Michigan Trophy Hunts Pricing
Traverse City Hunting and Fishing Expo
March 16-18th, 2007
Guides
Mark, Big Dan, Little Dan, Robb or Jake will help you find the perfect animal!
Fully guided hunts are available (and highly recommended) on higher class deer and elk hunts. These are 1 on 1 hunts. Cost is $100/day plus tips.
On semi guided hunts, our guides will take you out to the blinds, get you in, field dress your animals, get your trophy to our processing plant or load them into your truck for the ride back home. They help in every way possible!
I'm asked continually about how much to tip them ~ all I can say is that they work very long hours to make sure your stay is a hunt of a lifetime! Usually 5% is average but tip according to the amount of work they completed for your hunt!

Russian Boar
Russian boar hunts are $400 ($450 with lodging/food). Groups of eight or more get three days, two nights lodging and food. Less than eight hunters have a two day/one night boar hunt. The boars weigh anywhere from 200-300lbs. You can hunt them by stalking or by stand hunting. We hunt on the whole 500 acres for these. Hunt with any weapon. We have processing right in house or can be taken with you after the hunt. Call to get your group scheduled!!
Buffalo
Buffalo hunts run $1,600 to $1,800 in price, depending on size of the animal. Most of our Buffalo are two to three years old, 800 to 1200 pound females.
Turkey
Spring turkey hunts run from April 23 to May 31. The ranch has a resident population of 200 to 300 birds with some huge toms. This past deer and elk season there were about 40 big gobblers running together and all had at least 8 inch beards and all looked to be over 20 pounds. These are Eastern Turkeys and it should be a blast calling these birds in this spring. We set up three day hunts throughout this time period and can be semi- guided or fully guided, whichever you prefer. $450.00 for the semi guided and $100.00 per day extra for each day that you hunt fully guided.
BYOB
We have a beautiful log home with a hot tub, pool table, and big screen TV. You will definitely not be roughing it!! You may hunt with a rifle, muzzleloader, or bow and arrow. Hunt length depends on number of hunters and time of the year. Food is included. Bring your own beverages. Non-hunters are $100.00 per stay extra to cover our expenses.
