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.
What month is best for going on a calling trip?
The most popular season to go on a calling trip is winter, and most hunters book their trips 82 days in advance.

This was such a great experience! My guide was awesome and taught me so much!

Trip: Turkey Hunt In Darien
Captain Chris and his guide Clint were exceptional. The experience was top notch. Every detail of each of our desires was taken to heart and they delivered to create a memorable hunt. With that being said, he even asked if there was anything that would help to improve the time we were there. WELL DONE! Chris

Trip: Turkey Hunt In Darien
We had an epic cast n blast with Chase. Chase sets up mobile duck blinds so you can set up right where the birds are vs hoping they fly to your one blind. We cruised around, found the birds, and set up our blind for an evening hunt. Then we waded the flats and caught literally hundreds of redfish with plenty of keepers. We got back into the blind and saw thousands of ducks across the way from us on the water, but they never flew our way. All in all, 10/10 day seeing tons of ducks and catching a mess of fish. Thanks Chase, will be back!

Had an amazing trip with Leaf and his son. They are very knowledgeable of the Rockport area, and were great guides for a duck hunt with 5 guys. Prompt communication and very friendly. We'll be back for sure.

Trip: Rockport Duck Slam
Great time out with Capt. Phil. First time ever waterfowl hunting and shooting a shot gun at anything other then a clay and he made the whole process seamless for me. Answered all my questions, showed me the ropes and was very patient with some circumstances that were handed our way. We still ended up getting limit on some divers. Can’t wait for next trip
