How much does a thermal hunting hunting trip cost?

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 thermal hunting trip?

The most popular season to go on a thermal hunting trip is spring, and most hunters book their trips 49 days in advance.

    Paul and Eric were awesome! They worked hard to make sure we had a fun, safe and successful hunt. It was exactly the experience my son and I were hoping for. We’ll definitely do it again next time we’re down this way.
