HUNTING FEES A $1,000 non-refundable deposit will be required at time of booking. Additional people brought to accompany hunter will be charged $150 per day. When hunter harvest his buck, ranch personnel will measure for gross Boone & Crockett score. Guide may attempt to guess the gross Boone & Crockett score before the shot but the cost will be based on the fee schedule. Hunter’s $1,000 deposit will be applied to the cost of the hunt. If hunter’s guide is unable to present a reasonable opportunity to his client at a shootable buck (Class hunt was booked for) during the course of the hunt, hunter will be refunded $500 of his $1,000 deposit. If, however, hunter chooses to refuse a reasonable opportunity at any animal that meets this criteria (to be described by guide’s decision), hunter then agrees and understands taht at the point in the hunt he has forfeited his $1,000 deposit. Hunter also agrees that upon the taking or passing of the prescribed animal, his hunt will be considered over by the guide’s or ranch personnel’s decision. Call for trophy fees. WOUNDED GAME If at the discretion of the guide a hunter wounds a deer, it may be considered a kill whereas the harvest fee of the estimated B&C score per the guide will apply. Retrieval efforts will be attempted. Fortunately, a couple of the best deer trailing dog handlers are within 1 hour of the ranch, and the hunter may request their services at the hunter’s expense. |
