I had the same experience with a hog hunt a couple of years ago. The guide/proprietor supposedly had hogs on his place...guaranteed. It turned out he had a 5 acre pen "just in case". The pen was actually an oversize wild hog trap where the anamals could get in but never get out. He could "gaurantee" you a hog but this is not hunting. No one in our party ever saw a free roaming hog. Its like shooting fish in a barrel ... a lesson learned about "guanteed hunts"!!!! Always ask before you book.
