Common Questions
How much does a guided predator hunt cost?
Across published prices for guided predator hunts, most fall between $1,025 and $8,000, with a midpoint around $6,498. Based on prices published by 48 outfitters on their own websites. Prices exclude the hunting licence and tag, which are paid to the state separately.
Where are guided predator hunts least expensive?
Among states where at least 8 outfitters publish prices, Wyoming has the lowest midpoint at about $6,500 across 9 outfitters, and Idaho the highest at about $6,950 across 15. 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.
What else should I budget for beyond the predator 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.
