How Tough Are Our Hunts?
On our hunts you will be staying right at the ranch house with us. You will have hot showers and eat home style meals with our family. For those wanting to stay closer to the night-life a newer local Motel is also close at hand for your use, with restaurants, bars and casinos available. The use of private property, 4-wheel drive trucks, preseason scouting, knowledgeable guides, plentiful game, and the kind of country we hunt, most of the hunts are not real physically demanding. We have guided clients in their teens to in their 70's and have had very good success. Anyone under 18 must submit proof verifying they have completed a safe handling firearms course. Anyone having special needs will be matched up with the right guide. The pace of the hunt will be geared to accommodate you on your western hunt.
Rifles & Optics
We recommend flat shooting calibers, .243, .25-06, .270, 7mm, for our deer and antelope hunts. Your rifle should be sighted in 1-2 inches high at 100 yards. A 4x or better scope is recommended for this is big country and shots can be long. Prepare yourself for shots 25 to 400 yards with a good average of about 250 yards. Sight in your gun and practice shooting FREE HAND, kneeling, sitting and prone. Be comfortable shooting and KNOW YOUR GUN. Every year we see Trophy animals get away because of the hunter's shooting. Bring good quality binoculars. The country we hunt is very big and good binoculars can save you time and many miles of walking.
