you drove your own vehicle, we will store your meat until you leave. We do not debone the carcass, although you may if you choose.
