$150 a day keeps unlicensed (most of Ontario guides) hacks in business. You pay them to go hunting, but they are already going...

Hey that's not fair....I only charge a timmies....and half the time I forget to collect..

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.

unfortunately Jay most of the established Ontario Waterfowl Outfitters have been petitioning the MNR for years to put regulations such as the Western Provinces have in place in regards to outfitting but the government has no interest in doing so.

If I still had a field avail, I'd take ya.....for free. Good luck pal.

IMO this is more than reasonable for a hunt if a group of guys were already going hunting and didn't mind having an extra guy (new guy) along for the hunt....
Personally, I would have a hard time taking the money in a situation like that, but then again, If I did do it, it wouldn't be for the money..

Best of luck....

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.

$$$=decoys, ammo, blinds various hunting items

as far as $400 per day not in a million years.....not to often we don't shoot limits...

That is exactly my point 300 - 450 is what a regular licensed outfitter charges. So 150 x 6 is still pretty reasonable if you ask me
