When
you hunt with us, you will see many bulls but, our hunts are not
guaranteed. If they were, it would not really be hunting. While
your hunt will not be a "slam-dunk" we do expect to be
able to put you in front of some trophy bulls. With this in mind,
we have a very workable program. (96% success rate) REMEMBER,
if you are unable to harvest a bull, you have only invested the
$900 reservation fee!
Our
pricing is broken into 3 simple categories.
Our program is simple and honest. There are NO hidden
charges, and NO attempts to get you to pay surprise fees. We offer
a straight-forward program, with 3 simple choices.
- PROMOTIONAL HUNT Each season we
offer a limited quantity of "PROMOTIONAL" hunts. Very
simply, any bull that you harvest which has antlers that are of
a size between single-spikes, and as large as a 5 x 5, the fee
will be: $900 to secure the hunt reservation, with $3,150 more
due if the hunt is successful. These "PROMOTIONAL" hunts
will be limited so ask about availability. While the majority
of these bulls fall between 4 x 4 and 5 x 5 racks, this program
applies to all bull elk ranging in the size described above, and
may be guided on a 1 x 1 basis, or 1 x 2 basis, at our discretion.
- TROPHY BULL HUNT This is our most
popular hunt and refers to a bull elk that is truly the trophy
of a life-time. This category of bull is at least a 5 x 6 (points
on antlers) or greater. On average, most of the bulls in this
category are at least a 6 x 6, measuring well over 300" S.C.I.,
and usually over 325" S.C.I. For this hunt, your reservation
fee is $900. If you are successful, $5,450 is due when you bag
a trophy. For those of you that are not fully knowledgeable about
what a 300" S.C.I. bull is, 90% of all bulls killed in the
western U.S.A. are well below this size. Few are 6 x 6 and you
probably will never meet anybody who has taken a bull over 325"
S.C.I. Most of the bulls taken on our ranch are this size and
larger.
- SUPER-BULL OPPORTUNITY One in a thousand
bulls may reach such large antler growth, that his antlers attain
a measurement of 380" S.C.I. Our superior genetic-base allows
this to occur more often in this herd. We expect to have a few
bulls here that will score between 380" SCI and 410"
SCI If you are looking for a bull like this, and are lucky enough
to bag one with these massive dimensions, you have come to the
right place. Any bull taken with antlers measuring 380" SCI
or more, will carry with it an additional $2,500 "Super-Bull"
fee. This fee is in addition to the regular fee for a trophy bull
elk.
NOTE: Do not worry that
you need to know what class your bull will fall in to. It is our
guides responsibility to notify you when the bull is spotted, and
prior to your harvesting of that animal, what category he falls
in to. Additionally, it is the guides responsibility to locate a
bull for you, that is in the class that you are pursuing. Any guest
that has the opportunity to harvest a Trophy Bull Elk, will be advised
by the guide if there is reason to believe that the bull in question
is potentially in the "Super Bull" category. Based on
that input, the guest has the choice to take the shot, or not. As
always, it is the guests choice.
