All,
I was just wondering if some of you can provide some info here. In another post it talked about how inexpensive it was to hunt in Africa.
One respondant said if they had the money they would spend it hunting in the U.S and not go overseas which is what I would love to do as well.
My dream hunt is one for Elk and Mule Deer. I live in TX so there would be travel involved as well as the cost of the hunt.
I want to take my Father-in-law because he is my hunting buddy and I would like to pay for him. I also want to have a legitimate chance to have success. So that means paying for guide service. My father-in-law is getting older and we simply do not have the time nor the money to spend 4-5 years hunting/scouting an area effectively to do this without a guide and everyone I have spoke to that has success says it took them 3-5 years before they found a place where they have success and go back to each year.
I researched all of this this past December and a hunt like I described the cheapest I was quoted was $4500 per hunter but most were around the $6K range per hunter and that did not include travel. So you can see it is getting a little expensive!
So my question is do any of you know of hunts in N. America where you can go on one of these hunts at the price that the Africa hunts are posted at? I have seen some of these for as low as about $4k per person which includes 5 animals. This does not include airfare either so....
Also one of the hold backs to hunting without a quide is you have to enter drawings hoping you are drawn....
Please if someone can provide quality info it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
