Each price was read from an outfitter's own website and stored with the sentence it was quoted in. Whole-hunt prices only — day rates and multi-gun party packages are excluded, because they answer a different question. Species with fewer than 4 outfitters publishing a price are left out rather than shown on a sample too small to mean anything (Predator, Turkey, Waterfowl in Illinois).
