If you are rifle hunting, you can wear camo or dark clothing as we will be in an enclosed dark stand. For bow hunters it would be recommended to wear camo boots, pants, jackets, and hats.
You can bring whatever weapon you choose for your hunt whether it would be a bow, crossbow, rifle, shotgun, pistol. We cater to all hunting techniques.
For rifle we recommend using a 308 caliber rifle or larger. By having your weapon sighted in before you get here will save you time during your stay. We will just have you fire a shot or two at our range to make sure your weapon is still zeroed in from your trip to our lodge. A good pair of binoculars and some rain gear can also come in handy during your hunt. (See the weather predictions below)
If you are looking to take your trophy home with you, plan on bringing the appropriate size cooler to carry the meat.
