Booking Information
To insure your hunt
is firmly booked I require a deposit of 50% of the cost of
your hunt. With this deposit please inclose a note that includes
the number of hunters in your group and the species each hunter
wishes to hunt, and the number of non-hunters if any in your
group. All permits are limited so be precise when listing
the species. I will need one complete name, email address,
home address and phone number so I have a contact person for
the group.
If I have not emailed you a hunting contract and a liability
waiver please ask for them. They must be filled in by each
member of your hunting party even if a member is a non hunter.
They are legal documents so they must be filled in correctly
or they will need to be redone. Each must be returned with
the required deposit for a complete booking. Make copies for
each member of your party.
When the deposit, hunting contract and liability waiver are
received I will contact you to confirm your booking and ensure
all details are correct. Always carry a copy of your hunting
contract for proof of your hunt if asked by customs.
Final payment of your hunt will be expected upon arrival and
must be made in guarranteed funds only. Cash, travelers checks
or a bank draft are acceptable. Under no circumstances
will personal checks or money orders be accepted for final
payment.
Booking a year or more in advance:
If booking a year in advance a small deposit of $500.00 per
hunter will hold your hunt until the December before your
hunt. At this time the remainder of your deposit must be sent
in order to continue to hold your hunt.

Import
Regulations
Check with your
local authorities for import regulations into your country
and any country you may be travelling through.
Remember - export permits may be required for each country
you leave.
Meat
Left Behind
For clients who do not want
their wild game meat or parts of their wild game meat and
wish to leave this meat behind: You must have the edible
portions of your game meat processed at our local butcher.
Your outfitter or your guide will pick up your unwanted
processed meat from the local butcher and distribute it
to any needy families. Thank you for your contribution to
the needy.
Hunting
Camp
Our camp consists of heated
cabins as sleeping quarters. Each building has 4 single
beds with mattresses (bring your own sleeping bag), a propane
light and a propane heater, a sink and a bucket of water
for washing. Yes, we do have a camp shower. Our
kitchen, with a cook, supplies a hearty breakfast before
our hunt, and a huge supper when we return at the end of
our day. We hunt all day and do not wish to return to camp,
so mid-day lunches are in the field. Our comfortable hunting
camp is built for hunting purposes. It is not a lodge with
fancy fixings.
Terrain
and Hunting Methods
For the most part,
our hunting terrain is flat land. We have a mixed boreal
forest of pine, spruce, aspen, willow, alder and buckbrush.
Generally speaking we leave camp with the vehicles and drive
to an active hunting area. Depending on the species being
hunted we my stay with the pickup but usually we hunt on
foot or by quad. If you harvest your trophy we will prepare
it for transport, and then haul it back to camp for you.
Weather
Who can really
answer this question? The month of May generally offers
warm spring temperatures, ranging from 60 to 70 degrees
F. (or 15 to 22 degrees C). During the fall season September
should average 50 to 70 degrees F (10 to 22 degrees C).
October temperatures may be 32 degrees to 60 degrees F.
(0 to 15 degrees C), and nights may bring below-freezing
temperatures. Early November could be -15 to +40 degrees
F. (-10 to +5 degrees C). If you have the room bring extra
clothing just in case.
