I am a houndsman myself, but I think it's a mistake for hound hunters to try and keep this great sport of houndhunting to themselves. We hounders are far better off to share our sport with other hunters, that is how support is established for something, it is done by involving others, nuff said. :twocents:

Thanks jackelope, you are exactly correct. In this economy all businesses are experiencing "survival of the fittest", you either find ways to engage the marketplace, or you find a different profession. I like what I do, so I look for creative ways to stay busy. I hope some of the folks find these offers appealing, there are more to come.

Thanks Buckhorn2, I have been selling a few hunts, just trying to keep the cash flow at a certain level to make everything work. My fingers are crossed hoping the economy gets better again. We are thankful we are still operating, not everyone is that lucky. I really feel sorry for the guys who have bought outfitting businesses and are still making payments on the business. Some are losing their butts just like folks in other businesses that are failing.
I am not the only outfitter discounting hunts to get them sold. If anyone has ever considered a hunt and can afford to go, this is definitely a time to get good deals for what ever you want to hunt, in any part of the world. :twocents:

yeah lucky i am in the game to fill spots between my farming so i don't have to make a certain $ to keep going and am glad you are keeping going and if you ever need any help selling hunts i do book hunts for other outfitters as well. and would be happy to help a brother outfitter maybe trade you out of a lion hunt :drool:

I have 4 mule deer hunts available on a 13,000 acre ranch in northwestern Utah close to Nevada and Idaho. Season runs Oct 1 to Nov 10. Most hunters shoot 16" to 26" bucks, but the ranch has produced a few 30" bucks. We normally have 90% to 100% success on the guided hunts. Depending on their ability, unguided hunters have been anywhere from 0% to 100% with probably about 60% success overall. I will attach some photos of mule deer we have taken on the ranch.
This is a fun hunt, when I hunt the ranch I normally spot 50 to 100+ deer daily and have seen a couple dozen bucks in a day, but I would say a half dozen bucks per day is about average. It's open rolling mountains and canyons with brushy pockets and one end of the ranch has heavy juniper cover. We have the best luck spotting the deer from a long distance and planning a good stalk. Another very effective method is to make drives through the many small brush patches. I took $500 off the price of these hunts for this week only.

Get 2 Guided Bear Hunts for $2500 total, that's only $1250 each. Our regular price is $1950 each for these bear hunts. SAVE $1400
Unfortunately two of my bear hunters cancelled at the last minute. So we only have 1 guided hunter and 1 unguided hunter out this week. On the first day (Sept 1) 12 bear, 3 cougar, a bull moose, and several good bucks were spotted. All the close bear were smaller ones so they were passed. We finished the day with a grouse for our efforts.
On the second day, 4 bear, a bunch of deer, two cow elk and a 5x5 bull elk were spotted. The unguided hunter watched the 5x5 for over a half hour, next week I have a bowhunter for elk so hopefully this bull hangs around the same area. Again smaller bear were passed yesterday, but just at dark last night a big brown was spotted with the guided hunter. They left that bear where he was at and are headed out this morning hoping to put the hurt on him. Anthony figured he was at least 250 and a really pretty shade of brown. My fingers are crossed for the day.
If anybody wants a cheap bear hunt, I will resell the two guided bear hunts that were cancelled for $2500 for both hunts, that's only $1250 each, we normally get $1950 for a bear hunt, so you save $1400 on both hunts.
I also have room for a few unguided bear hunts or unguided archery deer hunts. I will take $300 off the price, so you would only pay $450 to $950 for the hunts. We include meals and lodging and know where plenty of bear and deer are located.

My father turns 80 on Christmas day this year and has slowed down quite a bit. Still active but the stanima just isn't what it once was. Is this something he would be capable of doing? Like I said, not this year but hopefully the following if his time here permits it. It would have to be an easier hunt for him.

When you are ready to go cow elk hunting just remind me that your dad needs an easier hunt. I have a private ranch where we hunt out of elevated blinds and wait for the elk to enter the fields to feed at night. This is an easy hunt (almost no walking required) and we are usually 100% success on that hunt.
