how much does a blacktail deer hunt cost? would be cool to shoot one of those

[TexZ71]

You know you want to!!!!!!

Turnkey for $7k you may be able to do a bear hunt.

Turnkey for the black bear hunt we do in Quebec is $3250. I have the receipts to show that. You can do a very quality elk for $7k for sure, I just paid for one for my wife 2yrs ago in the Gila

I was adding in airfare, plus taxidermy for a full body mount.

Colombian or Sitka? Both are reasonable except one is cooler climate but a heck of a lot more in travel costs and other logistics. As soon as the herd comes back from the winter kill a couple years ago I'm going to put a group together to go.

Agreed! I was going to try Sitka this year but have hear they haven't recovered yet. I'll do a boat based trip so I can get I some good fishing too.

If anyone is interested in a boat based black bear hunt, those are GREAT and priced under 4k all in. Homer ocean was running a 50% off deal earlier this year. Someone got a steal!

Yukon moose

You aren't touching Yukon moose for 7k

I see your point Kevin, and agree, but considering the fellas budget (7k+) a trip to the other side of the world takes an awful big bite of the pie before he even starts his hunt, and that was my point.

Of course traveling to new surroundings is a big part of the overall experience as are the adventure & camaraderie, no doubt about that. I was just trying to point out a viable option within the hunters said means, that’s all.

I think we all have reservations about big hunts and rightly so, but this operation looks like the real deal. Look on the site yourself, the Rez encompasses 850,000 acres, they have last year’s photos, and the prices & fees are clearly spelled out. Nothing looks fishy to me.

I posted that the hunts ranged from 6-8k; I’m sure the bulls I posted are some of the best that have been taken which of course put them at 8k.

They have a Rez hunt that runs 6-7k; bulls score between 270 & 340 with an average of 328 @ around 80% success.

They also have another hunt on a 14,500 acre high fence place that is 8k with bulls scoring 320-400+ with success rate approaching 90%. Did a majority of the biggest bulls come off this land ....probably so.

Oh I failed to mention the guide fee for the elk hunts runs about 1,200 bucks.

Anyway……Good Luck on your hunt JT whatever you decide upon.

Any time you deal with reservation Indians, go in expecting to get screwed, then be pleasantly surprised if it works out.

For 7k, I would do pronghorn or maybe Nevada mulie.

Caribou rocks for a bowhunter, and you have a chance for wolf, wolverine etc and can fish.

The moose hunts are too expensive at 7k. GOOD elk are too expensive unless you drew and are just paying a guide.

Black bear hunts are in that class. Wolf hunts.... Mountain Lion hunts are right in there.


Lots of options.

I dont want a whitetail. Thats boring.. I have those in my back yard lol

Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way!

I agree with you on this after watching the whole caribou thing play out but will say the Jicarilla seems to have it's stuff together

There are some good moose hunts you can do for 4-5k with good outfitters IF someone is happy with a Canadian moose.

Black bears and mtn lions should be between 3 and 5k unless you're planning of chasing a monster like POW bears or the big Utah lions

You're dead right about they caribou. I keep thinking Jamie and I may plan another hunt for them but a different subspecies. They are made for bowhunting

There's a bunch of us that feel that way

Buddy of mine went on a Quebec Caribou hunt for about $5000 best part once he got there the other hunters in the group preferred to play cards and drink so they let him shoot their tags. He got to take his two plus another 8 and since he shot them all got the pick of horns.
