Breakfast is at 8:30am. We will depart for the shooting range at approximately 9:00am. We require each hunter to shoot their weapon of choice at least once, prior to the hunt, to insure that nothing got bumped on the trip in.

It is important to have the proper clothing and gear prior to arrival. Clothes, Guns, Shells, Bow, Arrows, Broadheads (No Expandables), etc. See Gear List.

Please practice with your weapon of choice prior to arrival. We owe it to the animal to humanely harvest it. If using a Primitive Weapon (Bow, Crossbow, Muzzleloader, 45.70, etc), it is suggested that you bring rifle, .270 or larger, to finish the animal.

If you want our butcher to process the meat, please let us know long before you arrive as we will need to make an appointment with them. If you want us to skin the buffalo, the charge is $150.

• Lunch will be in the field/vehicle and will be sandwiches.
• Supper will be at the lodge and served at approximately 6PM.
• Plan for very cold weather as well as snow. If there is snow, please be prepared for a strenuous walk. We do have side by sides with tracks so please let us know if you have physical issues and need them.
• If you have physical issues, and can’t walk, a primitive weapon may not be a good choice.
• Please research shot placement on a Buffalo prior to arrival.
• If transporting meat home by vehicle, you can bring coolers if you would like but all the meat will be in boxes. It is normally cold enough to travel without coolers unless traveling to a warmer climate. We are not responsible for spoiled meat or shipping of the meat.

• Warm Clothes. We suggest layering as the weather can change very quickly. Kuiu makes lightweight, high quality hunting gear that won’t break the bank.
• Orange clothing is not required.
• If there is snow on the ground, please bring white coverups. A white sweatshirt is sufficient but make sure it is big enough to fit over your cold weather gear.
• Warm Boots are suggested. Lacrosse Alpha Burly (800 grams minimum) is a great boot. Waterproof and tall enough to where they won’t let snow in.
• A good pair of socks is a good option. Heavy wool socks work great.
• Boot Gaiters are suggested if we have snow.

• Long underwear/base layers are definitely a must have.
• We would suggest bring Hot Hands Hand Warmers.
• Windproof clothing is also highly suggested. Kuiu Kenai and Kenai Ultra Jackets are very lightweight and windproof. These jackets are good underlayers. You will likely want an outer shell as well.
• Neck Gaiter, Face Mask, Stocking Cap
• Warm gloves along with a thin pair for underneath the thicker gloves.

• Bring a minimum of 20 shells for your rifle. Please buy good bullets.
• Sling for your gun.
• Bowhunters should be proficient to 50 yards.
• No expandable broadheads can be used. Must be cut on contact/fixed blade.
