trip description for Bow Hunting Hogs! in Nixon

Unlike other ranches that have a structured schedule as far as hunting times go, Robert and his team are here to help you hunt the schedule you want to hunt. But typically: Your group will get up in the morning and have a light breakfast and coffee. You will head out to the stands and get settled 30 minutes before the feeders turn on. Practice drawing back and aiming at the target area a time or two to assure there are no draw or sight obstructions. Your shooting distance typically will be between 15 and 25 yards. It is very likely that you will see both exotics and hogs coming into shooting range. Pick a target, relax, and take your shot. After you retrieve your animal, the ranch has a 4X4 available to pick it up and bring your game back to the cabin. There is an available walk-in cooler which you can use to store your game, or you can use one of the two electric hoists to start skinning it. Trip includes 2 hogs per day, a total of 4 hogs. Extra hogs can be shot at $150 per hog. Some groups like to eat lunch at the cabin, and some take the 10-minute drive and eat in town. Although challenging, in the afternoon you can walk the ranch and do some spot and stock hunting. The evening hunts will be similar to the morning hunt. Bring a good flashlight in case you take a shot with little remaining light to aid during the retrieval process. Many groups will cook dinner at the cabin, have a drink and enjoy sharing hunting stories of the day around the campfire. Read More

    Aaron knows the lakes around Austin and has plenty of material onboard. We catched several fishes while weather conditions where difficult. Additionaly he was flexible and changed the trip date to get a better weather window. Aaron fits your expectations and is very friendly. I definetly recommend.

    Pierre-Alain S. with Aaron L. of Austin, Texas

  • ★★★★★
    We had a great experience with Captain Kevin. He has a great rig, great personality and put us on enough Large Mouth to please me. I took my 10 year old son because he said he wanted to catch a large mouth. Kevin came through with an extra life jacket too (I forgot one for my son). One hiccup was we were going to meet at different lake but they closed it due to the horrible drought we are in. Kevin audibled and we meet at Lake Bastrop which was more convenient for me anyway. I would definitely recommend this easy to use app and would definitely hire Captain Kevin again. He had everything we needed and got us catching fish quickly. He is really good with kids too!

    My experience was wonderful with Captain Kevin! He texted a couple days before the trip to ask if we could head out earlier than our scheduled time due to the heat and go try to beat the weekend rush of recreational boaters. So I met him at the boat ramp, which was very easy to find, at 6:15 and we headed out. The first place we fished was where we caught the biggest fish, pictured below, in the first 20 minutes of fishing. Things were a little slow the rest of the day, but we caught probably around a dozen fish, targeting and catching a variety of different species. . Captain Kevin was extremely friendly, and knows more about fishing than just about anybody I’ve met. He knew I’m a beginner, and was very kind and patient in teaching me and explaining everything to me. We swapped stories, got to know each other, and had the most wonderful time. I would highly recommend fishing with Captain Kevin.
