What to Expect

All that you need to bring is your personal and hunting gear, including a sleeping bag and pillow. Food and drinks are provided during your hunt, but bring your choice of adult beverages. Multiple wall tents will be provided one for cooking and eating, with several others for sleeping which are equipped with cots, pads, table, and heat if needed. Meals will be prepared in a large cook tent or outside on a large stove, barbecue or smoker. Your harvest will be cleaned, skinned, quartered, and transported to a locker. Bring a large ice chest to take the meat home. A typical day begins early and can run into late evening. We most often stay out all day maximizing the time in the field. The day starts out driving the Honda Pioneer 1000-5 to a location, then hiking to a designated glassing spot. Be prepared for long hikes and glassing sessions. Typically this will be a spot and stock hunt in open country. Safety is the most important aspect of the hunt along with learning and having a great time. Camaraderie in the field and camp is a given.
