RE: big game hunting
Are you asking as a hunt with an outfitter? Or just the hunt?
If it is outfitted whitetail, it is up there pretty high with hunts now in the $4000 range. The least expensive guided or payed hunt, I would think would be wild hog hunts.

RE: big game hunting
Well your question begs a couple of more questions. Do you own a firearm or bow, clothing, boots, etc. If you're just beginning you'll need to acquire some materials. However, hunting can be as inexpensive as a second hand shotgun or rife, a pair of jeans and a positive attitude.

RE: big game hunting
I have all the materials needed other than a few small things that may be needed for certain animals or locations. I'm talking with an outfitter, not just the hunt. Didn't think about hogs, I'm guessing you're right about that though. What about only animals considered big game by pope and young though?

I'm not totally positive but I would think a black bear hunt over bait.
There's no actual guiding other than driving you to a location and telling you to go sit in "X" stand and shoot a big bear and I'll be back at dark to get you.
The outfitter on a bear hunt has to work far less than say a wilderness elk hunt or Alaskan moose or carabou hunt.

If you are planning on next year, and are considering an antelope try Wy. Pm me and I will give you some areas to apply for. There are usually some tags left for this fall but access is some what limited.
