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.

    We had an epic hunt with Clayton! We got into town late and crashed at his lodge spot in the middle of town. It has everything you need (and nothing you don't) to sleep a big group and we all had a great night's sleep. We were up early and followed Clayton to his tucked away spot. We got settled in the blind and Clayton started calling em in! The season hadn't hit full swing but we managed to bag some nice birds. Clayton's calling came in clutch and his retriever brought home the goods. Super nice guy with hilarious stories for days. 10/10 hunt, can't wait to run it back! – Jonathan with Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    I recently had the pleasure of going on a duck hunting trip with Brandon, and I can't recommend him highly enough! From start to finish, the experience was top-notch, thanks to their exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and professionalism. Right from the initial booking, Brandon was incredibly responsive and accommodating. He took the time to answer all my questions and provided valuable insights about what to expect during the trip. This level of communication made me feel at ease and excited for the adventure ahead. Once we arrived at the hunting location, it was clear that Brandon had put a lot of thought into every aspect of the experience. The equipment was well-maintained, and the setup was efficient and organized. He clearly have a deep knowledge of the area and the best strategies for successful hunting, which added to the overall experience. What truly stood out was this professionalism throughout the trip. Brandon ensured that all safety protocols were followed and took the time to explain the importance of each step. His passion for duck hunting was infectious, and it was evident that they genuinely care about their clients’ enjoyment and success. Overall, if you're looking for an unforgettable duck hunting experience with a guide who prioritizes customer service, attention to detail, and professionalism, look no further than Brandon. I can't wait for my next trip with them!
