There are some tremendous bulls in the area. A hunter willing to put in the time and hunt hard should have a good chance at a mature bull. This camp often takes bulls that score 350″ or more. These hunts are conducted as a 2:1. Option to upgrade to a 1:1 hunt for an additional charge. Hunters stay in 14'x16' wall tents. The tents all have wood floors and wood stoves for heat.
