Reviewer Comments: Feeders were either broken or empty. This was my 5th hog hunt in the US, and the ONLY time I've even been skunked. We didn't even SEE a single pig, even after dropping corn and coming back to shine after dark. The "bunk house" where we slept was the same quarters they use to house the illegals when they come to work around the ranch. It was filthy and in terrible disrepair. The linens hadn't even been changed...there was sand in the bedsheets. I booked this particular hunt because of the accomadations pictured on their website...I took my wife. We didn't stay in the 'main' house (the one seen in the photos)because the owner of the ranch had apparently unexpectedly returned. Plan B was to put us where the migrants slept. They didn't even have an archery target for clients to check their sights after traveling. I had to use a beer can. The first morning we had 13 Javelina come into the corn that the guide had put out. We didn't shoot as we were there for hogs. When the guide came to pick us up we told him what we saw and he asked why we hadn't shot. We were never told that javelina were a specie that we could take, much less be counted as our "hogs". We hunted HARD day and night and never saw a pig. I did finally launch a few arrows at the javelina just so that I could have SOMETHING to take home to show for my efforts. They've got access to a great piece of property, but the management leaves ALOT to be desired. In talking to the guide and the hands, it sounds like they are in the middle of a big political turmoil, and we came right in the middle of it. Everybody knows what is best for te operation, but no one wants to put the effort forth to do it. Lots of finger pointing.

Ohio Hunting Information
Ohio is best known for its trophy whitetail deer. In fact, the world record non-typical whitetail was harvested in Greene county by Mike Beatty in November 2001,
Manitoba Hunting Information
Manitoba is known as a top destination for avid waterfowl hunters. Huge flocks of ducks and geese can be found from the Arctic coast of Hudson Bay to the prairie potholes on the southern border of this Canadian province. There is no legal requirement for non-resident waterfowl hunters to use a guide, but many are available and a high percentage of non-Canadian hunters utilize them. In addition black bear, Canada moose and whitetails are hunted throughout the province.
Utah Hunting Information
Utah has recently been outstanding for trophy elk, but the best tags take many years to draw. Utah does have conservation tags available for purchase that allow hunters to bypass the drawing. Given the high demand for these premium tags prices can be high. In the past Utah has been a top trophy mule deer state but recently only a handful of units consistently produce B&C caliber deer.
