You must have a minimum of four hunters to book a semi-guided hunt. Typically the outfitter or rancher supplies one guide per three to six hunters. You can hunt on your own, but you'll have a guide or at least a camp chief to point you in the right direction, show you where and how to hunt the specific area, and in many cases to help you pack out your game. Prices vary widely, depending on the quality of the area and whether you'll be hunting a private ranch. We offer the semi-guided hunt for two chief reasons: 1) to keep the cost down, and 2) because some hunters don't want to be "held by the hand" on a hunt, getting more satisfaction of hunting primarily on their own. The pictures on this page are of deer taken on semi-guided and self-guided hunts we have booked. We no longer book self-guided hunts except for large groups (six or more hunters), and then we can find a ranch for you to lease or an outfitter who can pack you into a good area. Call or email us with details on the size of your group, your budget, minimum trophy standards, desired accommodations, etc. Warning: We cannot find a high-success hunt for 30-inch mule deer for $1,500 or even twice that. Semi-guided hunts typically cost $2,000 to $5,000 a person, depending on how much the outfitter pays for his lease and what is provided.
