Dos Plumas Hunting Ranch Frequently Asked Questions
What supplies do I need to bring with me when I hunt at your ranch?
You’ll need to bring your weapon of choice and bug repellant, depending on the time of the year. It’s also a good idea to bring brush pants for spotting and stalking. You’ll also need trash bags and coolers to transport your meat, and you may want to bring drinking water. You’ll need to bring your own food and spices. We have a full kitchen available for your use, but we ask that you wash the dishes before you leave. We also provide towels and linens for our guests.

Are there any trophy fees or additional costs that I’m not seeing on your website?
