About Your Trip
Join us for the hunting trip of a lifetime, where the thrill of the hunt awaits! Our incredible package includes the opportunity to bag one meat hog weighing up to 174 lbs – an experience not to be missed for any hunting enthusiast! Additional hogs can be shot at a fee as well, but one is included in your booking. This hunt is catered to you; choose between the precision of a bow or the
power of a rifle. Hunters also have the option to hunt from a stand or, for those seeking a more active hunt, the spot and stalk method and swamp buggy hunts provide an exhilarating challenge. After your hunt relax at the rustic lodge and enjoy delicious meals all included in your booking. We recommend any caliber from .223 to a .30-.06, however the weapon of choice on our swamp buggy hunts is a .223 A/R platform with a red dot scope. We also offer loaner weaponry at no charge, although there is a charge for ammunition. Ian and his team provide private hunts for each party, and on his high fence ranch you are almost guaranteed a successful hunt,
On a typical hunt you will arrive, meet the guides, go through a 30 minute safety briefing and set the expectations for the hunt. Then you will head to Ian’s full service rifle range to test their aim before embarking on their adventure, which typically lasts around 4 hours but can go longer depending on the success of the hunt. You can expect to shoot hogs from 50-100 yards. After the hunt, head back to the lodge to wind down with some refreshments, and optionally you can tag along with Ian and his crew to watch them feed the alligators on his property, which is always a fun sight to see. Additionally, you’re welcome to utilize the gun range at any point during your stay. It is also very common to do multiple hunts during your stay, so check out Ian’s other listings to make this a combination adventure!
To make your hunting journey seamless and stress-free, we've taken care of the essentials. Once the hunt is done, our team will expertly clean and quarter the hog, ensuring you leave with your cooler fully packed, ready to savor the rewards of your successful adventure. We provide this service free of charge, but please bring a cooler for your bounty (we have ice).
Ian and his family have owned and hunted this ranch for 27 years, and they are eager to share with you the special experience of hunting on their property. Their knowledge of the terrain and years of expertise ensure that you will be well taken care of and maximize your time on their ranch.
