Getting the Most from Your Guided Trophy Hunt

For many hunters, a big game trophy hunt is a bucket-list experience they wait years to enjoy.

If you plan to cross this once-in-a-lifetime event off your list in the near future, it’s important that you get the maximum enjoyment from the experience. Choose to use the services of a professional guide for your trophy hunt, and you’ll be in for a real treat.

Be Prepared for Your Big Trophy Hunt

The fact that you’ll be trusting your experience to a professional hunting guide doesn’t relieve you of the obligation for preparation.

Ask your hunting guide for a list of clothing and equipment you need to bring on your trek. Don’t hesitate to ask for clarification on anything, as having the right gear will ensure your comfort, safety and success.

Spend the weeks and months leading up to your guided hunt working on your health and fitness. You’ll be covering a lot of unfamiliar – and potentially inhospitable – terrain, so be sure your body is able to handle it.

Finally, work diligently on your marksmanship. You’ll never live it down if you miss the shot. Speaking of which, ensure that your hunting rifle is clean and in perfect working order.
