I found these guys on the internet and was hoping to get some information from anyone that has hunted with them. The place is http://www.mcohunts.com/hogs.htm. I is a relative short drive from where we are in Arizona. and looks like a good place just never know by reading off the web page. Never rode a bull, but have shot some.

I have not hunted with them but I did drive out to the ranch and talk to them when I was looking as leasing a pasture. I also know someone else who leased a pasture from them. They seem okay to me but I was looking at deer more than hogs. I suggest you email or call them and see what they say. It will probably be a lot different than a South Texas or Hill Country hunt. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

I don't know anything about them but $900 a day for two hunters and maybe (not clear from their web page) one hog each is on the upper end of hog hunting prices. xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

+1 on that. | |||

That is way more than I was charging about 5-6 years ago when I was offering hog hunts--but then prices have gone up, and my accommodations were spartan but OK. An old pilot, not a bold pilot, aka "the pig murdering fool" | |||

Not to but in, but depending on when you are interested in putting the hunt together give this guy a call and he might be able to put something together at a little better price.

Gotta agree with Gato -- that is on the high end for hogs. "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid." JWP If stupidity hurt, a lot of people would be walking around screaming. Semper Fidelis "Building Carpal Tunnel one round at a time" | |||

+1 with Gato, et al...... That is way on the high end. For that kind of money you should be shooting 100% eurasian trophy boars. I see they also charge $1200 for a 2 on 1 turkey hunt?? It might be best to spend a little more on gas. If time and distance are critical, go for it. Kind of like getting bread and milk at 7/11.

To be fair, they have a lot of country, low hunting pressure, and do more spot-and-stalk than a lot of other places I have seen. There are of course a huge number of places that offer hog hunts. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Thanks for the replys, I am retired so my time is my own but the boys have jobs so they are restricted as to how much time off they can get. We have hunted in west Texas a couple of time and have had poor luck people were nice but hogs went south (they must have known we were coming). Don't mind spending money if I can get some return on it. Crazyhorse, I will contact your friend and see what he has to offer. I am open to all suggestions on hunts but would like to stay in the central to west Texas areas. Never rode a bull, but have shot some.

It is a longer drive, but there are also the Cook Ranch and the Nail Ranch in the Albany area. http://www.stasneyscookranch.com/Hunting.html http://www.nail-ranch.com/new/hunts.html I hunted in the area a number of years ago and properly managed it can be pretty good. I do not know that any place has a lock on pigs as they can become nocturnal or move on under hunting pressure. I hunted places where you could see 20-50 a day right up until you put the heavy pressure on them, then they would only come out after dark. A good place will give you a pretty accurate assessment of how things are now. You could also see if there are any leads at Texas Boars. ------------------------------- Some Pictures from Namibia Some Pictures from Zimbabwe An Elephant Story | |||

Im and helping my father (Rolland) decide on an outfitter for hogs. Does anyone know anything about the Dos Plumas Ranch operation near Abiline, TX. I see alot of articles from there on the web and google searches yield some good reviews. | |||

I personally know two people that hunted Dos Plumas. One was several years ago with a brother and uncle. They hated it and swore never to return. The second is a friend that took his son last year (maybe year before last). He spent two days, killed two hogs, and really enjoyed himself. Though I'm not familiar with the place myself, I have to wonder (based on the two strikingly dissimilar experiences) if there was a management change between the two trips. _____________________ A successful man is one who earns more money than his wife can spend. | |||

Allan, Your sparkling conversation and hospitality more than made up for that funky shower out on the back of the "lodge". As long as we had an electric plugin for the camper to run some A/C, we were good to go. J.J. and I still talk about that trip. Good luck and God bless. Jon In Tucson. Shoot Straight and Vote! | |||

Well, this may be too far away for you boys, but you might look at their website. www.lazyrhunts.com/ Chris runs a good operation. It's all the hogs you want to shoot, plus 1 javelina, coyotes, bobcats, etc. We took 6 hogs and 2 javelinas while there. I flubbed a shot on a coyote, and couldn't get on a bobcat, quick enough.

That is pretty steep for hog hunting. In fact it is even more expensive than CA. In CA, I expect higher prices than TX becuase of the cost of land and living...plus supply and demand. We just don't have a lot of hunting opportunties. In CA, you can expect to pay $225-$250 a day per hunter and a $300 take fee per pig. Mike Legistine actu quod scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

We use to do hog hunts $150 per hog and after that it was $75 for each other hog. $900 is too much "Let me start off with two words: Made in America" | |||
