    Arizona Desert Mule Deer
    Alaska Blacktail Deer (3 tags each)
    Heck even Alaska Caribou and most western Elk hunts can be had reasonably cheap.

    What's the budget, and what's the animal preference and you can go from there!

    You can do a Canadian black bear hunt for WELL under $1000 a piece. Not sure on US prices, or license availability though. Pronghorn is another inexpensive one. I bet you could contact a few ranchers and get permission for little or no cost as well.

    I could most likely set you up pretty cheap with a Maine black bear hunt next fall, not sure if you'd be interested in that?
