Need input: what would you pay to hunt?

One thing you need to think about as well is occasionally resting stand and/or blind sites.Hunting an area too much can cause the deer to become leery and not show up or show up after dark when they couldnt be hunted.I am sure you want your hunters to have a good experience,see and get shots at game.In that situation I woild think you would want to rotate how often an area would be hunted.Of course this scenario would also be affected by wind conditions, etc.Just something else for you to keep in mind when organizing your hunts.$100 a day is a fair price if hunters see game and also occasionally get shots.If the area becomes overhunted and game is rarely spotted and hunters dont get shots then $100 a day would be too much.I would try to showcase a quality hunt over getting too many hunters in an area.That way as word spreads and people have a good experience you would be able to raise your prices occasionally.

That's a very reasonable amount compared to some of the other prices.  I don't think anyone would have a problem paying that.

I've had to pay more than that for a couple of hog hunts in the past. Your price is right on. But area and game management is what's going to make the deal work. One thing that has always been a turn off to me are trophy fees.Good Luck

I would be interested but I don't hunt out of blinds not my style.  Widow

with all respect to all of you who have commercial hunting ventures, I just can't wrap my brain around the idea of paying to hunt. I grew up in Michigan where public land is abundant. I live in Georgia now and we have some excellent WMA's. I know I may be missing out on some trophy opportunities but I love hunting in its entirety and consider a weekend in the field a treasured  experience whether I take an aninmal or not. Staying in a motel and being driven to my blind does not appeal to me. Some of our most challenging camping experiences have become some of my best memeories. I have nothing against those who do pay to hunt as long as it is fair chase. If you can afford it and have the time, God bless ya. I just have never done it. Maybe someday I will.
