Safety and ethics

Guests must shoot only when safe and appropriate.

If a wounded animal cannot be recovered after reasonable effort, the standard shot fee may apply.

Taking the wrong animal against guide instruction incurs the appropriate shot fee and estate charges.

Serious firearm safety breaches may end the outing.

Payment

Outing fees are paid in advance, online or by bank transfer.

Shot fees and venison are payable on the day unless agreed otherwise.
