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. whitetail deer, and 5. green-winged teal.

How much does a rifle hunting hunting trip cost?

Prices rifle hunting can range anywhere from about $600 to $7,200, but the average price for a half day trip rifle hunting is $3,304. The average price for a full day trip rifle hunting is $3,106.

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.

    Great experience with Justin. His goal was to put us on the iguanas, changed the start time to make it a better day. We shot 17 iguanas. Awesome captain and super awesome experience. Highly recommend.

    We had a great day with Captain Justin. He communicated clearly well in advance, showed up exactly on time, and keeps his boat and gear in great condition. After a brief safety briefing and a few practice shots, we were off. Justin kept it fun the whole day and best of all, put us on the iguanas. We would do it again. Thanks!

    Charlie was an awesome guide. My group had so much fun. We had a great experience. Would definitely recommend an Iguana excursion with Charlie!

    Trip: Iguana Hunting Insanity

  • ★★★★★
    I go on several fishing and hunting charters a year. This one has me counting the days until we go again. The cast and blast is a perfect split day balance without getting burned out on one species. Justin is an excellent guide with great personality and patience (I’ve found that rare with most captains). Puts us on the game and wife had a great time!

    Jusin was able to put together a great Cast and Blast trip for us.  He does work very hard to put together a good trip.  Fishing for Peacocks, he did make several moves to various spots and successfully put us on fish.  Hunting for iguanas, again he was able to put us on them for a total of 25 iguanas.  Lunch was very good, and along with good weather made for a really good trip, would definitely recommend.

    We could have brought home 50+ iguanas if we could hit the broadside of a barn! These folks will put you in the middle of them, all you need to do is be able to shoot!! This was our first trip ever and our expectations were far exceeded.

    Capt. Rolland was an excellent guide he provided great equipment and education on the iguanas that we hunted. The action was consistent throughout the hunt. Capt. Rolland has an eagle eye to spot the iguana’s which keeps the hunt moving along with good numbers of iguanas.

    Captain Bill is exactly what a guide should be. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable and I felt like I had known him for years. I had two first time hunters with me that had an amazing and safe time. He put us in a game rich environment where we were very successful! Thanks

    Trip: Iguana Hunts Delray Beach

    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
