would anyone have any intrest in a hunting preserve?

[carpsniperg2]

i am thinking about setting up a outfitter business, and building a preserve as well. i would offer hunts for rams and goats, would be great practice for bowhunters or great first hunts for youth hunters or beginner bowhunters. New hunters and old alike we are always looking for something to do in the off time of year. also great for disabled hunter, could be done year round as well. just have to get a business licence and insurance as well. and build my preserve. also would offer guided predator hunts for yotes and such. just putting this out to see if anyone would be intrested in it and the hunting opportunity's as well. or think there kids might like to do a hunt and such. i am just looking for feedback for my ideas let me know. but please keep it clean i don't need to be bashed for my ideas. we all are a brother hood of hunters so we do not need to be judging eachother as well . thanks for your input.

I would think you could make more money if you put out hogs or something. I am sure it would be more affordable for the average person so you would get a few more hunts.

i would love to do hogs i am a hog hunting freak! but in 1997 wa fish and game banned them from being being brought into the state or having them in your possession because they might just get loose and have them as a exotic animal i could do just reg domestic pigs but they would not be much fun from what i see and not a pair of horns on the wall were the rams and goats are livestock it is the same thing as me selling a beef on the hoof.

give domestic hogs a couple generations and they would get good and wild. another idea if you get enough land is to sell the experience and not jsut the hunt, like do a pack in hunt for a weekend, and show let people help set up the tent and see how to do it and get the full experience, this might get more first time hunters in just to get the experience.

Bison!  I would come down for that, save a trip over to Montana or Wyoming.  I just want the meat not to conserned about the "hunt".  Other than that I am just to cheap to pay to hunt but I imagine that there would be a market for other game if done right.

i have thought about the bison as well but the fencening would be huge money there used to a guy intown that raised them and he did o.k. with them but they were always out and a pain in the but he said the smaller animals would be better for me not as much cost and easyer to handle as well.

Yea the fencing would be a bugger, and they are a dangerous animal to boot.  I got to go on a hunt for them in the methow one year because a buddy got the great idea to raise some up to eat.  He got to eat them but I don't think he had the 2 day hunt to find and shoot them in his plans.

I dont think high fence farms are legal in washington...at least not for deer elk or anything thats a game animal.

I am not sure of the legality of whether ranch hunts for exotics are legal here in WA or not, personally don't know why they wouldn't be, providing sufficient measures were taken to prevent them from escaping the fence.  For me I hunted exotics once on a very large ranch, high fence like 17,000 acres with a bow.  To me it was a pretty tough hunt and I never felt like the animals were "fenced in" and couldn't get away from, they did a pretty good job of avoiding several of us.   I had a great time and did kill a nice hawaiian black sheep.  I would be interested in doing an off season hunt for exotics that was local enough to drive to, if the price were right and it was animals I wanted to hunt, and it isn't just on 100 acres.
