4 ½ days. The Gold Hunter hunts the afternoon
of his arrival plus four full days thereafter. |
Number of
Gold Hunts Sold: |
|
The Faith Ranch has sold 6 Gold Hunts for the past few deer
seasons. We expect that number to increase as our intensively-managed,
high-fenced operation matures. |
A Guide’s
Choice Buck Possibility: |
|
When a Gold Hunter’s guide sees a mature buck whose antlers
are less than Bronze class in quality, the guide—at his option—will
ask the Gold Hunter to shoot the Guide’s Choice buck. Faith
Ranch does not charge the hunter for a Guide’s Choice Buck. |

For an additional fee, a Gold Hunter may kill up to two additional
Bronze class bucks, subject to availability. |
| |
A Gold Hunter may also kill feral hogs (but only one boar
and then only if the hunter intends to mount the boar), coyotes,
one bobcat, and two javelina. |
| |
$8,000, plus a trophy fee of $500 per antler inch for bucks
that have a gross Boone & Crockett score of 171 and greater. |
| |
Tipping of guides is expected. A good rule of thumb is to
tip 10% of the price of the hunt ($800 for a Gold Hunt) plus
10% of the price of additional Bronze bucks taken. Tips are
an important reason Faith Ranch can attract top quality guides.
Hunters are also encouraged to tip the cooking and cleaning
staff. |

Accommodations at the Faith Ranch are the finest to be found.
The Package hunt facility consists of a newly remodeled kitchen
and dining area where we will provide and prepare all meals
for our hunters, as well as a hunter’s bunkhouse.
The bunkhouse is a 3-room building. Each room is a two bed,
one bathroom design. Therefore, package hunters will be required
to share a room with one other hunter. All beverages, including
alcoholic beverages such as beer, wine and mixed drinks will
also be provided (no alcoholic beverages are permitted while
hunting). To make your stay more pleasurable we should be
advised of any special requirements in advance. |
|
|
Space at the Faith ranch hunting lodge is limited. However,
if space is available hunters are welcome to have non-hunting
guests. During the gold hunt a non-hunting guest fee of $600.00
per person will be charged. Available space for non-hunting
guests must be approved when booking your hunt. |
| |
A wounded deer, determined by any physical evidence that deer
was shot (blood or hair, e.g.), counts as the hunter’s buck. |
| |
Faith Ranch does not guarantee that a Gold Hunter will
be successful in killing a Gold buck. |
| Working
one’s way up to a Gold Hunt: |
|
Because we sell very few Gold Hunts, a new hunter to the Faith
Ranch guided hunting program will not start out at the Gold
Hunt level. Most hunters will have to start out at the Bronze
Hunt Level. There is one significant exception, however: the
corporate group hunt. Faith Ranch will make every effort to
provide one Silver Hunt and one Gold Hunt to a businessman who
purchases an entire group of Bronze Hunts (generally 7 Bronze
Hunts). |
