Do you guys think it's worth it, or should I spend the money on something else like more gear or waterfowl hunting etc?
One thing I'm interested in is how long have you been predator hunting, and how much time have you spent out in the field?
This is kind of like the give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll eat for life...or whatever.
I'm going on my second year and have learned a TON in just one year. Mainly by getting out and hunting as much as I can, learning from my mistakes, and meeting other hunters who are willing to share some knowledge. I take their information and I apply it to my territory. Going on a guided hunt for one day might put a few coyotes under your belt, but you're still going to have to figure out all your stands on your own, locate your own packs, and learn to call them in to kill them...unless you just want to keep paying for guided hunts any time you want to put one down. See what I'm saying?
Now, for me, I'd pay for a guided hunt for wolves or mountain lions, but I have neither of those in my state. I wouldn't go into this thinking that once you're guided, you'll be dropping fur left and right. This isn't an easy sport.
