Planning a hunting trip can be overwhelming. From coordinating travel to finding a reputable outfitter, mistakes can be costly and frustrating. Hunting consultants simplify the process, connecting you with trusted outfitters, handling logistics, and ensuring your adventure exceeds expectations. At Shoshone Adventures, our consultants specialize in different game species, hunting methods, and locations to provide clients with accurate guidance and unforgettable experiences.

What Is a Hunting Consultant?

Hunting consultants are outdoor professionals who help clients plan and book hunting, fishing, and adventure trips. At Shoshone, each consultant is deeply familiar with the game, location, outfitter, and legal requirements for every hunt. We vet operations to ensure clients are booking with reputable outfitters, creating safe, ethical, and high-quality hunting experiences.

Benefits of Working with a Hunting Consultant

• Access to Reputable Outfitters: Consultants ensure you book with operations that maximize your chances of success, providing transparency about harvest rates, opportunity, and trophy expectations.
• Financial Transparency: We outline all costs upfront—so there are no surprises on arrival.
• Coordinating Logistics: Remote hunts can be difficult to reach. Consultants plan the most efficient travel routes and handle coordination with outfitters.
• Streamlined Payments: International hunts often require complex payment arrangements. Shoshone consultants handle these processes so you can focus on the hunt.
• Best Pricing & Deals: Consultants have access to up-to-date pricing, discounts, and cancellation hunts, giving clients opportunities that may otherwise be out of reach.

Qualities to Look for in a Hunting Consultant

A great hunting consultant possesses:

• Knowledge: Experts who are continually learning about hunts, outfitters, and regulations.
• Integrity: Consultants should prioritize quality hunts over commissions, ensuring clients have the best possible experience.

At Shoshone, our goal is not to sell hunts—we aim to find the right hunt for each client.

Best Practices for Working with a Hunting Consultant

• Be Transparent: Share your physical fitness, hunting experience, and expectations.
• Ask Questions: Don’t hesitate to ask many questions—it ensures you’re fully informed.
• Share Your Budget & Preferences: This helps consultants narrow down the best options for you.
• Plan Early: Book at least six months to a year in advance for premium hunts; top operations are often booked years ahead.
