What to Expect at E3
Hunt Schedule
On Day 1 you can arrivals anytime after 2, and snack will be provided. After you can head to the shooting range, ride the property or cool down in the pool. During this time you will also meet with your guide to discuss your hunt and practice shooting your weapon. Prior to dusk, your guide will take you on your evening hunt. The guide will provide you with the information you need as to score, age, price and the hunter can choose if they would like to harvest the deer or wait. The guide will determine which deer are eligible to be harvested in line with E3's management philosophy. After your hunt you will arrive back to the lodge for appetizers, followed by dinner.
On the following days you will enjoy both a morning and evening hunt, with breakfast, lunch and dinner provided by our staff. Between hunts you can indulge in the many amenities E3 has to offer such as fishing, swimming, or wobble trap.
On the final day of your hunt, similar to the prior days, you will enjoy breakfast and your morning hunt. Sadly, on your return to the lodge, you will need to prepare to leave. We ask that all guests depart by 11am.
