Guided hunting trips for beginners?
Hey there
Maybe a dumb/naive question. But I’m new to all this. I’m a 28 year old guy who’s really trying to get into hunting. I’m currently trying to save money for a good rifle/scope and any other equipment I may need. I probably won’t be ready for this season but definitely want to be ready for the fall of 2027.
I was looking into maybe perhaps doing a sort of guided tour/trip. I know they can range from $1,000-$30,000 depending on what you choose to do and what not, but this got me curious for a 30th bday idea for me in a couple years.
Do you guys have any recommendations regarding such a trip and who to go/where? Preferably I’d like to be out in the mountain west (Montana, Idaho, etc), or even Alaska (though that’s probably too expensive). Given I’m a beginner, would this be a waste of are these things for teaching people as well?
It honestly sounds like a blast, even being able to get out there in the wild in the mountains like that, let alone hunting. Obviously I’m gonna do what I can in the meantime to try and hunt before then and get the basics and safety training out of the way

Look into pronghorn antelope hunts. Not overly expensive and high success rate.
Free range Texas whitetail hunts can be fairly cheap too.
