Description
All the hunts are based off of “Guide Only” packages. You'll bring your personal gear, bow (hunters are encouraged to bring their own targets), and food, but don’t stress about the rest. The guide will take care of the rest once you're there, including transportation to and from the field. All you need to focus on is enjoying the hunt and staying prepared. Before you head out to the field, it's tradition to enjoy coffee and Danish rolls from the nearby gas station. Since hunts can last all day, be sure to pack a cooler with your lunch and drinks because you’ll likely be out in the field until dinner. The guide will be handling all the heavy lifting like field dressing and local delivery to the processor if necessary. After a long day in the field, the group will head to town for dinner. It’s a short 20-minute drive from the ranch house, but it’s a nice time to relax, share stories from the day, and refuel before doing it all over again.
