Dang near anything you do with an outfitter is expensive--but, they gotta' eat too. I get to talk to a lot of folks, and get lucky here and there. Our game warden host in SC is as good or better than a guide--he's got plenty of experience with moving (and dispatching) gators and knows where they stay (and won't charge us). I love this sport!

I fully understand that. But...$3,000-4,500 for a thee day hunt? I saw one that was $1,800 for one day.

I guess I just didn't expect them to be as much asa guidedAlaskan Moose hunt.

IMO you're lucky doing it the way you're doing it. Let me know if you have any drop outs.

Ouch.........guess some of them like to eat really well! 'Course if they have prime spots to "trophy" animals, they get to charge pretty much what they want. A local guy here (multi-millionaire) is going to spend a small fortune on a black bear hunt, this fall I think. Seems like when it's all said and done it's going to cost around $12,000 to $15,000. The catch is he wants to kill the new world record, and to get into that level he has to pay through the nose.

I'm gonna' be tickled pink if I get an 8-9 foot gator--don't care about scores.

Bob, I'm one of the luckiest people on the face of the planet--got a great family, I love what I do, and it opens doors that otherwise I'd never even know about. Can't ask for much more than that!
