honestly I have only used a outfitter when legally it was needed and that was in Canada, as a non resident
other wise I have never paid for a guide to take me hunting,
most every state(not all)
have a LOT of public lands
and I would bet 90% of folks that don;'t own there own, tend to use it, OR they hunt off friends lands they have permission on!

Yes there are a LOT of outfitters out there, but the percentage of hunters to outfitters, is SMALL
Most cannot or will not PAY what most outfitters charge
when you do the math, an outfitter is a costly adventure, all the more so if your looking for meat, a fully guided hunt can cost a lot of money, making the price per LB of meat CRAZY costly!

there is NO standard price for a outfitter either, as a lot depends on what they offer, Location, STATE /providence/country,how much land they have, quality of land, reputation, clientele they have, and a LOT of other variables, like success rates, quality of game taken and so on.
an example, a outfitter for a whitetail deer hunting in say PA< can get maybe 1500( Or more or even less) for a weeks hunt, and one in a say Texas can get 10 grand (or more , or less too)
and thats a HUGE Difference in per day costs?

SO< species is a big part of things, HOW hard it is to draw a tag

a high end hard to draw sheep hunt can run 100 grand, and talk about PER day cost?? LOL
NUTS

SO< maybe you should ask, based more on where and WHAT your hunting, and weapon type too, as that matters also??
and se what others in your area and after like game pay? if you want to know if you got a deal or not
