Your Visit

SELECT YOUR DATES

First things first, confirm your dates. Blixt & Co. works on a return business model, that basically means, once you have secured dates, they are yours from year to year, until you release them. This allows you to plan on the same dates each year. More on How to Book.

SEND YOUR INVITES

Sometimes the hardest part of organizing a shooting trip is managing schedules. Send your invites early. If you are a guest, respond quickly.

GUEST LIST & ITINERARY

The Blixt Team is always available to help you with any planning or questions. Please complete the pre-trip planning forms that provide our team with all of the information we need to ensure you and your guests are comfortable. These forms include your guest list, travel itinerary, guns, and any special needs or requests.

LODGING & HOSPITALITY

Blixt & Co will provide comfortable, elegant hospitality and lodging at our luxury ranch, complete with our private chef and all of the attention to detail you have come to expect. Teton Valley, Idaho boast a rich agricultural history with some of the most stunning views of the Grand Tetons. Visits to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park are easy day trips for those non-shooting guests or for extended travel. The Magnusson family is opening their personal homes for guests.

NON-SHOOTING GUESTS

We encourage non-shooting guests! We are delighted to help plan additional activities for those interested in exploring the area and region. From fly-fishing and art classes to shopping and spas, there is much to see and do.

GETTING HERE

As with all our guests, we gladly provide transportation from our three area airports; Jackson Wyoming, Idaho Falls Idaho and Driggs Idaho. Commercial air service is available from Jackson and Idaho Falls and private and charter air service is available in Driggs.

AIRPORTS

Daily, non-stop air service to Jackson is available from Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver and Salt Lake City and weekly non-stop service from Atlanta, Newark and Dallas.

We also recommend Idaho Falls airport for commercial service, particularly later in the season as the weather is often more stable.

Other Airports:
We highly recommend the airport in Driggs for FPO.

Guns

If you or any of your guests need guns, let us know as we have house guns available. All of our loaders are trained to double gun, so if you would like to shoot a pair, we encourage you to bring them. We have several gauges of ammunition available: 12, 16, 20, 28.

Equipment

We provide gun slips and loading bags, so there is no need to pack these bulky items. Your loader will clean your guns for you every day.

Footwear

Depending on the time of year, footwear will vary. Early season (August-September) is typically dry, although we can get afternoon storms. Late season (October-November) we start to get snow in October and by end of November we can have several inches on the ground. Wellies can be too hot in early season, but helpful in later season. Good, sturdy, comfortable shoes or boots are key to a comfortable day in the field. If you plan to walk up or if you are attending a Rough Shoot, be prepared to walk significant distances, possibly in the snow.

Clothing

We encourage traditional dress, less as a slave to tradition, but most of the gear is incredibly practical. Our only rules about clothing are No jeans, sneakers or camo. More about clothing here.

Bring layers! This is key.

As with footwear, clothing requirements are different as the season progresses. Early season can be VERY warm and we encourage guests to consider the weather. By mid to late October, we are certainly seeing snow. It is better to bring more than less. If you need to send luggage prior to your travel, we can gladly receive your package.

Weather & Remote Location

With deep canyons, open meadows, dramatic mountains and sweeping sage hills, the Idaho landscape is spectacular, but also remote. Most of our days are spent outside, and weather can shift quickly with the season and elevation, so we recommend packing layers regardless of when you visit (see What to Bring). We are a small, family business, and our team plans each day with your group’s comfort and safety in mind.

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.

In the Field

Loaders are with you throughout the day to help with gun handling and safety, and our team plans routes and timing around the day’s weather and terrain. If you or a guest has any health considerations, dietary needs or food allergies, let us know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly, including with our private chef.

Altitude & Terrain

Teton Valley sits above 6,000 feet, which can be a factor for guests coming from lower elevations, especially if walking is involved. Pace yourself on the first day, stay hydrated, and mention any concerns to your host team.
