Hunting Guide Directory

Maybe you are new to the old tradition of hunting.  It would make perfect since to hunt with a pro hunting guide.  But maybe you've hunted and fished all your life, and you've got some nice trophies to prove it!  So why should a seasoned hunter with plenty of knowledge and experience hire a pro hunting guide?  And exactly what kinds of services should be expected when you hire a pro hunting guide?  

Let's look at the first question:  Why should an experienced hunter hire a pro hunting guide?  There are actually several very good reasons.  The first reason is to save you valuable time.  If you work hard, like most of us, you don't have time to scout properly and maintain hunting land.  It takes a huge amount of time to track the game and figure out the patterns of the local wildlife.  A pro hunting guide makes it his (or her) business to know about the feeding, bedding, and mating routines of the local game. 

Next is property access.  Every part of the country operates a little differently.  In many areas, private land hunting is preferred because food plots and established game management insure a healthy herd of game with a good buck/doe ratio, insuring the chances of a nice trophy buck.  If you don't have access to private hunting land that has been properly managed, you could gain access by hiring a pro hunting guide or paying to have access to the land for a 'do-it-yourself' type of hunt.  In remote areas, especially out west and in Canada, hunts are on national forests and public land.  A good pro hunting guide will have intimate knowledge of the local game and also have access to hunt in specific game units. 

Also consider hunting equipment.  A pro hunting guide will have expensive equipment including tree stands, safety equipment, ATVs, snowmobiles, boats, walkie-talkies, and all the other things you probably don't care to purchase or have room to store in your garage.  And also, thing about care and training of hunting dogs (if needed).  A lot of time, money and TLC goes into maintaining a professional hunting operation!  

The next good reason is money.  If you are planning a 'hunt-of-a-lifetime', and you are traveling a great distance to hunt a special trophy, or take your son or daughter on their first big hunt, why not use the services of a pro hunting guide who has hunted the area for years.  In today's economy, it costs a lot to travel.  License fees can add up.  It cost money for lodging and meals.  Hunting with a pro hunting guide can make your dollar stretch further and improve your chances of a successful hunt dramatically.  Many of our hunting guides below provide comfortable lodging, delicious meals and assist you in securing hunting licenses and tags.  Also, (almost) all pro hunting guides love what they do and they work hard to provide excellent service and make hunting even more fun and exciting!

As to what kind of services you should expect from your pro guide, that is something you must work out BEFORE the hunt is scheduled.  See our Plan a Hunting Trip page for some helpful advise!
