The place I normally do this is typically no more than $400 a day for 15 birds . Where as a big boxbird shoot in PA or GA or TX might set you back $3k a day if you play all the options .
Thanks for the info. The price of having fun is getting pricey. High end pheasant lodges charge upwards of $2000 per day. And, sheep hunting is crazy expensive---I got my 2 sheep years ago, thank goodness.
At this point in my life, I'm content shooting a bit of trap and sporting clays.
