Finding a quality outfitter and booking a hunting or fishing trip takes precious time away from family and business. What do many people do? Too often, they simply hear of a trip, decide to do it, and off they go. Deep down they know they should have looked around, they know they should have asked more questions or should have done more research, but time didn’t allow them that luxury. Most of us that have taken this route to booking a hunting trip have a few unhappy stories to tell when things didn’t work out as hoped.

Instead, you should make one phone call to a valuable supply of information, the professional booking agent. A good agent will first find out what your interests are, maybe African plains game this year, maybe an American elk next year, and maybe a red stag down the road. All those wishes get logged in their database, and if a great trip comes along, you get a call or, more likely, an email. Maybe want to go on a multi-species horseback wilderness hunt. A good agent will ask you to talk to him realistically about your horsemanship, your physical conditioning, your trophy size expectations and, importantly, your budget. In most cases, an agent has multiple hunts of that type available to choose from. The best booking agents / brokers works with many different outfitters worldwide in order to offer you different choices. You may find you cannot afford either the time or money required, once you factor in air flights, licenses, trophy transport etc. Your agent/broker may suggest a less expensive alternative; or put you on a cancelation list for a future bargain or they may suggest putting down a small deposit now and locking in some dates and maybe even locking in prices two years down the road so you can save some money. A trip will be tailored to fit your needs!

Now please realize that using a good professional full-time booking agent is not a guarantee of success. Even the best agent cannot predict the dozens of variables that can affect any given trip. But booking your trip through a professional certainly ups your odds dramatically. While the agent cannot possibly control what happens on your particular trip, he does know what that outfitter’s overall record is. The best of outfitters can fail to get you your trophy, but always remember that the agent is working to stack opportunity in your favor and finding you the best opportunities is what a good agent/broker does.

And we saved the best for last – the agent/brokers services should always be FREE to you! You pay the same trip price (and sometimes less) regardless of whether you book direct from an outfitter or through an agent! You get the benefit of all of their research, years of experience, advice and counsel, and you get a selection of outfitters to choose from – ALL FREE. You pay not a single dime, as the outfitter pays the agent/broker for advertising and marketing their adventures.

The best agents/brokers want you to come back again and again, which means they need to give you solid advice. In return, they hope you will be loyal to them, and if your friends want to do an adventure next year, please do the right thing and send them back to your agent. It is how they earn their living. Using an agent is the absolute best way to book your next hunting or fishing adventure. Rely on their expertise as they have many years of experience and have often actually hunted with many of the outfitters they are representing.
