Rifle
And Ammunition
Due to
the many types of terrain encountered, as well as the size
of the game hunted, a flat shooting, hard hitting caliber
rifle with at least a 4-power scope is a must. We recommend
a 270-300 magnum sighted in at 2 inches high at 100 yards.
Shots range from 25 to 350 yards. We recommend at least two
boxes of ammunition. Sighting in your rifle may be necessary
after flying.
Bowhunting
We recommend
lots of practice. Accuracy and shot placement are vital to
the success of the hunt. Normal range varies from 10 to 50
yards. Know your equipment and practice, practice,practice.
Trophies
and Meat
If you plan to send your trophies to your own taxidermist,
our guides will prepare your hides and capes. We deliver the
meat to a local game processor where it is cut and wrapped,
then quick-frozen for shipment. No dry ice or refrigeration
truck is available. We suggest taking meat as excess baggage
or shipping UPS Blue Label on Monday or Tuesday. Processing
deer and antelope costs $40 - $45 per animal and processing
elk costs approximately $200+. Deer, antelope and elk make
excellent eating.
Insurance
And Responsibility
We
encourage the purchase of vacation insurance covering personal
property and personal injury. Many insurance companies offer
such policies at modest daily rates. Although we spare no
effort to assure a safe trip, an expedition of this kind is
not without some risk. We do not assume responsibility for
injury to clients, loss of personal belongings, or time or
expenses incurred. Each
hunter is required to sign a liability release before the
hunt begins.
Weather
Though generally excellent for hunting, Montana weather is
unpredictable. Be prepared for cold and possibly wet weather.
But also be prepared to enjoy some of the most glorious fall
hunting days imaginable.
Transportation
Hunters fly
commercially with excellent connections to Billings, Montana
where car rentals are available.
SUVs
and pickup trucks are recommended to provide room for hunter,
equipment and boxes or cooler for frozen meat.

We will gladly send you references upon request. Feel free
to call or write them, but please respect their privacy and
call during decent hours.
