Capping

Cappers are non-member guests of the hunt. We love having guests join us for roading and hunting. If you are new to hunting, you may want to review our Learn About Foxhunting page.

You may cap up to 5 fall hunts per year. Fall hunt capping fees may be applied to membership dues (what a deal!). Please know that capping as a guest of a patron member (whose membership pays for your capping) counts towards your 5 cap limit.

You may cap all Spring Roading outings without limit. Capping Spring Roading outings will not count towards your capping limit and these fees are not applied towards membership dues.

2024 Capping Fees

$25 – Spring Roading (May-June)
$70 – Fall Informal and Formal Seasons (Aug – Nov)
$20 – Juniors (25 years old and younger) All Seasons

24-Hours Before Hunting…
We respectfully ask our guests to complete the following at least 24 hours before attending the hunt. Please know that you only need to complete our release form need once per year.
