Soon you will see for yourself that nothing tops the beauty and hospitality of the Big Sky Country. Our clients benefit from our experience--over 25 years experience in the Outfitting business. All of our hunts are conducted on private leases and are well managed for Trophy Quality animals. We only take a small number of clients each year; quality, not quantity is important. All of our hunts are fair chase with no guarantees or high fences and are fully guided 2x1. If a 1x1 is desired then an additional $150.00 a day will be charged. The normal modes of transportation are by 4x4 pickup and foot. Field care of the trophy, warm, dry accommodations and hot and hearty home cooked meals are included in the hunt. For all Montana hunts, the balance is to be paid no later than 60 days prior to arrival. Other hunts may have a different payment structure and will be stated during booking. Our camps provide all of the essential comforts required on a big-game hunt. We provide our guests with a warm, dry bunk and filling meals that can suppress even the heartiest appetites. Accommodations typically are in a ranch style bunkhouse, with a cook, cots and a shower. At times we do utilize weather resistant wall tents that are outfitted with stoves and cots. We never have more than 4-6 hunters in camp at any one time unless it is a group that comes together. Rifle Elk Hunt Mule deer, whitetail and black bear also inhabit the same area.

Spring and Fall Arctic Island Muskox At Holman, Northwest Territories Our Muskox hunts out of Holman have been 100% successful in the past and we anticipate the same rate of success with our new style of hunting. We also expect the trophy quality to improve, and hunter satisfaction to skyrocket! While you will be using the snowmobiles to find the muskox, the law requires the final 1.5km stalk to be on foot. There is an option to shoot a second Muskox on this hunt. Like our Caribou hunts, many hunters like to have the option of a second tag. Fall hunts are harder and you will only see ten percent of the muskox you may see on a spring hunt but the hunter's success rate is still 100%. You will go inland by ATV or along the coast by boat to find your muskox. Riding on the back of these four wheelers can be challenging and sometimes very uncomfortable. Hunters have the option of returning each night to stay in the community hotel or with their guides at an additional cost. If a hunter wishes to camp on the tundra with his guide for the duration of his hunt this can be arranged. Accommodation while camping will be in a heated canvas wall tent. Please note that while the hunt is listed as six days, return to the community is at the hunter's discretion once an animal is taken. Things that all hunters must be aware of... -Travel to and from Holman is the hunter's responsibility. -All hunting licenses and tags are purchased by the hunter, when he/she gets to Holman. -All food and lodging while in the town of Holman is the hunter's responsibility and can cost as much as three hundred dollars ($300.00) a day (Canadian).

If he/she tags out early, he/she will be brought back to Holman, and will have to pay for food and lodging until the departure of his/her flight. -There is a very good chance the hunter will lose a couple days of his/her hunt to bad weather, equipment breakdowns or both. -A representative from the HTC may meet the hunter at the airport in Holman; The hunter will need to take the taxi from the airport to the hotel ($10.00 per person) and return on your way home. -The hunter will need to have Canadian currency on hand as there are very few places in Holman that accept credit cards. -Trophy fees for muskox are $150.00 per animal.
