FAQS
We recommend bringing your own weapons and ammunition, but if this isn’t possible, rifles (30-06, 300 Win) are available for hire at $25 per day.
Plains Game Species
Hunting plains game often requires long-range shots of up to 300 yards. We suggest a calibre between .270 and .300, paired with a reliable variable scope and high-quality soft-point ammunition, such as Federal Premium or Swift A-Frame, for optimal trajectory and performance.
Big Game Species
By law, a minimum calibre of .375 is required for big game hunting. We recommend using only premium-quality ammunition, such as Swift A-Frame, Barnes, or Federal, to ensure reliability and effectiveness.
