Safety on the hunt
Blaze orange, firearms, weather and what happens if someone gets hurt.
Safety on every hunt
Blaze orange required on every rifle and bird hunt
A hat and a vest with at least 400 square inches of orange, front and back (sample rule). We lend both if you forget.
- One guide for every two hunters at most; one to one on archery hunts
- A range check at camp on day one, before anyone hunts
- Every guide carries a radio, a satellite messenger and a first-aid kit
- Firearms unloaded on horseback and in camp, always
- We call off a day for lightning, heavy snow or high wind
Rules at camp and in the field
Every hunter signs these on the first evening (sample).
Blaze orange
Hat and vest, from leaving camp to returning
Firearms

Shooting
Only when your guide agrees the background is safe

If something goes wrong
Every guide is first-aid trained and carries a satellite messenger that can call search and rescue. Camp has a trauma kit, oxygen and a stretcher (sample).
- Your guide always knows where every hunter is
- Lost? Stay put, blow your whistle three times, and wait
- We check the forecast every evening and plan around storms
