What types of rifle hunting trips are common?

Hog hunting is the most popular type of hunting for rifle hunting as well as alligator hunting, invasive species hunting, and big game hunting.

The most commonly sought after species for rifle hunting are: 1. hog, 2. alligator, 3. iguana, 4. green-winged teal, and 5. gadwall.

How much does a rifle hunting hunting trip cost?

Prices rifle hunting can range anywhere from about $600 to $6,000, but the average price for a half day trip rifle hunting is $3,164. The average price for a full day trip rifle hunting is $2,938.

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 rifle hunting trip?

The most popular season to go on a rifle hunting trip is spring, and most hunters book their trips 42 days in advance.

Recent Reviews of Captain Experiences

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Carlos was awesome! He provided us with a great time on his boat for our iguana hunt. He had a great attitude, was very informative, and had a lot of patience since we were newbs to shooting iguanas. He definitely knows the area and what to do, but most importantly knows how to make the trip memorable. We would for sure book another tour/trip for a different adventure with him if we decide to come back to Florida. Thank you Captain Carlos! You’re the man.

    My family had a fantastic day with Captain Carlos! He was so flexible with us, between adding fishing to our iguana hunt and working around some big storms that rolled in the morning of our hunt. He was great with our kids, knowledgeable, very laid back, and his experience set us up for a great day on the water!

    James C. with Charlie L. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    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.

    Nathan G. with Charlie L. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

    Carlos was an excellent guide. We came back with 14 iguana. He was very patient with the boys and girls. We were celebrating my grandson’s birthday I highly recommend Carlos for your iguana hunting adventures.

    Deborah M. with Carlos I. of Lantana, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Bill took me, my son in law and two grandsons on an iguana hunt. We all had a great time and a fair amount of success under Captain Bills guidance. He was patient and entertaining with an emphasis on safety. Thanks for the good time Captain Bill. It would have been easier for me to find the boat ramp if I had the address rather than a pin.

    Joseph A. with Bill H. of Delray Beach, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great trip with my 2 boys (18 and 21). Have fished with guides all over the US and Justin ranks very highly. Great day fishing in the Everglades with 8 species caught. Had a good lunch and then relocated to hunt in iguanas. Lots of iguanas and a great day of memories. Highly recommend!!

    Glen P. with Justin N. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

    Justin was an awesome captain took his time with me and my son until we got into the flow of things and once all 3 of us were on the same page we harvested a lot of iguanas and had way more than enough opportunities to kill some really big ones as well

    Luke B. with Justin N. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Justin was awesome. He made every effort to make the day a memorable experience for my husband and my sons. They caught lots of fish and thoroughly enjoyed the iguana hunt. The guys also enjoyed a delicious lunch cooked by the captain himself. They look forward to scheduling another trip with Justin and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a fun day of fishing and/or iguana hunting.

    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!

    Ryan . with Charlie L. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Had an absolute blast!!! Justin done a great job putting us on the fish we where after! He's also excellent at spotting the iguanas we where after! Would definitely recommend him as a guide to anyone wanting a lifetime experience!!!!

    Had a great time with Charlie, he put us on some good ones and knocked it off the bucket list highly recommend for iguana hunting or any other service he offers great guy!

    Travis J. with Charlie L. of Fort Lauderdale, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Justin was awesome. Caught 9 different fish species with him during our fishing part of the trip. He knew exactly where to cast,what to cast, and how to work the fishing pole. The hunt part was amazing as well. Got 12 Iguanas, one being around 41 inches. Justin has the best eyes when it comes to spotting them. He’d point one out while going full speed in the boat. it would take us 10-15 second to spot it. If you want to do an iguana hunt in the Fort Lauderdale area, book Justin.
