Final Balance
The remaining hunt balance is typically due at least 60 days before arrival unless the signed contract states otherwise.
Trip Insurance
Trip insurance is strongly recommended because deposits and other travel expenses can be non-refundable.
Missoula Pickup
Airport pickup is scheduled at Missoula International Airport the day before the hunt. Plan flights around the confirmed pickup window and allow roughly 1.5 hours between Missoula and the lodge.
Driving In
Hunters driving to camp should confirm arrival and departure times before travel so the lodge and guide team can plan around the hunt schedule.
Guide Ratio
Most hunts are scheduled two clients to one guide unless a one-on-one hunt is arranged. Confirm the ratio and any upgrade cost before booking.
Exact transfer fees, pickup windows and contract payment dates can change. Confirm them with Cody's team before buying flights or sending payment.
After the Harvest
Meat, capes, taxidermy and getting everything home.
Meat Handling
The team field dresses harvested animals and can deliver them to local meat processors. Freezer space is available for meat and capes.
Getting Meat Home
Processed meat can be expensive to ship quickly. Many driving clients transport meat home themselves; local processors can explain timing and shipping options.
Taxidermy & Capes
Antlers and capes can be delivered to a taxidermist by arrangement. Confirm current taxidermy, delivery and storage costs before the hunt.
Guide, Cook & Packer Tips
A 15%–20% guide tip is the customary range listed for the operation. Hunters should also plan gratuities for cooks and packers when applicable.
MOGA
Montana Outfitters & Guides Association
HuntWithCody is connected with Montana's professional outfitter community. A nonresident MOGA client fee may apply; confirm the current amount with the team when booking.
Travel Protection
Protect a non-refundable trip.
Travel and medical coverage can protect deposits and travel costs if an unexpected event interrupts the trip. Choose the insurer and policy that fits your needs.
