TERMS, CONDITIONS and ADDITIONAL HUNT INFORMATION
These are all inclusive prices in U.S. funds with the license and taxes included. The hunts are generally 1 hunter to 1 guide. Call us if you wish to set up a 2 on 1 hunt.

Booking a hunt and payment schedule:
A deposit of 25% of the complete cost is required to book a hunt. An additional 25% is required by January 10 of your hunt year then the final 50% balance is due by August 1. Once a deposit is received by us then a hunt contract will be sent to you to be signed and mailed back. Except for transferring deposits to a friend all deposits are fully non-refundable. The deposits cannot be transferred to a future year.

Flight, pick up and hotel information:
You will have to fly into either Calgary or Medicine Hat airports the saturday before your hunt starts for week long hunts. We will either pick you up from the airport or you can take a shuttle to your hotel. The reason we have you arriving early is it leaves us with enough time to deal with any unforseen problems that may occur with the airlines such as lost luggage.

What We Provide:
We provide all your meals, accommodations, transportation and field care of trophies. We do provide some soft drinks/pop but liquor is not provided. We will stop at a store for you to purchase these items on your way to the lodge.

Additional Hunt Information:
It is your responsibility to make sure you will not be refused entry into Canada. Refusal of entry by Canada Customs and Immigration is not sufficient reason for a refund. If you've ever had any criminal charges, even a D.U.I., you might have difficulty entering Canada and may need to clear it up months beforehand. We can help you to do this. Call if you have questions about it. If you are coming on a rifle hunt then you will need a firearms declaration form to clear your rifle through customs. We will send you one a month or two before your hunt starts. There is a $30 payment at the border to process this form. If you have another hunt planned in Alberta in the same year you can only shoot one animal of each species per year.

Wound Policy
We have a wound policy. That means that if you draw blood on an animal it is up to the guide to decide how much time is spent looking for that animal. Of course we always make every effort to recover any wounded animals and we don't encourage unethical shots.

Extra Costs:
Besides the $30 rifle import form the only other extra costs would be one nights hotel upon arrival and possibly another upon departure depending on when you will be leaving. Meat processing and shipping or extra baggage and any tips for the guide and cook that you feel they deserve (standard total amount is approximately 10% of the hunt cost). We can also arrange taxidermy for our clients.

Getting your antlers, cape and meat home:
The easiest way to get your antlers and cape back home is for us to put the items in a thick cardboard box and for you to take it with you or your flight home. We put garden hose around the antler tips, clean, dry and then tape up the skull plate and we freeze the cape. Frozen meat can also be taken home with you in a cooler. Generally all the meat must be cut by a licensed butcher and you are responsible for paying for the processing. Shipping meat back to your home is another possibility but it is an expensive, complicated and time consuming task.
