If you have went on a guided whitetails hunt, I would like to know how the experience was for you and what made it good, bad, or just another hunt. I will start. I have been on seven guided whitetail hunts and have killed one buck out of seven times. When you think about it, for a one week hunt where you are trying to kill trophy bucks that isn't too bad (not good, but all were challenging in their own way). My first two were on a very large plantation in Louisiana as a guest of a client. It was fun to see new habitat, but did not see a lot of deer bucks or does. That was around 1996 - 1997. Then I went to Texas twice on very very large acreage high fence hunts. I did not kill the first time, but could have shot several bucks just none like I was looking for. The next time I was back in Texas, I did kill a nice buck. A friend of mine manages a few ranches down there and I went with him. Seeing tons of deer and new habitat made it fun. The next hunt was Iowa. It was a disaster. The outfitter lost nearly all of his hunting acreage before we arrived and did not tell us. Every day but one, I had another hunter within 100 yards of me. Need I say more? Then I went to Illinois twice and the hunts were excellent even though I did not kill. I saw lots of nice bucks just none within bow range.
