Booking a Hunt and Availability of Hunt Dates

        If you're thinking of hunting with us, please give us a call, and if you're putting in for a license, please let us know and we will try to accommodate your requested hunt dates. Hunt dates are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis, so if you have notified us early that you intended to put in for a license, you will be first in line for hunt dates. To book a hunt, we require a 50% deposit and a signed contract. We will only formally book a hunt after you have been successful in the license draw. The balance is due when you arrive for your hunt.
        When you book after the license draw, remember that we give date preferences to hunters who have either booked first or who have notified us prior to the license draw that they intended to put in for a license. Please book as early as possible to ensure you get the hunt dates you want, and let us know if you're planning to put in for a license. Due to the number of repeat clients and the finite number of guides, our openings are limited. Season dates are subject to change by the Wyoming Game and Fish Department.

Refund Policy

        We cannot offer refunds (except under extreme circumstances) if you're unable to make your scheduled hunt. Our refund policy is in accordance with license refunds offered by the Game and Fish.


Getting to the Ranch

        The ranch is located a little over two hours from Cheyenne, and Cheyenne is about two hours from Denver. Some hunters fly into Denver or Cheyenne, and some fly into Laramie, which is even closer -- about one and a half hours from the ranch. Some hunters drive too -- let us know where you're coming in from and we can tell you the best route and might even be able to pick you up. Confused? Check out our map.

Air Travel Tips for Hunters

Firearms and Ammunition:
        Guns and ammunition are only allowed as checked luggage or in checked baggage.
        Firearms must be unloaded, in a locked case and declared to airline personnel.
        Ammunition must be in a factory box or in a suitable safe container and must be declared to airline personnel.
        Additional information can be found at www.tsa.gov
Other Items:
        Flammable items, such as propane are not permitted in checked or carry-on bags.
        Knives and cutting devices must be placed in checked luggage and not carried on board.
        If you have questions at the airport, ask for the TSA Supervisor.
        Failure to comply with the above may result in criminal and substantial civil penalties.

Preference Points

     The preference point system is optional. Nonresidents who apply for a license with the preference point purchase option will be awarded a point if unsuccessful for drawing a license on their first choice. Hunters who apply for a license and preference point purchase and are successful in drawing a license on their second or third choice will still be awarded a point. This gives hunters the option of applying for a hard-to-draw area on their first choice, listing an easy-to-draw area on their second and still build preference points for future years.
     Cost of the preference point is $50 for elk, $40 for deer, $30 for antelope and $10 for each species for youth under 18. Hunters who wish to apply for a preference point only without the possibility of drawing a license will need to wait until Sept. 30.
