2007-2008 HUNTING SEASON
WHITETAIL TROPHY BUCK—one that scores at least 140 Boone
& Crockett gross points. There is a
$4,000 deposit to book a 3-day hunt—lodging is included. The deposit must be paid before arrival and
is non-refundable. Also included in a 3-day hunt, if time permits, are a doe
and hog. Offer not extended past the
original hunt. A trophy hunt begins
at $4,000 for a 140 B&C class deer. Deer with drop tines will be priced
individually.
Cost is determined by
Boone and Crockett gross score with a base price of $4,000 for a 140 B&C
point buck and an additional $150 for each B&C point over 140. For example:
A deer that scores 144 B&C points would cost $4,600. This
price scale would continue at $150 for each B&C point up to a 159 7/8’s
class deer.
A 160 B&C class deer begins at $7,000 with $300 per
B&C point added for anything 160 and above, up to a 179 7/8 gross. This is going up the scale by adding $300 a
B&C point.
A 180
B&C class deer begins at $15,000 with $350 for each additional B&C
point up to 189 7/8.
A 190
B&C class deer begins at $20,000 with $1,000 for each additional B&C
point up to 199 7/8.
A 200 B&C class deer
begins at $30,000 and may be priced in advance by owner.
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE DEER WE WANT TO BE
HARVESTED. WE HAVE SOME TROPHY DEER THAT
WILL BE PRICED INDIVIDUALLY.
MANAGEMENT DEER:
There is a $2,500 non-refundable deposit
required to book a 2-day hunt—lodging is included. All deer are chosen by guide. These mature deer
will score 129 7/8’s B/C gross or less and have no more than 8 points and an
18-inch inside spread. Even if the deer
scores higher than 130, no extra charge will be made. However,
if the
hunter declines the deer selected for him and decides to upgrade or choose his
own, then if his choice scores 130 up to 139 7/8's, there will be additional
charges of $100 a B/C point for deer scoring above 129 7/8. Example:
A deer chosen by the hunter that scores 134 will have $400 added to the
base price of $2,500. Total cost would
be $2,900. This applies to mature 8-point deer with no
abnormal points or kickers whether they be less than 1" or not.
Trophy price scale will be used if his chosen deer scores 140 B/C or
more. The deposit of $2500 would apply toward the total cost. If
time permits, a doe and hog are included.
FATHER / MOTHER / RELATIVE WITH DAUGHTER / SON /
RELATIVE (AGE 16 OR YOUNGER) HUNTING PACKAGE:
Children aged 16 or
younger who accompany a relative with at least one paid "TROPHY HUNT"
qualify for a cull deer hunt for an additional $500 fee OR $1,000 with one paid
"MANAGEMENT HUNT." As in all
other packages, the meals are extra, but lodging is included. Unlimited hogs are included for the
youth.
· All deer hunts are guided
· All weapons must be
sighted in before hunt begins.
· No ammunition will be
allowed in weapons until hunter is in the blind and, only then, with the
permission of the guide.
· No smoking or drinking
of alcoholic beverages before or during hunting in stands.
A shot deer belongs to
the hunter. Every attempt will be made
to find the wounded animal. The
landowner or guide will determine who carries a gun on this search. If dogs are used, it will be at the hunter's
expense. The cost of the deer will be
determined by the guess estimate made before the shot if the deer isn't
found. A refund will be made if later
the deer is found and scores less than first thought. If, on the other hand, the deer scores
higher, then the hunter is expected to pay the balance.
Doe hunts - $300 for one
doe or $500 for 2 (same hunter/same day) if available and in season
Spikes - $300 for one
spike or $500 for 2 (same hunter/same day)
We reserve the right to choose the spikes to be harvested for this
price.
YOU FORFEIT YOUR DEPOSIT
IF YOU HAVE PASSED UP A DEER THAT FALLS IN THE CATEGORY OF THE PACKAGE HUNT YOU
HAVE SELECTED. We want to give you the
best opportunity for every day of your hunt and, if circumstances beyond our
control affected your hunt, we will extend it beyond the regular hunt with no
guide fee added (you only pay for additional days of lodging and meals at $125
a day). However, if you have turned down
a trophy deer for a paid trophy hunt or a management deer for a paid management
deer hunt for any reason, then there will be additional charges for extra
days. A charge of $300 a day will be
assessed for additional days of a hunt.
These charges will be above the cost of the deer. For example:
Cost of a 140-class deer would be $4,000. If you hunted an additional 3 days, you would
owe an additional $900. The total would
then be $4,900. Additional days for a
hunt will have to be worked around our booked schedule. We would never affect another hunter's
opportunity to have a good hunt.
Additional days could follow your hunt if no one is booked, but if there
is a conflict, then we would have to work additional days around open
time. If you have turned down
opportunities to shoot and extra days can't be worked in, either because of
your schedule or ours, then you forfeit your deposit.
IF YOU CANCEL YOUR HUNT,
YOU FORFEIT YOUR DEPOSIT. If you cannot come on your scheduled date, we will make
every effort to reschedule for you.
THERE ARE SEVERAL LOCAL
CONTESTS (see page 6). THE HUNTER IS
