Why do the prices vary from one whitetail hunt to another?
WSI conducts whitetail hunts on many different properties scattered around the state. Each property is owned by a different landowner and WSI contracts with those landowners to secure hunting rights and offer hunts on these properties. We price our hunts on each property based on numerous variables including anticipated trophy quality, quality of housing, location of property, and cost of administering operational and management activities. As a rule, our quality of antlers is generally a bit better on our higher priced hunts, but there are certainly exceptions to this rule and in some years we will collect some of our finest bucks on our lower priced hunts. Also, a few of our properties are high fenced, and we generally implement intensive feeding programs on these properties in order to support a higher deer density and to elevate our antler quality, and the cost of these feeding programs is factored into the price.
