Hello everyone, I hope this is the correct area to post my question. If not please point me in the correct direction.

Anyhow, I am currently researching for a white tail or mule deer hunt in either Texas or Oklahoma for 2015. I am new to the idea of going on a
" hunt ". I have always hunted in I guess what can be called the " traditional" way... At the camp, on property here at home we own, with friends, etc. Never gone through the " outfitter " type hunt. So I'm a rookie at the entire idea of hiring a outfitter. I am not looking to kill a trophy, just kill a nice buck make some memories with my family, and if affordable enough do it every other year or so. I'm looking to spend about $2500 ( is this a realistic price?) on the hunt, no including licesne travel etc.

Thanks.
