Not worth the time & money if flying in. Get the "free" hunt
I had thought I would be shooting wild pigs with scary big teeth and crazy hair. Not pigs released from some local farmer! I live in Wyo! I can easily get the meat from here! The food was great, exotic animals were neat. Please read the fine print about the $100 per hunter on arrival, processing fees $50 +; and if you are flying the cooler. Please also note that you will drive your own vehicle to the blinds, it is very muddy and tons of people get stuck. When we got pulled out, our rental car was damaged. The owner, Ranch Boss Steve, never returned our 3 calls

Find somewhere else.
Customer Service was good, and it was fun hunting hogs for the first time. However, there were a lot of hidden fees that cost us significantly more than expected when booking the trip. We were nickel and dimed on a lot of stuff, and had to stop our hunt a little early for financial reasons. Also we paid $100/person guide fee and a top was expected, even though the extent of the guiding was "go down to the end of the lane, turn right, and start walking." They also tell you to bring 100 lb. of corn per person, and then use maybe 1/4 of that during your hunt. I expect they do this to keep their cows fed for free, since there are at least a dozen cows on the ranch who eat the bait corn they put out for your pigs anyway. I am expecting to go hog hunting again, however it will not be here.
