Ways to hunt

Five ways into the hunt.

Hunting scenarios are chosen to suit each hunter, and your guide plans every day with you over breakfast.

  1. From a stand

    Hunting stands near the lodge.

  2. From a ground blind

    Ground blinds that allow for camouflage in strategic areas.

  3. By boat

    Travel by boat on the waterways to strategic hunting stands.

  4. On foot

    Traditional spot and stalk.

  5. From a tent camp

    Overnight tent camps take you further from the lodge and let you reach higher ground in a day.

A day on the hunt

From first light to the end of the day.

  1. Before first light

    The day begins with a hot breakfast prepared by our culinary staff. Over breakfast you and your guide plan the day's hunt.

  2. Out in the field

    Depending on the hunting scenario you choose for the day, you can take a packed meal with you or return to the lodge for a hot lunch.

  3. After a harvest

    Meat recovery is helicopter-assisted.

  4. At the end of the day

    At the lodge, the day ends with a hot shower and a hearty meal.
