swap hunts are awesome. for sure the way to go.

i have done lots of them, and fortunatley had only great experiences. had 4 hunters come out here this year on swaps, one archery and 3 rifle. all 4 filled both antelope and muley tags, with all 4 antelope going on the wall, the archery buck was a 14 incher! 2 of the muleys were 22+ and are going on the wall, with a couple smaller bucks to boot. will try to post some pics if i can figure out that photo bucket site.

how to do it? easy, just find someone who is interested in what your offering and has something you want in return. i personally treat it like im booking a guided hunt and ask a ton of questions. they will have a lot of questions for you too. answer them honestly so theres no surprises later. when i have a hunter here, i am up an hour before them cooking breakfast and making coffee, so when i get them up and they get a shower, its ready and on the table for them. i take them to my prime spots. i hunt with them exactly as i would if i were alone myself. its hard to take someone to your honeyhole, buti expect the same in return on their end. i establish this long before either hunt takes place, making sure to be clear on what im wanting in return for my efforts. i try to cook ahead for lunch and supper, or cook when we get back. i put them up in my home. basically, i try to be better than any local guide. so far, over 3 years we are 100 percent on all tags on all species. lotsa luck so far

shato, give it a try. you can pm me or ask on here if you have any other questions, i will try to help ya out. for sure try this, there is a lot to gain out there.
do be careful though, i have a buddy that got burned on one of these, so like anything there are liars out there
good luck
