Guided Hunts and Hunting Lodges

[C.O.B.]

Robin while I have not been on a guided bird hunt if you look at the adds in Shooting Sportsman you will find lots of places. They host a Readers and Writers wing shoot at several places each year. These are all commercial outfitters and if you wanted a South Dakota Pheasant hunt for example they have gone to several lodges.

Another idea might be to post your question on their forum as well.

Robin- I have been on many guided hunts, as many of us have I am sure. What I have learned, as late as my archery hunt last year in Idaho for Elk, is that we “should have been here last week”, or “to bad your are not going to be here next week”. I am talking Alaska to Newfoundland, and a lot of ground in between. That being said, I would not have passed on any, oh, maybe one. The lesson is you have to be really careful on guided hunts, and the majority of the many I have been on have been less that steller, and that is not because of opting for "cheap hunts". That does not seem to matter. My best hunts are "do it yourself" hunts, either here in central NH, in Pa archery for deer, or up at camp in Pittsburg, NH. Caveat emptor.
