I'd say a couple hundred dollars for a couple of days/nights if you have a good concession and can providea reasonable chance of an opportunity at a hog.

For example, do you hunt with dogs? Do you have feeders & night lights? Blinds or stands? Before I'd go tohunt anywhere but my home groundsI'd like to have some references. For example, I look at hog hunting in Texas and the only thing that makes me hesitate isgetting ripped off by either the following:
1) no hogs, and haven't been for a whileand the guides know it.
2) penned hogs let loose.
3) owner or guidehas accomplished no preparation, baiting, night lights etc, and still expects acouple of hundred dollars trespass fee for nothing. I'd feel I'd been ripped off; and it's not not nice to anger the man with the shotgun!

We're getting into Prairie Dog season, and I work hard to develop contacts here in SD. When I take someone hunting with me, I know I can deliver a good experience. Some of my ranchers wish a $50 day tresspass fee; and for them I feel it's worth it. They don't poison their Prairie Dogs and they treat them like they are a cash crop.It's worth it, if they have maintained a a good couple of towns to shoot over.

$50 a day;the SD ranchers provide habitat, and can deliver good predictable hunting.Can you do the same? Are you doing something that makes it worth more than $50/day. Tell us about it?
