Ray, didn't see anything on your website about this hunt. Can you post more details? Specifically - location or ranch, total hunters on ranch (assume more than 6), ave size of goats taken last year, anticpated number of goats I could look over during a day, etc..

I didn't draw my elk tag in WY and this may be a quick way to get out west this year and hunt a state I haven't yet.

Thanks

Dang, an antelope hunt for $1125 a day? Did I miss read that?
What's the average day rate for Lion or Elephant?
I'll pass, to expensive for me.

TJ: Please don't take offense..but it sounds like a great deal...I tried to go to after NM pronghorn last year with my brother but everything was booked by the time I wanted to start spending money..while NM is modestly expensive (routinely in the $2500-$3500+ range for a 2-day hunt) NM does boast some of the biggest antelope out there and they have a bunch of them...you are paying for access to the best hunting grounds. It is worth every penny. I ended up hunting near Craig, CO instead of NM and we shot our goats right off the bat (that hunt, in second place, was right at $2000 a head for three days hunting [it was a six hour hunt for the two of us]). Ray's hunt sounds like an excellent deal. And when Ray says, diplomatically, that the hunt is 100% successful, that is what he means..these hunts are short, fast and exciting. And an antelope makes an excellent shoulder mount. The thing you would have to worry about on this hunt is being a good rifle shot when it counts!

rwj:
Certainly no offense taken. I went to Montana antelope hunting a few years ago, and the price was considerably less. I guess I need to keep up with hunt prices a little better.

Sweet deal $1125 per day
I like $23.25 plus gas and bullets for as many days as it takes....usually around 1/2 day.
