Would I recommend this hunt to you: Yes Although this is a preserve hunt it was almost as good as in the wild.
Game spotted in area: Boar
Game Harvested: Trophy Boar this was the boar that was taken by my hunting partner. Going to do mine life size when I get a free moment.
Whether during hunt: Warm
Other hunters in camp: there was just the 2 of us.
Where they successful The deal here is it is a $50.00 deposit to book the hunt and this is NOT refundable, than you pay for what you shoot. Dave has two prices, a $200 hog and a $500.00 trophy hog. The $500.00 are about 300lbs or better. The $200 hogs are very nice and well worth the money, and the meat is real good.
Transportation supplied by outfitter: David takes you into the hunt area in his truck which is equipped with dog boxes and a hoist to lift up your Hog.
Care of trophy: David is very good at skinning and gutting the hogs
General Comments: These are superior quality hogs, in fact these are the hogs World Champion Taxidermist & Hog sculpture Rick Carter uses as reference. What you want to keep in mind if you want a mount is to try and go when it is still cold, because their hide will be in prime shape, they will shed some of their hair in the warm weather.
