BEFORE YOU BOOK
Good questions.
A better hunt.
The details matter. Use these questions to get a clearer picture of the trip you are considering.
Choosing
your hunt
Explore elk, mule deer, black bear, mountain lion, pronghorn, bighorn sheep and mountain goat hunts in Utah. In Colorado, Black Timber offers mountain lion hunts only. Start with the guided hunts directory, then discuss your preferred dates and the available service with our team.
No. You can begin with planning questions. If you already have a tag, include the full permit or hunt code so the discussion can be specific.
Describe your experience, comfortable pace and any terrain limitations. Get a practical picture of footing, elevation, time on foot and recovery between days.
The practical
arrangements
The written proposal should identify guide ratio, hunt days, access, lodging, meals, transport and retrieval. It should also explain exclusions, costs and the terms for the specific trip.
The animal, permit, timing, access and requested arrangements shape a proposal. Review the full scope rather than comparing a headline price alone.
Include everyone in your party when you inquire. Guide ratio, transport, access and accommodation determine the arrangements for a group.
No. Animals, weather and conditions are part of hunting. Plan for the experience and understand what the guide service includes without treating an outcome as guaranteed.
A CLOSER LOOK
Ask the questions that change your decision.
A general description can help you choose a direction. A specific answer helps you decide whether to book. Ask what the proposed day involves, who guides it and what is included when the fieldwork is over. Questions about walking, access and lodging are not minor details if they affect how you experience the trip.
Keep your permit and party information nearby when you speak with the team. If an answer depends on the actual area or dates, make sure it is resolved in the written proposal. You should understand the full arrangement before comparing options or making travel commitments.
