I was talking with a non - turkey hunter ( what ?) the other day and he said he'd like to try hunting them. He followed with "whats the going rate for a one on one guided hunt?". I've been blessed with never having to pay to hunt them so I was at a complete loss for an answer. Does anyone here have any idea? I know that species, lodging and food can add to the price so leave that out.
So, for simplicity....... a one on one... for a day.... for an Eastern? anyone? Thanks in advance.
Best way to get info may be to google turkey guides in __________ Prices vary from state to state, some wont do one day some may.
not trying to advertise our services at all. but we charge 1250.00 for a 3 day hunt along the low grounds of the roanoke river in nc. this includes meals,lodging,guiding and best of all u can fish for striped bass for free along the banks.
Friend of mine offers one day hunts. His price was $250 several years ago
Depends on the guide. Not sure if many do 1 day hunts.
3 days - Western Kentucky- 2 birds-500.00
I've guided day-hunts in the past, and here's what I did:
You meet me about 2 hours before the hunt (4 a.m.), and I drive us the rest of the way. No breakfast, no lunch....I do have bottled water......I put us on a roosted bird that I scouted previously, and what happens, happens......$125, and we'll hunt 'til you kill or want to stop.
I suppose most are packaged hunts including overnight and meals. The one day info is appreciated ... thanks to all. Any other day rates are appreciated.
Out here $100 to $125 a day per hunter no meals or lodging on public land. Good luck.
Where is "out here" Mossy?
You also have to figure in the license fees as well for in state or out of state.

You can budget $900.00 to $1,200.00 for about any out of state trip, except Florida. Some a little more, some a little less. Thats semi-guided. three days, two birds, license, lodging food,and gas.

I think 150 is more than fair....Prices are starting to get out of hand.
I : charge 1050.00 for 3 days in Nebraska for 2 birds,250.00 for a 3rd bird.Guaranteed ,no chance to kill you dont owe me anything.You hunt with me personally and you will be successful----- in 5yrs i have never failed to fill out a guy.It helps that we have a truckload of gobblers and i only take 10 hunters a season.I dont know anyone that offers this but myself.
You have to just check around. I have mostly seen about 300 to 400 per day without license.
