Our Message During

COVID-19

We are certainly living in uncertain times, but there are a few things we are certain about.

The Blixt Team

Dear Friends,

 

This seems to be a time of wonder.

 

I wonder what will happen tomorrow?

 

I wonder if someone I know has this crazy virus? Am I next?

 

I wonder how all of our guests, friends, and loved ones are doing?

 

I wonder how this will effect our business, the businesses we depend on, the businesses that support us?

 

Then I am filled with another kind of wonder.

 

What a wonder it is to be safe and fed and held close by family.

 

What a wonder it is to have the resources to keep our team working hard towards our dreams.

 

What a wonder it is to feel the world working to solve a global problem.

We are certainly living in uncertain times. But there are a few things we know today. 

 

We are healthy, holding our family tight. Puzzling, cooking and kitchen dancing.

 

We are trying to do our part not to spread this disease while celebrating our open spaces and big skies. 

 

But we are also working. Our team is hard a work, preparing for the upcoming season.

 

Blixt & Co is in a good position, glad that the season is six months away, to give this crisis time to settle down a bit.

 

We are grateful that we can share the harvest from last season with our community, donating the meat from last year, finding the way to many tables of those in our area.

 

As we are all finding ourselves staying closer to home, we look forward to welcoming guests who would otherwise be traveling internationally, finding Blixt & Co as a good option this year.

 

Our game farmers are hatching eggs and raising birds. They are also working with us to be nimble in these times.

 

Soon we will all be ready to share fresh air, field, and table. To tell the stories of the day and our year. To share burdens, surrenders, triumphs and survival. To share the sporting life.

 

Be well friends and if we can help you please let us know.

Health & Safety

We have always been dedicated to safety for all guests and staff. We are committed to adapting our business and procedures for the 2020 season to reduce the chances to transmission of Covid-19.

 

 

With deep canyons, open meadows, dramatic mountains and sweeping sage hills, the Idaho landscape is spectacular. But also remote. We run our business in an open landscape and most of our days are spent outside in this remote landscape.

 

 

We are a small, family business with the privilege of hosting our guests, and caring for our team. We understand that this health crisis is stressful and we want to provide support, whatever your needs may be.

 

With over a decade of experience, Blixt and Company remains confident in our teams abilities to overcome any challenges we may face. We will get through this with great team work and support from our community.  We stand together, but with six feet apart.  

Customized Guest Experience

We will offer all guests customizable services based on personal preferences. Your hosting team will be in contact to confirm your preferences.

 

For example:

  • Would you like to have a loader or would you prefer to load for yourself?
  • Would you like to use your personal vehicle during your stay, including during the shoot day?
  • Would you like us to clean your guns or would you rather clean them yourself?
  • Would you prefer room service during your stay?

 

 

Preferences like this will be individual, but please know we will work with each guest individually in order to make you as comfortable as possible, while providing the service you expect during your visit to Blixt & Co.

 

 

How we are caring for our team:

  • We have implemented daily sanitation protocols across all facilities and field work.
  • We are operating under CDC recommended social distancing guidelines, ensuring that interactions among team member and between team members can happen at a safe distance.
  • We have asked all team members to cancel nonessential travel (both domestically and internationally).
  • Team members who have jobs based in our office and management departments are encouraged to work from home.
  • We are providing safety products and equipment for our team.
