Safaris offer combo-hunts?
Additional animals may be

combination hunts at a discounted rate. Call us for availability and what
may be combined with the species you are wanting to harvest.

species hunted although we currently lease over 500,000 acres of private
land exclusively for our operation.

free chase hunts with no game enclosures to ensure a more quality
experience. We have extremely high success rates on all trips and will do
our best within the limits of the law to obtain your trophy.

your request we will provide any references that might be helpful in
making your decision to hunt with us.

What caliber firearm do I need to bring and what should it be
sighted in for?
I recommend a good flat
shooting caliber that is sighted in 2 inches high at 100 yards. Most
calibers in the .270, 30.06, 7mm Mag and .300 Mag range are sufficient for
the game you will be hunting. Check your sight pattern prior to arrival
and be proficient to shooting up to 300 yards.

We book all clients on
a first-come, first-serve basis and your deposit will secure your dates
selected. We will hold your dates no more than 10 days without a paid
deposit unless other arrangements have been made in advance.
