| WHERE? | We've put together a separate page with all of the travel and location info including interactive driving maps and airport information. | |
| PETS? | This venue is an exotic animal ranch which remains in a semi-quarantine nature to protect from diseases and parasites, etc. The "no pets" policy is a requirement of the folks allowing us access to the site. Please honor their rules and do NOT bring any pets of any sort onto the property. | |
| ATV/motorized transport use? | We were overwhelmed with too many ATVs last year. Only official use of ATVs will be allowed. If you are mobility impaired please contact Rick via email and we will make arrangements. | |
| Accommodations | We have a separate page detailing the options for room and board.(Hotels, etc.) | |
| Prepare For This | WARNING The field has been altered to be more exciting and will have fewer if any plain old flat targets. Wear ankle supporting hiking shoes and be prepared for a walk of 1.1 miles for the course. Get some exercise in early and walk some stairs or hills if possible. The course is challenging and more so than in previous years. |
|
| SHUT THE GATE PLEASE | It is a rule in Texas, when you enter someone's ranch you must be sure to close the gate and NOT let any livestock get out. The gate is automated, but please remain at the gate until it closes to insure no exotic game sneak out. | |
