The hunts are 3 days;1x1 unless there's a group of 3 or more the days will most likely be extended to 5. Only 2 hunters at a time. You can hunt with any weapon and choose any 3 days however, the last 2 weeks of September and first week of October will most likely guarantee no broken horns!

High fence hunts are just not my thing but I have to say that I really appreciate the honesty in your advertising and proactively mentioning it.

Bump for HONEST advertising, it seems like its pretty damn tough to find in this industry these days

Thanks drummondlindsey- appreciate your appreciation Smiler
Kelly (Jim's wife) here. I have honestly felt that way myself, but I'm thinking that if I can't get it done next fall I might just buy one myself! Troy (the manager) says it's not a cake walk. They put 5 cows in there last year and haven't been able to find them, so there is plenty of space for the elk to hide.
