Editor's notes
Per the outfitter's site: run by brothers Ryan and Randy Routier on a working cattle ranch near Buffalo, with archery and rifle hunts from spot-and-stalk, tree stands and waterhole blinds. Turkey, prairie dog, predator and bison appear only as contact-form options, so ask what is running this year.
