Shoot us a message online or give us a call! Reservations should generally be booked a week or two ahead of time at least to ensure availability, but even if it’s a last minute trip reach out! We may still have an opening or be able to accommodate. We fish 365 days a year!

Yes, you’ll typically need a current, valid, California hunting license. You may need additional documents depending on the type of game you’re hunting (deer tags, pig tags, etc.).

If you’re unsure of what tags you’ll need, give us a call and we can help you make sure you’ve got the necessary documents for your hunt!

Most of our deer hunts are on public and private lands in the C zones of Northern California. For more details on locations and hunt availability, please reach out.

• Early Rifle C Zone - Draw Tag September

• Late Rifle Zone C - Draw Tag G1 November

We have access to exclusive private ranches for some game and hunt on both public and private lands for others, depending on the specific hunt.

Kirk has carefully cultivated relationships with land owners in some of the most breathtaking areas of Northern California, providing unparalleled hunting opportunity for carefully managed wildlife, from deer and pigs to waterfowl and upland game.

Professionally guiding for over 30 years, Kirk knows Northern California and the surrounding areas including Southern Oregon as well as he knows his own back yard. Let him take you on the trip of a lifetime and share with you what these places have to offer!

Hunts require lots of planning, scheduling, and coordination. In most cases, there are no refunds due to the expense of setting everything up.

These types of requests are handled on a case by case basis and we know life happens, but in general we abide by an “all sales are final” policy.

Each situation is unique, but the standard practice in the industry is that a fatally wounded animal will end the hunt. Every effort will be made to track and find a wounded animal and you can rest assured that our guides will continue to look for as long as is reasonable.

These situations are rare and are handled on a case-by-case basis. Feel free to contact us for more information on how we handle this kind of situation!

Kirk has over 30 years experience as a guide and outfitter in the Northern California and Southern Oregon areas! He’s very passionate about the outdoors and loves to share that excitement with others.

He’s been featured in countless outdoor magazines for his outdoorsmanship and expertise, and guides hunting and fishing trips most days of the year.

Master hunters and beginners alike will no doubt glean tips, tricks, and techniques to increase their odds of bagging trophy animals in some of the most beautiful places in Nor Cal and Southern Oregon!

Each hunt is different! The gear that’s provided and the equipment you’ll need to bring depends on which hunt you book and what type of game you’re going after. Waterfowl, pigs, upland game, and guided deer hunts all require a different set of equipment.

Once you’ve decided what hunt you’d like to do, give Kirk a call and he’ll get you lined out on what to bring, what’s already taken care of, and what to expect for that particular adventure!
