We recommend our hunters arrive with the best safety and hunting equipment possible. The mountains are steep and rocky. The weather conditions can change rapidly.

The altitude of Utah's mountains can be between 6,000 - 13,000 feet above sea level.

We recommend hunters have a Garmin Rhino 520/530 GPS radio in their equipment with extra batteries. If the hunter does not have a Rhino Radio we recommend the hunter have a Cell Phone or Satelite Phone as well as a GPS Device with extra batteries. It is also a good idea to have a Motorola 1 watt radio with extra batteries

All hunters should have a day backpack equipped with a survival kit and basic first aid supplies. We recommend the Blacks Creek backpacks to our clients. Rain gear is recommended.
