Did you guys find on state land or a reserve or what? If so what was the price and where?
We hunted on a private reserve near Crossville Tn.Our rate was 500$ for three days lodging, two days hunting,including one catored diner, andone hog. However, I believe the price is normally 600$ and does does not include the prime rib diner.
Usually the first day is spent stalking.On thesecond day the guides will provide dogs for those that may wish to hunt with them. As this is a preserve hunt it is also a guarented hunt, meaning no kill/no pay. Basically, anyone that can follow the dogs will get an opportunity to take an animal. If a hunter decides not to take an animal despite having had a legitimate chance to do sothen they are expected to pay a 100$ a day guide fee.
Our group consisted of 18 very seasoned hunters, all of which ownand shoot a variety of muzzleloaders. For us this is much more a weekend of fun and friendship than strictly a hunt. The abiliity to hunt at a relaxed paced was welcome by all. This is not by any means a hardcore hunt, and is actually best suited to a group of hunters or largefamilies.
