Mr. DoeNob, you have either misread my web site or missed a point. My rates for two days guided 1x1 is $1600 and 2x1 is $1200 each. This is with nothing furnished but the guide.
The price that you quoted, $2200 solo, $2000 each 2-3 people or $1800 for four or more hunters. This price includes a camp, lodging, all food, snacks, drinks,, two day guides, a man in camp to help the hunters move around and assistance in getting the elk out. There are two different options.
I also take exception to the statement "expecting very high quality "guiding" services. I can give you the one family, father and son that muzzleloader hunted last year and killed two bulls while guided the first day of their hunt or I can give you the name of the guy that killed the 356 bull on the second day of his $1600 hunt after wounding a 340 bull the first day. I have a lot of these situations as my guys go out to kill elk.
Also lastly I purposely choose to do these hunts along with fully guided hunts, as I have a lot of guides that are working people. I may not make as much money, as a fully guided hunt, but I choose to provide employment to guides that have full time jobs and can get off for two days at a time. These guides are great and they want to harvest bulls in those two days, more bulls harvested the bigger the tips, and I pay an incentive pay for every bull that is brought into camp. I want those hunters to have a great hunt, even if it is two days long. Kiowa Hunting
