• Our wilderness camp elk hunts are booked for 1- 3 people. Non-hunting companion fee
is $350 per person, per day. We do not mix hunting parties.
• Most hunts are conducted on horseback from a wilderness camp. Hunts usually involve
several miles of riding in steep, rugged terrain each day. Hunting afoot is also an
inherent aspect of elk hunting. It is very important to be honest about your physical
condition when filling out the guest profile so we can best accommodate your needs.
• For hunting on horseback, we furnish all of the horses, saddles and riding gear.
• All guests, hunting or not, must complete guest profile, liability release statement, and
master guide service contract.

sleeping bag. For packing into the wilderness, all clothing and gear must be packed in
duffle bags (preferably waterproof). Absolutely no suitcases, trunks, etc. Please limit
what you bring to necessities and no big, bulky items.
• All hunts require a 50% deposit at the time of booking, with the balance due upon arrival
at the ranch/base camp. In the event that a client cancels a hunt, 50% of the deposit
will be refunded. All hunts are to be paid in full before the first day of hunting. Hunts must
be booked by July 15.
• Hunters must have hunting license and tag on their person at all times.
• Prunty Ranch Outfitters is not responsible for inclement weather, natural game movement
patterns, shot misses or declined shot opportunities, hunter’s physical condition, personal
emergencies, or hunts that are not completed for any reason.

Hunting has been a part of the Prunty Ranch since the late 1940s, when Shorty Prunty started guiding mule deer hunters as one of the very first licensed master guides in the state of Nevada.
Shorty and Marge raised their sons, Dick and Gary, on the ranch, working alongside the cowboys and haying crews, and helping during hunting season.
Shorty and his sons guided for many years, and in turn, they shared the love of the outdoors and a good adventure with the next generation.
Today, the family remains one of only three outfitting services permitted to guide in the Jarbidge Wilderness area, Nevada hunt area 071 and Nevada hunt area 072 offering:
Unique location & available facilities: The home ranch is ideally situated in the heart of Nevada hunt areas 071 and 072, which have produced a multitude of outstanding big game animals through the years and are often considered “hunt of a lifetime” territory.
Experienced guides & horses: Our guides are horsemen and experienced hunters themselves. They are deeply familiar with the areas we hunt and game movement patterns. Our horses are used for ranch work throughout the year.
Personalized, quality experience: With the outfitting business being only one aspect of the ranch’s operation, we do not operate as an “assembly line outfitting” business and accept only a limited number of clients.
