How much should I expect to tip?
All tips are just that, a tip, and should only be left if you are completely satisfied with the service our staff performed for you. The
suggested tip for your guide is 20% of your hunt, but again this is totally up to you. We prefer for hunter’s to tip their guide
directly. The tip for the staff (kitchen, hostesses and housekeeping) of $60 per hunter will be collected in the office at check out
time. If you have any suggestions, compliments or complaints, please do so at check out time, as we are always seeking
suggestions for improvements to our operation!
What should I bring?
We have a skeet range and provide clay targets, so you can bring your shot gun. We also have a shooting range. We have
ponds stocked with catfish (catch/release program) and provide limited fishing gear, but you are welcome to bring your own. Do
not forget a jacket, hunting weapon, ammo, binoculars, eye protection, ear protection, insect repellent & sunscreen. If you are a
bow or pistol hunter please bring cover up scent to eliminate any odor for close range encounters.
What to expect on my hunt?
Hog hunts are 1-guide to 4- hunters and are performed from blinds (ground and elevated) overlooking feeders with some having
LED night lights. Your guide will drop you off at your blind and pick you back up twice a day, morning & evening. The average
shooting distance is 100 to 150 yards. The hogs we hunt range anywhere from 30 to 300 pounds, however the average hog
harvested weighs between 100 to 150 pounds. Our hog hunts allow you to harvest up to 3 hogs up to 150 lbs each. Additional
hogs up to 150 lbs can be taken at an additional $100 each. Trophy hogs 151 lbs to 199 lbs are an additional $200 each.
Trophy hogs 200 lbs plus are an additional $300 each. We suggest using a .243 rifle or larger with some sort of illuminated cross
hair because most of the hogs are harvested in low light conditions.
Deer hunts are 1 on 1, you will have a guide with you in your blind and in the field to help you estimate age and score of your
potential trophy and also to direct you on the doe we would like you to harvest. Management bucks are up to139” and no more
than 8 points. Any buck with over 8 points will have a minimum trophy fee of $4,000 depending on the scoring.
Exotic hunters will have guides with them while hunting to help identify species and to aid in judging trophy quality of your
desired species.
Dove Hunts- You will be placed in your area to hunt and beverages will be delivered from a golf cart as needed, once finished
with your hunt we will bring you back to the lodge and clean and bag your birds. We have a 6-stand skeet range for practice and
fun while at the lodge. You may only have 2-bag limits in your possession after the first day, if you are hunting more than two
days we recommend letting us cook & serve birds to you to keep you eligible for more than two hunts. If you need help retrieving
your birds we have a few retrievers available, just let us know.

We offer Rifle, Crossbow, bow, muzzle loader and hand gun hunts. All hunters will be required to shoot their weapons at our
range before the hunt can begin. Please let us know if you are an archer or pistol hunter so we can have our bow blinds ready
for you at least two weeks in advance of your hunt.
What should I wear?
We recommend camouflage. You should wear snake leggings during the spring and summer because though there is very little
walking this is a good precaution when stalking or tracking.
Please check our weather link which is located on the home page of our website to help you with what type of clothing to bring.
