Been there a couple times.The Good; He has some hogs, alot of hogs from what a saw.And we killed pigs everytime we were there.There is absolutley nothing for them animals to eat except the Feeder....so when it goes off they come in waves.If your patient the bigger ones stroll in later.
The Bad: Every Hog and i do mean every hog we killed was covered in Fleas.Tons of them.They ate our butts up and i even manged to bring a few home with me to give to the dogs. The cleaning station was horid dude.Im usually not put off by much but the cleaning station was more like a gut pile of old nasty hog parts that hasnt been cleaned in weeks.There is a cabin ....well a 10x10 building with cold A/C and that was a plus but the only running water was a garden hose near the cleaning station.And the Crapper! Well i would say hold it and head back to town to the gas station on the corner.And thats all i have to say about that subject.
All in all its an ok place .Some things are great and others suck real bad.Danny is a nice guy but he is always busy and stuck us with his 12 yr old boy to drive us around and he was mildly annoying.I say for the money and the oppurtunity go for it just dont expect much else.

they are good guys and you will get hogs.. great opp for bow as they have close stands.
i have started taking off or wasp killer and spray any hogs before i touch them. it sends the fleas flying and kills the ticks too.
as for the gut pile, i have been there when you didnt even notice it, and other times when its hot, that the smell can be tough. if they keep it cleaned up, then its fine.
prices are good and success is high. i will even say its a fun hunt and not a guarantee or a penned shoot.

Went and saw everything but a hog, did get a couple with dogs (for guys who hadn't done it before). Cleaning station had guts and carcass everywhere. I was really turned off because it seemed more like i was hunting in a zoo. There was no foliage other that cedar trees (no grass just bare dirt). They said I could come back and hunt for the same price $100 for 2 hogs (1/2 up front). I'm not going back, not my cup of tea.

Well, once again, there are alot of people who want to pay to kill something and then are not happy about the facilities or amenities. You get more than you pay for with a $125 hog hunt. You will see pigs. You will kill a pig, if you are a good shot. Danny has made a few changes to the place and has improved the quality of the hunts quite a bit. The number one complaint was about the cleaning station. Danny has corrected that issue. The stands are comfortable. Game abounds. The flea thing? Well, Danny traps animals all over the place and has no control over that. It does not make sense to sell hunts as cheap as he does only to have to turn around and spend that money on de-lousing animals. I have killed a few pigs there and have never dealt with the flea thing. Sounds to me that the guy who dealt with the fleas also killed a couple of animals, so he got what he paid for. The ranch is close, game is plentiful, shot opportunities are there, and the price is right. I have never met anyone that did not see anything. The pigs hit the feeders in the evenings. Good luck. Let me know and I will go with you.

I am just a guy that pays to hunt pigs at his place from time to time.
