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 upland hunting?

The most popular season for upland hunting is winter, and most hunters book their trips 7 days in advance.

    We had a great three-day upland hunt with Thomas and his team, and it was everything I had hoped for in a true wild bird Kansas experience. We hunted with a large group, and each morning started off right with breakfast waiting for us before heading out to the fields. Thomas ran two well-trained Vizslas that were an absolute pleasure to watch work. They were disciplined, covered ground efficiently, and consistently put us on birds. He was also kind enough to let me bring my Brittany along, and all three dogs worked together seamlessly in the field. Over the course of the trip, we got into a great number of pheasants across multiple fields and also located several coveys of quail. I hope to share a field with them again in the near future.
