FAQs
Can I bring my own shotgun?
Yes. We only carry 20 and 12 gauge ammo, so please bring your own ammo if your shotgun requires something different. Firearms will be stored in our secure locker room.
What if I have never shot a shotgun or upland hunted?
Not a problem – our staff will cater to your ability level.
What is the noise level?
Guns are loud, so we require all guests in the field to wear ear protection – either ear plugs or muffs.
Is wearing orange required?
Yes, per our “Hunter Orange” policy (backlink this to the policy), we require each hunter (and anyone else in the field) to wear a minimum of a hat and vest in “hunter orange” to participate in upland hunting. This is non-negotiable for safety concerns. We do have hats and vests available on-site for any guest who needs them.
How safe is it?
As with any shooting activity, risks are involved. We have implemented strict safety rules and guidelines that are enforced by our staff in order to mitigate risk.
Can I bring my own dog?
Our lodge is dog friendly, but please review our “Dogs” Policy before bringing your dog. The price is $250 extra.
Is there an age limit?
