Hey that's not fair....I only charge a timmies....and half the time I forget to collect..
Or u could use it to buy more decoy's
there is a guide up in the cornwall area that charges 1200$ for a three day hunt .that gives you a idea what this kind of thing cost to go fully guided .I can agree that if you can hook up with a few guys that are hunting and thy are willing to let a newby join them .150 $ would be a deal .Dutch
10 years ago or so, I was paying $300 for a half day (dawn to noon) for a guided goose hunt (4 guys) at Ingleside. I'd throw in a $100 tip too. You can probably get a hunt in the 100-150 range if you have three or four guys chip in 100-150 each. The guy was a full time goose / turkey guide - that's the only job he had.
If I still had a field avail, I'd take ya.....for free. Good luck pal.
Agreed 100% I have put out time and money scouting, decoys, trailer,blinds, training dogs, attaining fields.....if I'm going and have room and someone wants to just show up and hunt not a problem I would collect why not...and if a newbie he/she would also be the main focus for their safety and the safety of others and for him/her to learn...saying that I am taking out two newbies opening morning free of charge...Every morning I go over safety and shooting lines...its a must!
I am not sure where and how most you guys spend your money and honestly it doesn't not matter to me!
I currently hunt with guides who hunt 6 days a week take minimum of 6 people and shoot their limit every day. Those guys charge $ 80 / person and I am completely happy with my setup and have been hunting with them for over 2 years.
There was a guy of this caliber in Brampton too he just does not hunt anymore this is why I posted.
(AND IMO only newbies go with guides seasoned hunters have their own equipment and resources ...)
I guess most of you are happy spending 400+ on single goose hunt.
