How much does a big game hunting trip cost?

Prices for big game hunting can range anywhere from about $593 to $11,687, but the average price for a half day trip for big game hunting is $1,527. The average price for a full day trip for big game hunting is $5,570.

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 big game hunting?

The most popular season for big game hunting is winter, and most hunters book their trips 27 days in advance.

    Zack is a consummate professional, with a hometown feel. He was clear and very helpful in preparing us for the hunt. In addition, he placed us in a fantastic location to succeed in our hunt. I will definitely be coming back and also recommending him to our friends and family.
