Choosing the Perfect Hunting Lodge

1. Choosing the Perfect Hunting Lodge Choosing the Perfect Hunting Lodge Everybody has their pastimes which, in certain cases, become their passion. Take, for example, hunting in many parts of the world. Family holidays, business and corporate trips, and other events are often planned around this activity, whether you enjoy big game hunting in Africa, or wing-shooting and whitetail deer hunting in the southern states of the USA. Everybody has their own preferences and knows what they enjoy best. Planning a trip, obviously, will depend on the destination you choose, not only whether you like, say, hunting in Alabama or elsewhere, but also in terms of finding a good hunting lodge that offers you the facilities you expect and are happy to pay for. For example, the deer hunter wants to know there is a good chance they will leave with quality buck after their visit, much as the wing-shooter wants to know they visit a lodge renowned for its choices of birds and the abundance of these, whether you like quail or dove shooting, or pheasant or wild turkey, for example. Of course it is important to know that, in addition to the abundance of bird and other wildlife that may interest the hunter or wing-shooter, the lodge offers other great facilities such as great accommodations, food, the assistance of managers and support staff to help ensure your visit and stay at their destination is not only pleasant and acceptable, but memorable. That will help convince visitors to return in the future, to recommend them among your friends and colleagues and other hunters and wing-shooters and hunters. Word of mouth can spread a good message fast and benefit both the lodge and their would-be visitors. A good lodge survives on sound principles which include good service for their visitors, but also in terms of how they present themselves not only as a business but also as a lodge that considers various aspects of wildlife conservation and issues such as culling, for example. A good lodge will have plans in place to ensure they support all good initiatives that will help to enhance the bigger industry, not only their immediate needs. They will make sure they offer their visitors a great opportunity to hunt healthy buck and birds; this will only happen if their management plans include various aspects related to making sure that good food plots are provided for, that buck have access to good food and water sources, that birds have access to the seeds and berries they need to thrive and keep them in a specific environment, making it possible for the hunter to enjoy a good visit. Of course these are issues that are looked at over a number of years: nothing happens overnight, and systems need to be monitored by experienced managers and their assistants to ensure that good principles aid their ideals of offering visitors good buck and birds for the hunt.

2. Once the lodge is known for these systems and services they will automatically be mentioned in circles where hunters and wing-shooters talk about the best ones – leading to more and more visitors enquiring and coming to stay, also repeatedly. Nothing is more off-putting than a service marketing themselves as a great hunting lodge if they fall short of expectations, if they receive negative reports for their services, their facility and the quality of the buck and birds they advertise for hunting on their land. The opposite is also true: a lodge renowned for good service, the abundance of wildlife and birds for the hunt, will certainly draw the attention to themselves – and ensure that they become a preferred destination.
