I hunted at Jeff's (www.huntingwithjeff.com)place last December. I had a great time.

Food was great (elk stew, yum); lodging excellent.

Plus great guides, friendly service, and all-around a lot better than I expected, to be honest.

In terms of game, there was tons of it. Hogs everywhere; whitetail deer as common as squirrels in a city park.

I'm not a very experienced big-game hunter, but I shot a small hog that was really tasty.

I'd go back there anytime.

The only downside--it's a big commercial operation. I think there were 26 other hunters the weekend I went. We only saw each other at mealtimes, but still, that's a big operation.

Because of all the people out there,they have some rules such as once you're in a stand, you stay there till they come get you. They don't want guys wandering around (and given the nasty nature of South Texas brush country, that's probably a good idea anyway).

If it weren't so far from my house (about an 8-hour drive), I'd go as often as I could.
