Big game hunting questions
Don’t see your answer? Call 763-595-5936.
When is big game season?
It depends on the hunt. Red stag in Argentina runs March to April, spring black bear April to June, mountain goat July to October, moose and elk in the fall, and bison December to February. Texas exotics, helicopter hogs and Florida gator are open year-round.
How much does a guided big game hunt cost?
Starting prices range from $1,700 for a Florida gator up to 6 feet (minimum 6 hunters) to $13,000 for a 2-on-1 British Columbia mountain goat. Black bear starts at $3,500, whitetail at $3,450, bison at $4,395, red stag at $7,995 and moose at $9,500.
Can I hunt with a bow?
Yes. Elk hunts are offered for archery, rifle and muzzleloader, with September bow hunts during the pre-rut and rut. Bison can be hunted with a bow, muzzleloader, pistol or rifle (.270 minimum), and Saskatchewan black bears are hunted from tree stands and ground blinds at 20 to 40 yards.
What happens to my meat and trophy?
It varies by hunt. In Alaska, hides and skulls are prepped for taxidermy and you can take up to an extra 100 pounds of meat. Bison processing by our butcher runs $400 to $800 depending on size. In British Columbia, hides are kept in a refrigerated unit and delivered to a taxidermist in Prince George.
Do I need my own tags?
Some hunts include them and some don’t. Florida gator tags come with the package (your hunting license is separate). For New Mexico elk we offer private landowner tags, draw hunts and help with the draw.
