Do you ever go on outfitted hunts?

Have you ever in the past or will you in the future go on outfitted hunts?

More than one poll answer is possible in this poll.

I'd like to but probably won't get it put together. I'm younger with a young family. I just feel like if I did it, it wouldn't be fair. It's not something we can all do.

I hope to be able to afford to go with an outfitter in the future but even if I can scrape up enough money then I would feel guilty with leaving the rest of my family behind, kind of selfish .maybe I'll just take them with me to some public land in Colorado instead

Yep, going on one next week. For some of us in flatlanders, it makes sense to try and hunt with someone that already knows the area. If I lived out west, I would have my own horse and gear and do it on my own, and spent my spare time in the off months learning the areas I wanted to hunt, and go camping.That would be the life.

We did a Caribou hunt once, not Guided, just had Camp Tenders.
Semi- Outfitted. Would love to some day, A full Guided hunt would be great.
My Grandad told me not to wait too long, his health stopped him from doing it by the time he was able to afford it.

Jmason; hang in there, your young, you'll make it. You'll be surprised how fast your family will grow up...Lots of time.

I am not a US citizen, so for some of the trips I have plans, I necessarily need an outfitter. Just have to work a lot and save enough to be able to make them!!! There is where the problem begins, but as passionate as I am about hunting, I will invest time and money in good hunting trips: interested in elk, antelope, moose, mule deer, grizzly, caribou, sheep, at least one of them in a lifetime, at least those are the dreams and that is for free.

Just hope God lets me do them, but they are a priority of things to do in my life so just have to work for it.

I would love to. Does anyone what a week long guided trip to NZ for Stag would run? Can you bring your own tools?
