Hog Hunting Nightmare!!!!!

[HunterOpel]

This really seems to be the trend in Texas, REALLY BAD HOG HUNTING GUIDES!!!
I know there are some good ones but C R Outfitters isnt one of them..They are out of college station, Texas.. He sells hunts on ebay, Unlimited Hogs and Predators, He told me that we would be only ones in camp since we were hunting 5 days Monday thru Friday..There were 10 hunters in camp, 8 never saw a hog, 2 did and one killed a 40#er, Horrible camp, and only 2 meals, one was under cooked chicken and one was a pancake on a stick, no lodge..Campers, they werent to bad..It was a nightmare, he made $5000.00 that week for one 40# hog, expensive pork..pic of camp

Wow, I would have asked for my money back. Before I ever go on a paid hunt I want to know what my chances are of seeing an animal. Also, I ask if they have feeders I will be hunting over,do they have blinds,stands etc... I also look at the pics of the animals they have recently hunted and ask for previous hunters contact info to see what they liked and didn't.

I hate to see anyone get burned on a deal like this. I have heard good things about this place http://www.doubledoubleranch.com/

I have filed a complaint with the texas attorney generals office and states attorney, the morning we left the owner and guide were gone..Oh he had a good talk, lots of feeders and seeing tons of hogs is what he told us, he said everyone leaves with at least 3 hogs and lots of varmints..He had pics of lots of hogs, but when we got there the owner and guides were the one in the pics, we talked to the guy they lease there ground from and he said the first 2 years they shot lots of hogs, the Owner..Not the hunters..I only saw one set of tracks in 5 days and it was after the 3 in rain they got..He would leave us in the stands 4-8 hours longer then we wanted, he left 2 of us all night, I was p_ssed off and he knew it so he left only seen him twice the whole time..It was BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

..I only saw one set of tracks in 5 days and it was after the 3 in rain they got..

I have had better luck than that hunting by myself on Public Lands in California (only 5% of hogs taken in California are killed on Public lands) so I can imagine howunhappy you must be with those kind of results on what was advertised as a guided hunt on private lands. The California DFG keeps a list of approved guides and their specialties that is available on the DFGwebsite. I do not know how thoroughly the State checks the guides'credentials or what kind of standards they use but it probably offers some protection against the absolutely miserable guide it sounds like you got stuck with. You might want to check with the Texas DFG and see if they also keep a list of approved guides and file a complaint with them if they do.
