What is the average shot distance?

Rifle shots will average from 300 out to 600 yards while archery shots will average 25-75 yards.

What does our hunt day consist of?

Our day will start early before sunrise, we will eat, or pack breakfast and lunch then head out early to a glassing spot. We do most of our glassing from high vantage points to locate game, then a stalk can be planned. Some archery elk and deer hunts may consist of sitting a water source (very effective in AZ) to provide the highest chance at success. On some early season hunts, we may end up back at camp mid-day during the heat of the day. For the later season hunts especially, you should be prepared to be out in the field all day. We will arrive back to camp after sunset to eat a good warm cooked meal and prepare for the next day’s hunt.

What is the difference between Fully Outfitted and Guided-Only hunt?

Fully Outfitted hunts we supply a full camp, meals, beverages (non-alcoholic). Guided-Only hunts you provide your own meals and lodging.

Our camps will have canvas wall tents with heating, lighting, and extra-large cots. Hot showers can be provided on wall tent camps. Camps will have a cook or your guide to provide you with breakfast, sack lunch, and a warm cooked meal for dinner.

Tips are not included in the hunt price. Our professional guides work very hard to make sure your hunt is 100% enjoyable and successful. Keep in mind, most of our guides have full time jobs and families and take vacation time to do what we enjoy. Most tips range from 12%-15% of your hunt cost. Tips are always appreciated and earned.
