Thread: Anyone hunted with Alpine Hunting?

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 .

Cheers bunji

Yeah, fair call, I will give Nikki a yell and ask what to expect.

Been watching the weather, still going to be pretty fresh so will go suitably prepared. Spend a lot of time on the mountain so have a lot of extreme weather gear that we can pack in case.

Wife coming along and going to be tagging along on the hunt on one of the days, think she wants to pamper herself the other
Definitely the way to go, more of a luxury getaway without the kids than a hard core hunting trip, that is just the bonus! Looking forward to it, the pictures and videos look amazing.

Will get the mrs to take her good camera for some photography.

Cheers for the feedback, great to know, hopefully I can resist the urge to knock over one of their 450+ sci stags and have to take out another mortgage
