In case of rain you may wash off your windshield only. No total vehicle washes, please. Any game killed must be tagged and if placed into walk-in cooler, must be recorded into cold storage book because the game warden does come by.

    In the Field:

    Hunters are responsible for their own transportation to and from the pasture.  4WD is advisable along with tire sealer and plugs. No hunting within site of  HQ and please drive 5 mph or less in HQ area. No alcohol or littering in pasture.  (especially  corn sacks.)Please stay in your area and do not shoot over or cross any fences.

Hunters wounding animals after dark MUST come back to ranch to get one of us.  Location should be flagged and not disturbed. Please do not use toilet paper. Hunters should return to HQ promptly after dark. No one is allowed into the pastures at night during whitetail season unless cleared by ranch rep.

    Pasture assignments: (copy from INFO)
    We have had some complaints from hunters that "favoritism" is going on and we are saving pastures for certain hunters. This is not the case.
    If a hunter get the same pasture as the previous year it is coincidental. All of the pastures are assigned before check-in and in most cases hunters are given the choice of open pastures. All of the areas have excellent hunting and when we are booked (16 hunters) each hunter has an average of 300 acres to themselves. We place hunters in a pasture according to group size and the placement is controlled by the hunting manager.
    We have 7 pastures and they range in size from 250-1619 acres. Once you are assigned a location you cannot jump to a different location without permission from the hunting manager.

     

    Any questions pertaining to game size, weight, quantity or type requirements will be re-emphasized upon arrival.

    YOU MAY BE ASKED TO LEAVE IF ANY OF THESE RULES ARE NOT FOLLOWED AND WILL FORFEIT ALL HUNT MONEY.
