Cancellation Policy:
You will be financially responsible for every day of hunting you book as well as for the original number of shooters in your party. If you book five days and hunt only three, you are still responsible for those two additional days. Additionally, if you book five hunters and bring two, you are responsible for the three additional hunters. The reason for this is simple. Because most hunts are booked 6-12 months in advance, I will have to turn down many people who want to hunt the same dates as your group. If you decide to leave early or members of your party don’t show up, there is no way I can rebook those dates on short notice and recover the lost revenue. When you book a hunt I am reserving those dates for you and I expect you to honor your agreement.
Licenses: September dove hunt
We are situated right on the Kansas/Colorado border. Kansas requires a small game license to hunt prairie dogs but Colorado does not. For the 2012 season the majority of our hunting will be done on the Colorado side of the border but we will also have some property in Kansas. If you opt not to buy a Kansas license you will be able to hunt only the Colorado properties, whereas a Kansas small game license will get you access to all of our properties. We will be hunting entirely on private property. Dove hunts also require a Kansas small game license and a $3 HIP stamp. The license cost is about $72 and can be procured online or locally when you arrive.
When to hunt:Prairie dogs can be hunted year round with good success. As long as the sun is shining with relatively warm temperatures (anything above 60 degrees) there will be plenty of prairie dogs out feeding. We get over 300 days of sun every year making almost every day a good day to shoot dogs. We consider peak season to be April-June and Sept-Oct simply because this is when most people book. However, we have many warm sunny days well before and after those dates that produce excellent shooting, so come whenever it suites your schedule. Hunters in September and October enjoy some of the best weather of the year and dove season is also on in September. We can hunt doves in the morning and evening with prairie dog shooting during the day. It makes for a good deal of trigger time packed into one day.
Prices:
The per day rate is $150 per shooter. We also offer lodging at $30/night/man in our apartment, which sleeps four, or $50/night/man in our 1,800 sq. ft. luxury loft which sleeps eight. For amenities of both facilities see the "accomodations" page.
The minimum group size to book is two. Shooting tables will be provided upon request and are subject to availability. Guides will be available by reservation only from May 20 - August 20. All other hunts will be self-guided. We also offer a combo hunt in September with doves in the morning and evening and prairie dogs during the day. The combo hunt incurs an additional $50 fee. There is a fee of only $50 per night for non-shooting members of your party and children under 12 are free.
Payment:
A 50%, non-refundable deposit is required to hold your dates when you book and your balance is due upon arrival. Cash, money orders and checks (personal checks are fine) are accepted. Please make checks payable to Rebel Ridge Outfitters.
Check the extended forcast periodically before your scheduled trip to Syracuse. If it looks like inclement weather is expected during your trip give me a call and I will be happy to reschedule your group for a later date.
