Sunday · Bison

Guests arrive through the afternoon and settle into their tents. Before dinner, we head out with Swarovski binoculars for a first look at the ridges and draws around camp. Dinner is bison, a nod to the animal that fed people on this continent long before cattle, with conversation about nomadic cultures and how the great herds of ungulates once moved.

Monday · Beef

A morning ride on the ranch horses takes us into the cattle operation, where the ranch team talks through rotational grazing and what it does for the land. That afternoon, we cook Ranchlands beef.

Tuesday · Trout

The morning is spent on the water with fly rods, while the afternoon is spent with spotting scopes and instructions in journaling. That evening, trout is served for dinner.

Wednesday · Game Birds

The morning is spent on the clay range, and the afternoon shooting rifles with Swarovski Optik staff and their long-range optics. Later, Josh will work his dogs and show how pointers and flushers find a covey of chukar. We finish back in the kitchen, cooking birds together.

Thursday · Elk

A full morning on horseback, with spotting scopes along, looking for the ranch's elk herd. In the late afternoon, we cook elk for the biggest dinner of the week, with talk of how herds move today and what it means to hunt them well.

Friday · Departure

Breakfast together before goodbyes.
