Is booking a hunting guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a hunting guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced hunting guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is outside every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your backyard, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    The trip was excellent. Kassie was very helpful in finding the iguanas as we had a hard time seeing them in the beginning. She was great with communication before the trip as well. Lots of cold drinks and a great flat bottom boat making it easier to aim and provided a smoother ride. I highly recommend. We will be using her in the future for other trips. Maybe a hog hunt with her next time

    Charlie was a fantastic guide, my buddies and I will definitely contact him again for iguana, Python, or gator hunts. We’re military and got along great with him. Took us to a nice canal, not much water traffic at all, so we were first on the water hunting, not picking up scraps left from other hunters. Went during the summer, which winter is better, but still shot over 20 iguanas. Was a great time, highly recommend Charlie.

    Charlie was ready before our launch time. He runs nice equipment and the guns were on. We went during the heat of the day due to a late flight and saw fewer iguanas than if had we went out first thing in the morning. They were holed up in the shade and hard to spot. There was plenty of wildlife viewing in between shots. Charlie is a very knowledgeable hunter and fisherman that will put out the effort to ensure a great trip. The kids really enjoyed the peacock bass fishing! Definitely returning!

    Captain Roy was fabulous! He put us on the fish, especially Peacock Bass, which we came to Florida to catch, all day! And, he took special care with my grandson to give him professional tips on HOW to catch the fish! We plan to return, and it will be with Captain Roy!

    Captain Roy was amazing in every facet of our trip. He communicated all the pre-trip info, including dropping a pin for the exact location to meet. He knew all the fishing hot spots and we caught quite a lot of fish (mostly peacock bass). He baited out lines and taught us how to flip cast. He is also a great guy with great stories.
