| Pack in hunters will be limited to 1 sleeping bag, 1
bow, 1 hard arrow case, 1 day pack, 1 army style duffel bag
weighing not more than 55 lbs. NO OVER SIZE BAGS WILL BE PACKED IN.
All bows will be carried in scabbards on your horse( hard bow case will
not be packed in). These limitations must be followed. You will find
that through careful packing you can bring everything you need and then
some. If you have any questions regarding this please feel free to call.
If you drive, save room to bring your meat and trophies home, because
shipping costs can run as much as $2 a pound, Keep in mind, having your
game processed will cost you about 45¢ a pound. We also work with an
excellent taxidermist to whom your trophy can be delivered.
Get in Shape! If you aren't now, try to get in good
physical condition. The altitude and the demanding country will run you
down fast. Nothing ruins a hunt faster than being out of shape. Walk up
and down the stairs, take long walks with your day pack and hunting
boots on. This will prepare your feet, back, and shoulders for exertions
that you don't experience on a day to day basis.
Weather; You should plan for all kinds of weather.
It can be 70° one hour and snowing the next. Mornings and evenings are
generally cold, so dressing in layers is important. October weather in
the high country is very unsettled with rain and snow showers being
common. If you would like recommendations on clothing feel free to call.
Your day pack should include at least the items mentioned above in case
you are forced to spend the night away from camp.. |
