Hunting FAQ
Upon booking a drop camp or pack trip, we send a detailed packet of information including a recommended packing list, weight limit on gear, maps of your camp. We are happy to answer any detailed questions you have as well.
Do I need a satellite phone?
We ask that our drop camp hunters rent or bring a satellite device (phone or texting device) to be able to communicate to our wrangler and also be equipment for communication in the event of an emergency.
What elevation are your camps?
We have several drop camps located in the Weminuche Wilderness. They range from 9,000 - 11,000 ft in elevation. If you are coming from lower elevations, we recommend you come a day or more in advance to let your body acclimate to the altitude. Hydrating is an important key to helping your body adjust. You can also talk to your doctor in advance to your trip if they recommend anything for you.
Do you offer a military discount?
We do offer a discount for anyone in active military duty. Please ask for details.
