It was a huge disappointment. All of the material online and what they mailed to us said, "This is a guided hunt...you will meet your guide...etc" I tried to call (left messages) and e-mail them starting about a month out from the season to get more details/clarification and they never responded. When we got there the night before the season opened, we stood in line for about an hour to find out every tag holder for that season was going to one of two areas of the ranch (the others had deep snow or were over-hunted) and there was one "guide" for all 30+ hunters. Opening morning the properties were surrounded and no elk were in either of the areas. When we left two days later, there had been two successful hunters on the "over-hunted" section, which apparently had been re-opened to select few.
The "guide" said she would meet anyone that was interested at the hardware store at a particular time and then never showed up. When I got hold of her on the phone, she said, "I just got busy."
We talked to several of the other hunters and several of them said they had been scouting the property for weeks, which is of course prohibited by the ranch rules because they don't want people out there constantly spooking the elk.
So, the ranch managers lied to everyone (they later said something about the "guided hunt" paperwork was only supposed to go to the few RFW bull tag holders), were non-communicative, were unreliable, and generally seemed to be burned out by that point in the season - I think they had been dealing with hunters (paying customers and RFW tagholders) for what, 4+ months (late Aug to Jan).
I would not recommend that hunt to anyone.
