It's 2025, where are the most affordable guided hunts domestic and abroad?

[medvedyt]

Not that I am aware of here in Canada, utilizing an outfitter/guide is mandatory for hunting big game outside of your home province.

here we can do the special guiding except for grizzly lol ...

Africahunting.com is a good forum. It’s similar to this one. If you post what you are looking for the outfitters will come to you.
Also, I hunted with Ken Moody Safaris for buffalo as well as plains game and would recommend them without reservation. I think they are hunting Zimbabwe now.

for chamois which will be certainly the less expensive hunt you can find in the mountains will look up for france for the alps one and pyrenees isard certainly less expensive than romania even if trophy are smaller.

Thats wasn’t what I found. Romania was the cheapest chamois hunt I found. I’d love to do France or Spain for the same price. Send me recommendations for outfitters if you have them.

how much have you been offered for chamois carpathian one?

 

[medvedyt]

i can find from 2500 to 3500 for 3 days of hunt and silver medal the gold will be higher but i doubt a lot are offered on the gold side due to hunting pressure in the previous years and wold predations. so silver is still a good goal.

$3500 any size. Another offer was $3000 but then a trophy free per cm above silver. The one i went with is. A little more but includes an extra day in Bucharest (I’ve never been) and trophy export handling and fees.

I haven’t found anything in the Pyrenees for less than $5000 so would love to find out what outfitter you’re getting that offer from. I would love to hunt that area.

I’d really like to combine several species into a single hunt if I’m going to make the trip to Europe. For example

Ibex - Chamois - Mouflon

Stag - Mouflon - Boar

 

[medvedyt]

Please do.

Are we not a community here? The amount of people on this forum will not drastically change the economy of any of these these hunts if they like me, are looking for a deal.

The number one upward pressure on all of the mountain game and big game at large throughout North America is how high sheep prices have become.

I am pretty technologically challenged and by no means know how individual people algorithms work but I just typed in "affordable guided hunts" into the google search bar and this thread is the 5th item that pops up. Not saying you did anything wrong by asking this question here but I would leave specific hunt information to PMs and places that the general public cant find with a simple google search.

 

[Northern Safari]

i feel like that’s the whole purpose of this forum, to share everyone’s knowledge and experience on these subjects.

Google only gets you so far.

Those that partake in guided hunts are a very small subset of the hunting community, the Rokslide members even a smaller slice of that.

It’s not like I’m requesting GPS coordinates to everyone’s most productive honey holes.

Just looking for guided hunts that don’t require you to be a anesthesiologist to afford.

SA plains game.

But others are correct. Your thread is shooting yourself in the foot.

 

[MallardSX2]

Following but when somebody says a hunting trip at $15,000 is “affordable” I can’t help but laugh.

Affordable in the sense that you can save that amount within a reasonable amount of time.

I’ve been receiving quotes for NA big game hunts in the range of $40,000 for grizzly, $50,000 for caribou or moose (CAD).

Double that for sheep.

15-20k is a little more obtainable.

It's just that it's drawing attention to the fact that things are affordable.

Just like forums and threads draw attention to elk populations that are doing well.
Areas where pronghorn are doing well.

It just makes it harder for the guys that have figured it out.
Most things hunting you shouldn't just have to hit the easy button.

Sounds like I need to make some friends in the Yukon!

 

[WCB]

Be careful with any European hunt...You will see prices like "X species up to X size for $5000" but normally ontop of that price you are paying a 15-21% tax on top of the hunt price. Even when bidding on auction hunts read the fine print and see what is or isn't included and if any mandatory costs are associated.

For Africa...100% look at hunting/conservation auctions...

 

[MuleyFever]

Comparing posting a spot that is free to hunt with a license to posting a $10-15k hunt is laughable. Especially considering those hunts are literally advertised on the internet.
