Guided Hunts

Landowner tags let you skip the draw in some states and not others. Here's how Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, and Wyoming actually work, and where to buy hunts.

Most booking sites just list outfitters. Here's how Urge2Hunt screens every operation we book, and how to verify any outfitter before you send a deposit.

Member: Safari Club International, Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Mule Deer Foundation, Ducks Unlimited. Last reviewed: August 2026 A guided mule deer hunt in the United States typically costs between $3,000 and $10,000, while premium trophy hunts can exceed $15,000. The final price depends on the state, tag type, hunt length, and trophy pote

Guided hunts with tags included means your hunting tag is secured through a legal state program outside of the traditional public draw system. Depending on the state, that tag may come from a landowner tag, a voucher tag, or another approved allocation program. You book the hunt, the outfitter secures the tag through that system, and you avoid waiting years to draw. These aren't loopholes or private licenses. They're legal wildlife management programs created by state agenci

Alaska brown bear hunting sits in a category of its own. For many hunters, it is one of the final steps in completing a North American big game list. Others see it as the next challenge after years of black bear hunting in places like Alberta or Idaho. Either way, timing matters more than most hunters realize. May is the center of the Alaska brown bear calendar.

Nevada mule deer hunting has a reputation for producing mature bucks in rugged country. The state consistently turns out heavy antlered mule deer. For many hunters, Nevada sits near the top of the Western mule deer list. The challenge is getting a tag. The Nevada Department of Wildlife (NDOW) uses a draw system that can confuse even experienced hunters. Bonus points matter, but they do not guarantee success. Hunters with high point totals still get skipped every year. Meanwhi

British Columbia stands out as one of the best places in North America for a true trophy moose hunt. For 2026, more hunters are looking north, not just for size, but for value and access. Compared to Alaska or the Yukon, British Columbia moose hunts offer strong trophy quality with more flexible options and better overall cost.

Finding a solid hunt without spending five or ten thousand dollars is possible. In fact, some of the best value hunts in the country fall under $2,500. The key is knowing where to look and how to avoid low-success public land trips that waste your time. Cheap guided hunts are not about cutting corners. They are about making smart choices. Private land access, the right species, and a vetted outfitter all play a role.
