Spudattack I have not hunted there but l have been there probably a dozen times since they kicked off in the early 90's ,as someone who has guided the best thing anyone in your situation can do is ask THEM ,they are the ones who know what current conditions ,game & weather are on the ground & how YOU can make the most of the experience.
Having said that being a "Game Ranch" as long as they are notified of what you are intending to use ,hunts will be incorporated around it. Our farm is not that far away from them & we have been copping good old arctic blasts, of lazy wind that goes through you rather than around , with some hail thrown in for good measure yesterday while we were in the hills , so hunting in the gullies/sheltered parts with your 08 will most likely be a productive option,hopefully it will blow out before you get down here, so check weather & take appropriate clothing.
Is your missus going to?? that IMO is the best value from these types of "Ranches" & the lodge is a great set up that pampers non hunters ,the food served up is fantastic & it makes the usual hunt cost more reasonable .I take it you are doing a meat hunt & if so make sure you take a good Chilly Bin with you,personally l would be taking one of the great conditioned Fallow out of their herd for the HQ meat it will provide after they properly butcher & pack it for you.
So IMO as with any guided hunt best bet is talk to them well in advance ,let them know what you would like to experience & bring on your hunt & see what they can do & recommend with current conditions on the ground .Take a good camera as you will see some 'monster' heads of all sorts & personally l would get the meat hunt wrapped up quickly & use the rest of the time getting some great pics of the weird & wonderful heads of all sorts they carry on the 'ranch'.
Have a great trip & adding more great memories carrying the 08 & make sure you leave plenty of room for the great feed at the lodge .
