FAQ

 

Do you have a camp minimum?

Yes, We do have a camp minimum.  Our deer on the average score a 140-160 on the Boone-Crocket scale.  In order for us to continue offering big deer year after year, we must enforce a camp minimum.
The camp minimum is 130bc.  Because we know it is hard to judge a deer in the wild, we allow a 10" leeway down to 120bc.  If you shoot a deer below 120bc, you will be fined $ 500.00.  This is due before you leave camp.  Cash or money order only. We do not do this for the money, but so that we can offer a quality buck and hunt.  

What is not included in the price of the hunt?

Not included is Hunting license, Airfare, one night motel room stay, and your Canadian gun registration.
