Tag services vs GoHunt ?

[WVTXn]

Howdy Y’all,

Any thoughts on tag services vs doing it on my own using GoHunt? I currently use a tag service but have mixed reviews. My emails and phone calls are always answered but it seems like the cost just isn’t worth it. I’m using the tag service for a few western states and doing it myself on a few eastern states. I’ve also inquired about some landowner tags but it seems like I’m being sold on guided hunts. I realize that after typing this I’m answering my own questions. But before I call GoHunt, has anyone had any good bad or ugly experiences?

all they are good for is articles about gear they sell, promoting their podcasts and videos, and offering the same "insider" info they've been giving out to hundreds of thousands of people for years.

Sure the heck seems like it.
Might even be counter-intel.

GoHunt has their own tag service now.....

I think GoHunt has been worth the cost from my perspective. I get a lot of benefit from the filtering and draw odds data and became aware of many opportunities because of their articles. Lots of folks will throw rocks at them for bringing additional non-residents to their state, but I think they are certainly worth the price they charge for the service they provide.

I have considered tag services really only for the advice they can provide related to outfitters. I prefer a DIY approach, but have used outfitters with mixed results. The tag services should have better insight into customer feedback and overall experience quality.

I understand this. Had a not so good outfitted experience last fall.

Thanks for the insight.

Gohunt is worth it to me, I use it pretty much strictly for keeping track of draw odds, license allocations, etc. Have to do plenty of research outside of the app as well but for those functions alone I think it’s worth it
