Taking Equity out of Home to Go on Guided Hunts

Anyone with a basic understanding of wealth demographics knows this is simply not happening.

We are only at the tip of the iceberg of the biggest generational wealth transfer the country has ever seen.
Were also well into the curve of the largest reduction in numbers of people hunting this country has ever seen.

You will kill a 200” sheep on your $140 tag before there is any meaningful reduction in sheep hunt pricing.

My favorite was a buddy’s roommate, asked him if he was into hunting, he said “I’m a sheep hunter, don’t care about deer and elk hunting” I asked him how many sheep hunts he has been on, his reply “0”

People laugh, this is HIGHLY RELATABLE. I dont have enough hands to count how many people show up at the indoor 3d shoots of the local archery club, with very expensive archery and optics set ups for shooting 15-35 yards on 3d targets. And many of these guys talk about $20k deer hunts in new zealand, african hunts, caribou hunts in alaska. And they all RUN when anyone brings out a picture of a wyoming hunt they just killed an animal on. Alaska fishing trips combined with multi animal hunts. One guy in particular stands out. He always makes statements about : "his guide charges this much for a caribou" "his guide charges this much for a moose, but throws in a bear tag and some fishing" "his guide charges this much for a sheep" "his guide is this much compared to the price of a particular african hunt in the year 2018". Low and behold, the guy has never actually gone on any of these hunts, even once. He just likes to talk about them like he bought them, without ever actually stating he took them. Ive shown him big horn sheep i have seen while antelope hunting, antelope, elk and deer I have shot here in wyoming. Always told me wyoming is too crowded with too many hunters and none of the animals are big enough for him to shoot. The $20k new zealand deer guy is a real trip. He thinks its too difficult to hunt here in wyoming without a guide, but says if hes going to pay for a guide he might as well do it in new zealand.

Were deffinitely in the phase of "more money than skill" that is going to quickly fade away in the next 10 years.

Your sure right about that. Ive found them. Just need to draw the tag.
Sorry the picture quality is not better. I cane over a ridge and they were 40 yards from me. I wanted to get a cell phone picture and get back behind the ridge before they spooked.

I hope you're right. But spend some time in Texas and I think the "more money than skill" guys are growing exponentially. A giant stock market crash might stabilize prices, but I don't see them ever coming down. Just too many damn people.

A lot of the big money spending on hunting is people in their last few years of hunting, and people who do it because their friends do. When the fads die, things will change a lot. Look at all the other fad recreation hobbies. Number of hunters has been declining since the 1960s. Steep decline since the 90s. Both the actual number of hunters and the percent of the adult population hunting have declined.
