Our Hunt Guarantee

Although our success rates are extremely high for harvesting your trophy (nearly 100%), we can't guarantee that every hunter will harvest their trophy. If you don't shoot any game (harvest or wound), you will not pay a trophy fee.

Dream Hunts: 20 Incredible Big Game Hunting Trips

From moose hunts in Canada to monster mule deer hunts in the desert, here are our picks for 20 hunting trips to plan your greatest outdoor adventure ever

By The Editors | Published Mar 4, 2021 5:24 PM EST

Trophy bull elk bugles from a mountainside meadow

We know that big game hunting season is still months away, but just the idea of getting to travel more easily and safely this year already has us thinking about dream hunts. S we asked our experts to pick the best big game hunts in North America that the average hunter can actually pull off. To be clear: This isn’t another lists of cheap, DIY hunts (though some of these are easily taken on your own), nor is it a roundup of expensive outfitters. These trips are chosen for value. So, quit dreaming and start planning.

The 20 Best Hunting Trips for Your Budget

We’ve done the research—and taken many of these hunts ourselves—to create a list of the very best big game hunting opportunities and affordable hunting trips.

1. Where to Hunt Moose in Alberta

Big Country: Alberta Moose Hunting

Logistics: Once you secure a moose tag from your outfitter, you just need a passport to get into Canada, the proper paperwork to get a firearm across the border, and a Wildlife Identification Number (WIN) card to hunt Alberta. Price: $5,000 to $7,000 — Will Brantley

2. Hunt Record-Book Black Bears in Northern Saskatchewan

Why You Should Go: Huge swaths of northern Saskatchewan are only accessible by boat or plane. Up there, most black bears die of old age. A few outfitters are pioneering into areas where bears have never been hunted. This region has the genetics for giant boars; it may be the best opportunity anywhere to shoot a true trophy-class black bear. Logistics: The best hunting is in June. Licenses are only available through an outfitter. Hunters fly into Saskatoon, and then make the rest of the trip in vehicles, floatplanes, and boats via the outfitter. Price: $4,000 to $5,000 (Guided) — Brad Fenson

3. Travel to Kodiak Island, Alaska, for a Blacktail Deer Adventure

Why You Should Go: If hunting blacktail deer on the home turf of the world’s largest brown bears doesn’t get your adrenaline pumping, then we can’t help you. These true wilderness hunts are usually based from a boat that provides a dry place to sleep (and protection from bears). Good bucks abound here, and depending on the weather, you may find them anywhere from the beach to the high peaks. Logistics: The small planes and boats required to get to Kodiak make travel challenging. Transporters provide boats for D.I.Y. trips, but the hunting is up to you. Outfitted hunts are much more inclusive. Licenses are over the counter. For more information, go to adfg.alaska.gov. Price: $3,000 to $4,000 (Transported and unguided or guided) — B.F.

4. Stalk Giant Velvet Mule Deer in Alberta

Why You Should Go: Three-hundred-plus-pound muleys, close-range spot-and-stalk, and velvet antlers are indeed the stuff of dreams for most bowhunters: It’s what makes Alberta such a hot destination during the September bow season—and your odds only go up during gun season. The region is marked by rolling prairie, steep coulees, and a smattering of cropfields, making it the perfect place to grow trophy bucks, and to sneak up on them. Logistics: The only way to obtain a tag in Alberta is through an outfitter, but there are dozens in the region. The Alberta Professional Outfitters Society has a directory. Price: $3,000 to $4,000 (Guided) — B.F.

5. Why Idaho Is the Best State to Hunt Color Phase Black Bears

Idaho Spring Bear hunting

Why You Should Go: Idaho has one of the largest black bear populations in the Rocky Mountains, and a high percentage of color-phase bruins. From mid April through June, you can spot bears on south-facing slopes, munching on the green grass they need to flush their systems after hibernation. You can hire a guide, or spot-and-stalk from the dirt roads and trails coursing through national forest land for a rare D.I.Y. trophy. Logistics: There are plenty of tags available over the counter, and some units allow you to take two bears. There are dozens of reputable outfitters for both spot-and-stalk and baited hunts. Price: $2,000 to $3,000 (Guided); $1,000 to $2,000 (Unguided) — Ben Romans

6. Wyoming Pronghorns Is One of the Most Affordable Hunting Trips in the U.S.

Colorado and Wyoming pronghorn hunting

Why You Should Go: ­Wyoming has more antelope than people, and an array of hunting opportunities. To chase a trophy pronghorn, you can build points for a managed area. If you just want to hunt antelope, there are zones where you can draw every year or buy a leftover tag, of which there are usually plenty. You can hire a guide, hunt on public ground, or hunt private ground for a landowner fee—or in some cases for free with permission. Logistics: Wyoming begs for a D.I.Y. hunt, but there are plenty of good outfitters, too. Wyoming Game and Fish’s new Hunt Planner is an invaluable resource. Price: $2,000 to $3,000 (Guided); $1,000 to $2,000 (Unguided) — B.F.

7. Welcome to Axis Deer Paradise

Why You Should Go: If you’re after adventure, natu­ral beauty, exclusivity, and the finest red meat on earth, then Lanai, a 90,000-acre private island 40 miles west of Maui, is the spot. You may see hundreds of animals in a day while hunting one of the world’s largest populations of free-range axis deer . There are mouflon sheep, too. The terrain is spectacular and ­diverse, with mountains, plains, and ocean vistas. Logistics: You’ll fly to Maui, Hawaii, then ferry to Lanai. The stunning Hotel Lanai is under $200 per night. Since the game is privately owned, you’ll pay an outfitter about $3,000 for one day (though bowhunters might need two) of guided hunting that includes a trophy stag and two non-trophies. Price: $3,000 to $6,000 (Guided) — Jeff Johnston

8. Chase Barren-Ground Caribou in Manitoba

Manitoba Central Barren Ground Caribou

Why You Should Go: Northern Manitoba borders Hudson Bay, and the mixed habitat along the shoreline is the historical migration route of central barren-ground caribou. This hunt won’t cost you much more than a D.I.Y. fly-in adventure in other parts of the North, but it’s logistically easier, and success rates on trophy bulls are much higher. Logistics: The region is only accessible by airplane, with licenses available through outfitters who take care of planning and details. Much of the hunting is done from boats, and from both permanent and spike camps. Price: $5,000 to $6,000 (Guided) — B.F.

9. Stalk Trophy Mule Deer in the Nebraska Sandhills

Why You Should Go: The Nebraska Sandhills are the up-and-coming place to kill a big mule deer buck. Miles of rolling hills are woven with creekbottoms and some agriculture. Like Alberta, it’s ideal habitat for growing big deer and for spot-and-stalk hunting—but more affordable, and with great D.I.Y. opportunities. Logistics: Permits are available via application, and most tags are good for either a mule deer or a whitetail ­(outdoor​­nebraska.​gov/​hunting​­seasons). There are significant chunks of public land, along with some excellent outfitters for hunting private ground. Price: $3,000 to $4,000 (Guided); $1,000 to $2,000 (Unguided) — B.F.

10. Tag a 350-Inch Bull Elk in New Mexico

Why You Should Go: The Gila National Forest in southwest New Mexico is 3.3 million public acres of famously good elk hunting. Secure a tag and you have a solid chance at killing a 350-inch bull. The terrain is largely sandy, and full of pinyon and ponderosa pine. The climate is mild. Though some outfitters use horses to get deep into the backcountry, plenty of the Gila is accessible on foot. Logistics: New Mexico doesn’t award preference points. Nonresidents hunting solo are allotted 6 percent of the licenses in a drawing pool; nonresidents who book with a guide, 10 percent. You can apply as a party to help your chances, and a good outfitter can assist you with the process and put you on elk once you’ve drawn. According to the outfitters we polled, most hunters get drawn at least once every four years, so put in now. Price: $5,000 to $6,000 (Guided); $2,000 to $3,000 (Unguided) — W.B.

11. Plan the Ultimate Big Game Hunting Trip in Montana

Why You Should Go: Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness is one of the only places in the world where you can rifle hunt rutting elk, mule deer, black bears, and wolves all at the same time. Hunter success with a good outfitter runs about 50 percent, meaning that a hardworking hunter should take two of the four species during a 10-day hunt, with pretty good trophy potential. Logistics: Riding in via horseback takes a full day and can leave you too sore to hunt hard the next, so opting for a picturesque helicopter ride into “The Bob” is worth considering—and less costly than you may think. Contact an outfitter early to apply for tags, and you’ll almost surely draw. Price: $4,000 to $6,000 (Guided) — Joseph von Benedikt

12. Travel to Utah for One of the Best Mule Deer Hunts Ever

Trio of big mule deer bucks

Why You Should Go: Utah’s extended archery hunt offers a chance to chase rutting muley bucks on an easy-to-draw tag. Draw for any unit in the state (some regions are almost 100 percent odds even for nonresidents), but don’t hunt the regular season. Hold off and that unused tag will qualify you to hunt the archery-only area in the public-access Wasatch Mountains during late November and early December. There’s no rifle season here, allowing bucks to grow big and old. It’s arguably the best big-buck hunt in Utah short of drawing a premium tag, which can take decades. Logistics: You’ll need to earn an online-education certificate for this hunt, but it’s not difficult and well worth it. Prepare to glass big country, stalk up steep canyons in knee-deep snow, and shoot long. Price: $1,000 to $2,000 ­(Unguided) — J.v.B.

13. Chase Northwest Colorado Pronghorns

Why You Should Go: There are antelope all over the West. But if you’re after a true bruiser of a buck, few regions are better than northwest Colorado. Moffat County consistently produces more Booner speed goats than any other county in the state. The rolling landscape here has plenty of peaks and valleys for spot-and-stalk hunting, and numerous irri­gated alfalfa fields and livestock operations for water-hole archery hunts. Logistics: You can apply for points, hunt the ample BLM ground in the area, and probably kill a giant buck in a couple of days—especially with a rifle. The best trophy units here can take up to 15 points to draw, though with a little research, you can get a tag within five years in units that are almost as good. If you’re going guided, a number of outfitters have tags for sale every year. Price: $3,000 to $4,000 (Guided); $1,000 to $2,000 (Unguided) — W.B.

14. How to Plan a D.I.Y. Coues Deer Hunt

Why You Should Go: These tiny gray deer live in lonely, high-desert country, and they behave—and are hunted—more like desert bighorn sheep than whitetails. Prepare to have your mettle tested against steep, remote mountains infested with thorns—and your soul renewed by a backdrop of shockingly beautiful desert sunrises and sunsets. Logistics: Tags are easier to draw during the November pre-rut than for the December rut hunt. If you’re willing to build points, you can eventually draw a tag for a unit offering a legit chance at mature bucks with big genetics, though it’s possible to draw every year in some less popular units. Check the Arizona Game and Fish for details. Price: $1,000 to $2,000 (unguided) — J.v.B.

15. Guide Hunts for Mountain Lions in Idaho and Colorado

Colorado and Idaho Mountain Lions

Why You Should Go: If you love the sound of hounds at work, intense physical challenge, and an element of danger, go on a mountain lion hunt. Both Colorado and Idaho have thriving cat populations, and the states are neck-and-neck for B&C entries. When the dogs strike a hot track, the experience is as intense as it gets. Logistics: Both states ­offer over-the-counter ­licenses and long seasons open to hunting with hounds, but you want to go later in winter. Ideally, you keep a flexible schedule with an outfitter and hunt after a fresh snow. Check regs closely; in Colo­rado, you must pass a free (but easy) online course before getting a license. Check quotas daily. And plan on bringing the meat home—it tastes just like pork. Price: $4,000 to $5,000 (Guided) — W.B.

Duck Hunting Trip in Freeport

Freeport Duck Hunts

Hunting in Corpus Christi

This self-guided duck hunt is ideal for duck hunters with a little bit of experience under their belt, who want to bag some birds in one of America's best duck habitats. This trip is also a little less pricey than a guided trip, but you'll be shooting from the same places and the hunting is just as good. South Texas is smack in the middle of the Central Flyway, and is a stopover for dozens of migratory waterfowl species. The sheltered bays here draw hundreds of thousands of ducks annually, including Green-Winged and Blue-Winged Teals, Wigeons, Redheads, Pintails, Gadwalls, and Mottled Ducks, and more! You can target all of these species, which are exciting quarries and great eating to boot! On this trip, your outfitter, Captain Mitch will make sure to put you in the perfect spot to nail some inbound waterfowl. He'll provide the blinds and decoys, so all you need to bring is your waders, your guns, and your shells. He'll motor you out to the blind, but once you're out there, he leaves the hunting up to you!

The Ultimate Guide to Planning a Hunting Trip

The Ultimate Guide to Planning a Hunting Trip

When was the last time you went on a hunting trip? An entire trip dedicated to hunting is something that almost every hunter dreams of, yet not as many actually go through with it. Whether it’s a financial concern, a lack of knowledge or even just not understanding how to plan a hunting trip, people are always able to find some reason why they aren’t able to go.

We believe everyone should get to experience the joy of a hunting trip, which is why we’ve put together this guide to planning a hunting trip — check it out!

The Planning Phase

Obviously, before you can go on any hunting trip, the first step is to plan it. While you can technically plan for a hunting trip at any point, it’s recommended that you get the basics of the planning process done as early as you can. This will help guide you and your crew so that you can each continue to do your own research, gather supplies and figure out the next steps.

The initial things you need to figure out when planning a hunting trip are:

Decide What You’ll be Hunting

First and foremost, you’ll want to figure out what it is you’ll be hunting. Are you going to stick with a target that’s in your local area, such as a deer or turkey, or do you want to try to travel a bit further and try some sort of region-specific hunt, such as a bear, elk, or pig?

There are plenty of fun hunts that you can go on, so don’t be afraid to think outside of the box and try something new! It may seem like a daunting or expensive task at first, but if you do your research, you’ll be able to find a hunt that fits your budget. We’ve compiled a list of affordable hunting trips for budget-minded hunters , so be sure to take a look at that for inspiration.

Research the Best Locations

Once you’ve picked out your target of choice, it’s time to pick a location. There are plenty of factors that go into choosing the best hunting location, including:

  • Type of accommodation (hotel, lodge, camping, etc.)
  • Guided or not guided

You’ll also want to do plenty of research to find out if other hunters have had success in the area. An unsuccessful hunting trip is still a fun time, but it’s infinitely more fun when you’re entering an area where your chances for success are high. For example, if you’re going on a deer hunt, you’ll want to be sure that you are entering a state with high populations and low pressure from other hunters. Take a look at this blog post to learn about the best deer hunting states in 2021.

For even more ideas, head to our list of the 6 hunting trips that you should make within your lifetime.

Know Your Hunting Method

Now that you know what you’re hunting and where you’re hunting, it’s time to figure out how you’re hunting. There are two things to consider when thinking about your hunting method: your approach to the hunt and your weapon of choice.

Determining your approach depends a lot on the land that you’ll be hunting on. If you can, try to find some images of the land and read some first-hand information about how the land is laid out. This will help you get a clearer picture of whether you’ll be better off stalking or ambushing, for example. Obviously, you’ll be able to adapt your strategy once you’re actually there, but having some sort of plan for the trip helps to make you more prepared.

Once your attack strategy is put together, you can better understand which weapon you should bring with you. The weapon you use on your hunt will likely depend on getting a tag in the region and the local laws, but if you are given a choice, factor your strategy into the decision. Will you be getting close enough to an animal for a shot with a bow, or will you want to bring some sort of firearm? Figuring this out will also help you get more prepared for the upcoming hunt, and preparation is the secret ingredient to success.

Preparing for the Hunt

You’ve planned out the basics and the hunt is starting to get closer. This is when you can start to think about the logistics of the hunt and get yourself ready for the trip.

Create a Packing List

Planning out what to take on a hunting trip usually depends on the region that you’re hunting in, but there are a few basics that you’ll need regardless of where you’re going.

Reloading shotgun

These basic items include:

  • Tags and license
  • Weather-appropriate clothing
  • Backpack, fanny pack, or any other way to carry loose equipment
  • Scent killer

Map Out the Terrain

At this point in the planning process, you’ll want to get as detailed of a look at the terrain as possible. You don’t want to be showing up before sunrise on the first morning and not have a plan of attack, so do whatever you can to map out the terrain and plan out a route and strategy for each day that you’re there.

If you live far away from where you are traveling, you’ll want to utilize the Internet to make this happen. You can find websites where people will lay out detailed plans of what you should do, so use these first-hand accounts to your advantage. There’s no teacher-like experience, and every bit of information you gather will help you get a little bit closer to success.

If Possible, Scout Ahead of Time

Scouting the land before hunting is perhaps the most valuable thing you can do if you’re granted the time and opportunity. Even if you can get to the location a day early to look around, this will go such a long way towards the success of your hunt.

Taking the time to scout is perhaps the biggest variable that separates average hunters from good hunters. There are so many different insights that you can gain by scouting, and as you continue to pile up information, your brain will help you to make better decisions when the time for hunting actually happens.

Confused about how to scout? We have a full blog post featuring tips for scouting deer.

Get the Proper Gear

Did your scouting show you something about the land that you weren’t originally expecting or weren’t initially familiar with? If so, take this opportunity to load up on any extra gear that you may end up needing for the trip!

Some ideas include:

  • Rangefinder
  • Shooting sticks or a tripod
  • A suppressor

While spending more money on your hunting trip this late in the process may not seem all that appealing, if it’s an accessory that will benefit your hunt, it will be worth it in the long run. Once you’ve made it to the location, you won’t want to be held back in the field because you’re missing an accessory that could have helped you out. If you can swing it, it’s usually worth it to spring for the extra accessories that can help you out. You’ve made it this far — you may as well give yourself the best chances possible for success.

Most Importantly, Enjoy the Trip

No matter what type of hunting trip you take, be sure to enjoy the things that go right and embrace the things that go wrong. Hunting is not a year-round event, so any time that you can get out into the field should be cherished and appreciated, as they don’t come around as often as we would like.

Want to go the extra step to increase your odds of success and make your trip count? Look into hunting with a suppressor . Suppressors help you maintain the element of surprise, improve your accuracy and enhance your hunting experience overall. Learn more about how a suppressor can help you on your hunting trip !
