3 ½ days. The Silver Hunter hunts the afternoon of his arrival
plus three full days thereafter. |
Number of
Silver Hunts Sold: |
|
The Faith Ranch has sold 7 Silver 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 Silver Hunter’s guide sees a mature buck whose antlers
are less than Bronze class in quality, the guide—at his option—will
ask the Silver 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 Silver Hunter may kill up to two
additional Bronze class bucks, subject to availability. |
| |
A Silver Hunter may also kill feral hogs (but only one boar
and then only if Hunter intends to mount the boar), coyotes,
one bobcat, and two javelina. |
|
$5,500 |
| |
Tipping of guides is expected. A good rule of thumb is to
tip 10% of the price of the hunt ($550 for a Silver 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 thesilver hunt a non-hunting guest fee of $500.00
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 Silver Hunter
will be successful in killing a Silver buck. |
| Working
one’s way up to a Silver Hunt: |
|
Because we sell very few Silver Hunts, a new hunter to the
Faith Ranch guided hunting program will not start out at the
Silver 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). |
