Okanagon Guides

[jstone]

Watched western Ex. on the outdoor channel they where in the Okanagon hunting with a guide. I am interested in the late hunitng for mulies BUT 5000? is a lot for a washington hunt in my eyes. Or is it?? Comments please can i go to another state and spend 5000 for an oppertunity on bigger bucks. Or even Canada?

Darn near pay for an African safari for that price and get to see a different part of the world.

$5K for a deer hunt in this state is insane.  No offense but for the same money a guy could easily go to another state and be able to have a hunt where you probably see more deer and have a shot at a bigger buck.  You could easily do a guided hunt in MT, WY, ID, CO where you would spend the same but probably get a much larger buck.  Or go to Africa and get a really cool hunting experience.

What everyone else said. If I had $5k to burn on a deer hunt it wouldn't be here. Check out Colorado, Montana, Wyoming etc and I bet you could get a better quality hunt for cheaper.

I've hunted with Tanglewood before and like them. Last I checked they were no where in the same universe as that price but it's been a few years. Oren and his family run a solid outfit with plenty of big deer on private & public land.

You aren't going to get to hunt any later in the year by having a guide.  What it really comes down to, unless you are talking about a horse pack in, is paying $5k for access to large blocks of private.  Unless a guy has some physical limitations just pick a region with ample NF and go work hard at it.  What's "worth it" varies wildly person to person with respect to paying to shoot a critter though.

I'd only pay an outfitter for a ride to where I want to hunt. When I'm 70 I may see this very differently. I have no interest in paying $5k to shoot WA mule deer, now or then.

It was not Tanglewood. But Jim Burnworth hunted with them last year. So maybe thats why they think its worth the 5000.00?

its a business, they charge what people are willing to pay for and i don't think they struggle to fill their spots. im sure they have a pretty good repeat customer base as well.

Okanagon valley outfitters I do believe. Or is it guide service can't remember for sure.

Netminder.....when did you go? I've hunted with Oren and the crew twice....I should say I took my dad once and my brother a second time. Todd and the crew are a good bunch. Rita has a knife that I had Rainshadow make for her. It was a pearl handled all purpose knife. When I gave it to her she said hang on and came back with a loaded .44 mag saying look how pretty it is next to my favorite gun!

I went 3-4 years ago and have a nice Mulie on my wall to show for it. I really enjoyed their company and even took my GF (at the time) with me for a turkey hunt. Great country - great people.

We've got a cabin over there and there is LOTS of public land there. Do your homework with maps etc.....

Is it really worth $5000 to sit over a pile of Apples for a week not hunting in my  Book.

I have never used them, but I've heard good things about Early Winters Outfitters.

Cost a lot of money to keep those apple piles full.  Must be hard to edit some of those shows with trying not to show to many apple trees, houses, tractors and old orchard equipment.
