Trading Hunts?

[keithafernandezjr]

Would anyone be interested in trading hunts? Basically, I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

My offers are all public or leased land. Harvest is not guaranteed, but odds are generally pretty good and I can promise I'll bust my ass scouting to give us every opportunity. Certain hunts have way higher odds of success. It's an honor system, no spot stealing. Preference goes to non-locals to help avoid spot stealing. You'd be responsible for your transit, lodging and license/tag fees. I can shuttle you to/from airport and hunting locations. Certain hunts require quota permits, which I can help you apply for. I'd also be applying to increase our odds given certain permits allow multiple guest hunters. This also means there's a chance you don't draw your permit. In that case, we could either push to the following season/split, plan a different hunt, or cancel the swap.

I can offer the following:

• Southeast Florida: Alligator, Waterfowl (unique species like Fulvous Whistlers, Black Belly Whistlers, Mottleds, Egyptian Geese, fully plumed Bluewings), Osceola Turkey, Snipe, Pigs
• Southeast New York: Deer, Black Bear, Turkey, Waterfowl (Woodies, Greenwings, Mallards), Furbearers (trapping or calling)
• Long Island: Waterfowl (Brant, Canada Geese, Black Ducks, assorted divers)
• Northeast Pennsylvania: Deer, Black Bear, Turkey, Furbearers (calling)
• North New Jersey: Black Bear, Deer, Furbearers (calling)

I also have ~1.5 miles of private access to the Beaverkill River in NY with world class trout fishing. I'm no fly fisherman, but I'm happy to grant access. Can also do inshore/offshore fishing and spearfishing in Southeast FL or Bahamas, but that's much more difficult for me logistically.

I've done this with quite a few guys and had good success. Gators, waterfowl and snipe in FL. Deer in PA and NY. Bear in NJ. Waterfowl in LI. I'm interested in trading for literally any species, any location, ideally gun or crossbow hunt. Would also trade for free/discounted taxidermy work.

If you are after pheasant, Hungarian partridge, sharptail grouse, ruffed grouse, prairie chicken, sage grouse, central flyway ducks or ice fishing in ND and surrounding states or scaled quail or javelina in NM I can get you on them.

Seriously great thread here! Let's get the Society out hunting and fishing together.

Some of my best hunts have been reciprocal with out of state buddies doing the same thing, go hunt with them at their honey hole and then they come to yours. Works out fantastic generally.

I can hook you up with a cape and a black angus cow. Will that work? Cow may or may not be mine.

Out here in WA they have some terrific hunts IF you can draw a permit. So I really can't trade hunts per se, and I've never hunted Africa so no joy there either, but I could offer you a pretty damn good salmon fishing weekend or rockfish/bottom fishing excursion out of Sekiu or Neah Bay.
My boat is only a 21 foot Bayliner Trophy but it will fish 3 dudes comfortably, the captain, first mate and tour guide (all the same person ) serves drinks. And the fishing can be epic!

We will be staying out at our family cabin near mount Vernon this July for a couple of weeks- should get together!

BTW - a bit of WA history - have you watched Tengu - a film sponsored/produced by Yeti (on Youtube) it is excellent and the crowd I grew up with in Seattle.... it is kind of a Pacific Northwest fishing cultural icon that I experienced firsthand in the 70's. super cool time and place.
