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.
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.
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.
