EXPRESS it is a website where members reley the details of their hunts and provide their contact info for reference.
Seems like agreat tool for researching outfits and agencies.
Only thing is that they want around $100 per year, which seems a bit steep.

bluefinI sort of thought $100 was cheap.
I like it in that you can research the hunt reports to see what other hunters thought of their hunts, how much they paid for it, game seen and game taken.
Likewise if you're looking for outfitters for say Colorado elk or Mexican Coues, you can crossreference it and find the outfitters that other hunters were happy with. Same with African hunts and outfitters. You can look by country, game or outfitter.
Cheaper than flying to Reno with 2 nights hotel to meet and interview outfitters.

dinsdaleI was a subscriber,it was worth it.If I was planning an outfitted hunt someplace,it's a good research tool.Several members here post their reports there.
I posted all my outfitted hunts and several members contacted me for a conversation,when they looked into those outfits.
Next time I'm booking I will re-up.
It won't help for your elk hunt plans,it doesn't cater to self guided hunts.

oakmanI am a subscriber and its worth it if your planning a hunting trip with in the year. Its up to date, paper and the web site. But if your not going any where, its not worth it and it,s only 60.00 a year, unless they went up ???.....

safari-lawyerIt's somewhat spendy for what it is. No glossy pics, no binding, less than 25 pages, etc. But it is well worth it if you are spending any amount of money on hunting abroad.

M16No, it's not worth it. Not anymore. You can get better information and updates right here on Accurate Reloading. At one time it was the cat's meow.

I do subscribe and use it particularly if I'm thinking about doing business with an outfit I'm not yet familiar with.

bwanamrmI use it... and find it worthwhile. But my life pretty much revolves around hunting so what do I know!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
Life grows grim without senseless indulgence.

You said that like it is a bad thing.

That's one up on most of us.

Greg BrownleeRoss, Jeff and I use it and think its a helpful tool. I check the web for references almost daily on it, so if I didn't have the subscription on the web it would cost something like $1.00 each time I looked. If you get the web extra its only an extra $3.00/month, which I think is worth it.

404WJJefferyI think it is a pity they accept ads from outfitters- no offense to that profession- but it is an inherent conflict- do you take income from the very people who may be negatively portrayed in a hunt report?

I love that sig line, Express. It's been a favorite of mine for years.

woodsieIs there more information on individual guides and outfitters than the part where you pay .99 cents for each one.
I did that on a couple of my outfitters that I am using, and everything came up great.
