PREPARE TO GO HUNTING
PHYSICAL CONDITIONING Wyoming and Montana’s diverse terrain provides scenic beauty but can test one’s physical abilities. Horses and 4x4 vehicles are used to cover the country, but walking is involved on all SNS hunts. The hunter who has prepared him or herself physically has the edge on scoring a trophy. To make your evenings a time to relax and enjoy your vacation, rather than nursing sore muscles, we suggest you prepare yourself physically for your hunting experience. An exercise program initiated before your hunt will help you considerable while you are on your hunt. Horse hunters (Hunts 3 & 7) are advised to go riding at least twice shortly before the beginning of your hunting trip and deer hunters on Hunt #7 are advised especially to undertake a conditioning program well ahead of your hunt. SHOOTING PRACTICE & SKILLS One of the most important factors to a successful hunt is your ability to shoot well. Start far in advance of your hunt by carefully practicing sighting with your rifle. Then try shooting from a sitting, laying down and offhand shooting position. Shoot 100-200 rounds of ammo at distances of 50-350 yards. We recommend a flat shooting 6x or better scoped .243 or larger caliber bolt action rifle sighted dead on at 200 yards. We also encourage the use of Harris Bi-Pods or shooting sticks. If you purchase a Bi-Pod, be sure to get the type that extend far enough to use from a sitting positions. Bi-Pods will not fit in the rifle scabbards used on horseback hunts. Your shooting ability is totally up to you to judge and improve. Lots of practice with good equipment can tip the scale in your favor during your hunt. Remember there are no shooting benches out in the field on your hunt, so make sure you build in time to practice before you get out there. HUNTING GEAR & EQUIPMENT PACKING LIST Below are our recommendations for a typical 5 day hunting trip. On more lengthy hunts, add a change of clothing for additional comfort. Special attention should be paid to outerwear. These should be a noiseless as possible so please leave clothing made with nylon material at home. Weather is unpredictable and can range from snow and 0 degrees F up to 70 degrees F, so best to be prepared for anything. Please confine personal items to two medium-sized duffel bags and one gun case. This is especially important on wilderness camp hunts.
In order to ensure quality hunting, we carefully regulate the number of does we harvest on our hunting leases. If you desire to harvest a doe on your hunt, please ask about the availability when you book your hunt with us. A guide fee will be charged by SNS on all doe hunts.
