I agree with tomsbass...HUNTERS CREEK RANCH! You will see tons of hogs...but do not go in there thinking it's a "canned hunt". These hogs are smart and see a lot of pressure. Use the wind in your favor!! Stay past sunset. You'll get your hogs!! Plus the price is right!!!
Love this place!

Moore's Hilltop Ranch Review:
ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE STAY AWAY!!! I called to make a reservation for a youth turkey hunt for my son and Moore's immediately asked for my credit card, I found it odd they needed it right then and not the day I hunted, but they claimed it was to hold my spot; ok I said "But I still need to confirm with my wife to ensure we will be here that day because we have another trip around the same time." After talking with my wife right after I reserved the hunt she informed me we were not going to be back until the day after I made the hunt reservation. I called Moore's, less than an HOUR after I had reserved, and he said he had already charged my card which I NEVER AUTHORIZED and the hunt was still weeks away! He was incredibly rude at this point and annoyed and said he would have to credit back my card but it would take 60 days! On top of that I would be charged a $7.00 fee to get my money back and then he just hung up! I emailed him explaining I should not be responsible to pay anything, especially because I TOLD HIM I WOULD CHECK WITH MY WIFE AND CALL BACK, because I knew we had plans around the same time. Moore's email was so incredibly rude, he kept saying it cost a fee to credit the card back and that's my responsibility not theirs (I never authorized them to run my card!). I called my bank after 4 weeks of waiting for my refund of the $200+ dollars he charged me on top of the fee. After all said and done, my bank never saw his refund and I ended up having to file an claim and my bank had to refund my payment. I repeat STAY AWAY THEY ARE CRIMINALS!!!

EDIT: I did a google and their website actually says you lose that deposit under certain conditions, but it sounds like the guy was trying to be considerate seeing as how you called back within a hour or two. Here is their policy right off their website and it was highlighted so as to be very visible: Deposits are non-refundable, unless hunter can be replaced at full price with MHR's consent. It is not MHR’s obligation to replace hunter if cancellation takes place. Cancellation can result in credit towards rebooking within one year of the date of cancellation if approved by MHR.

outfitter
I don't know if you ever make it to Alabama, but we did a hunt with an outfitter that was awesome. I'd recommend them to anybody:

Moores Hunting Ranch is a Scam
Paul Moore a so called outfitter HA! More like a scam artist.
Here is why
I am the Pro Staff Director for a TV Hunting show called the The American Outdoorsman and I have been all over the Southern states and Texas hog hunting. Seen many ranches and outfitters. This guide Paul is here and runs a substandard operation and way over charges for what it is.
Moores Ranch is a very nice ranch but is set up for deer. There is a hog fence around the whole property to keep hogs out. Spent 3 days and nights here. And not a single animal. No hogs, no sign of hogs, Paul the guide filled the feeders the day we got here for hunt. Paul needs to be let's go from his services because he is making Moores Ranch look bad. I will make sure that all forms of social media are aware of this scam.
There is a barn to sleep in and it's full of trash and human poop, totally a health hazard. Feeders here some work some don't. Some have motion lights that work and some that don't. I can go on it I will mention it on the show and our YouTube channel.
YELP and the Texas Hog Hunting Association have been notified already. BBB forms are being filled out and we have gotten a Lawyer to sue to get a full refund.
The worst part of the whole thing is there were 4 veterans, two are disabled. And we hunted hard, day and night for 3 days and nights. We saw nothing but poachers

Worst Ranch
From the owner is the TV Show Jim Mueller
The American Outdoorsman TV Show sent its senior pro staff member and 4 other hunters to this ranch to hunt hogs. It was one of the worst, if not the worst, experience our of 28 year history on air. They went there to hunt hogs. Not only did they not see any hogs (that is hunting) but no sign of hogs around the feeders and the perimeter of the ranch was fenced to keep hogs out. BUYER BEWARE! Watch The American Outdoorsman Show for more details on this ranch and this story
