Common Questions
How much does a guided antelope hunt cost?
Across published prices for guided antelope hunts, most fall between $2,050 and $5,350, with a midpoint around $3,598. Based on prices published by 82 outfitters on their own websites. Prices exclude the hunting licence and tag, which are paid to the state separately.
Where are guided antelope hunts least expensive?
Among states where at least 8 outfitters publish prices, Wyoming has the lowest midpoint at about $3,500 across 49 outfitters, and Colorado the highest at about $4,113 across 10. These are not like-for-like: trip length, guide ratio and whether lodging is included all differ between states, as do tag costs and draw odds.
Does a guided antelope hunt price include the tag?
No. Outfitters quote their guiding, lodging and logistics; the licence and tag are bought separately from the state wildlife agency. Nonresident antelope tags run $326 in Wyoming, $493 in Colorado, and $423 in New Mexico. Those come from each state agency's published nonresident fee schedule.
What else should I budget for beyond the antelope hunt price?
Beyond the outfitter's fee and the tag, budget for travel to the trailhead or camp, licence fees, and a gratuity for the guide, which is commonly 10 to 15 percent of the hunt price on a fully guided trip. Meat processing and taxidermy are billed separately if you take an animal.
