How much would you pay?
Ok, I'm going on a hog hunt in south Texas. I won the hunt in a raffle, but to make it better, I bought a second hunt for my sister. She is questioning the value of my dollar. Personally, I think she should shut up and be happy. But she raised an interesting question.
The hunt is for unlimited hogs. The outfitter provides a place to stay, drives you to your stand, and will quarter your hog, if requested. This is a bowhunting only ranch. You have to provide your own food and bedding. They have feeders they keep full all year. They put red lights on the feeders so you can hunt at night. They also provide tower stands, if you wish to use them. They charge $75 per day - 2 day minimum.
Is that fair? I mean, would you pay that for this type of hunt or would you expect more service?

Im a hog hunting outfitter. Check out my website and look at my prices they are higher than what you are facing, but i think there is a big difference. I guarantee success where most unlimited game hunts you rarely see hogs.

Let us know how it turns out. $75 a day is the cheapest I have seen in Texas so far.
No offense texasaggie, but your prices seem out of line to me, especially for an animal that is considered a pest in Texas. $125 per day would be reasonable, but the $1 per pound above 100# "trophy fee" is not something I'm willing to pay regardless if it's "guaranteed" or not.

Man, You can't stay in a crappy hotel for that much. Plus you get to shoot all the hogs you want. Please!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'd bring me a cot, sleeping bag and some food and have a blast.
