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 $3,339. The average price for a full day trip rifle hunting is $3,058.

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.

    A group of friends and I went on an iguana hunt with Kassie and Capt Charley in West Palm Beach on Monday 12/23/24. What a great time! They are prompt, helpful, very safety conscious, and fun. We are all experienced hunters and shooters. This was a unique and very fun experience. I can't recommend them enough.

    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!
