I actually went with Trey. I spoke with both, and they were nice guys, but the hunting trip was an absolute bust! I was told that there would definitely be some birds there, which I assumed was the spot was scouted. I was taking my little boy on his second ever hunt. I only had 1 dove come over and I had to make a miraculous shot just to get him! The spot was supposed to be a water hole, which I'm very experienced with in my 45 years of hunting doves. The water was not a water hole, but more like a group of ponds, which is more for waterfowl than dove. Dove need A (ONE) water hole so they come to that spot. Doves could have come in and drank their fill without even being in gun range! I know that doves are usually not as plentiful in the second part of the season, but I probably saw a total of maybe 8 in the vast area. One guy who was either hunting because it was his land, or a guide who wanted to hunt, but he was on the opposite side a good way away, and he said he got 9!! I guess the best spots are known by the guide or land owner and chose that for himself. I just know he was not a customer like me and my 8 year old boy, and it's a shame I wasn't at least put there. If 2 doves came in range, that would be DOUBLE what I could get for my little boy. People know that if you have doves one week, that can change the next. But scouting a day or two before would let you know that. So, I paid $97 for a motel, gas, and $165 for a "guided" dive hunt. So I got a about a $300 dove. But I was glad to get out of Houston for the day, and the bonding with my son at the motel was nice, but the dove hunt was very disappointing, guys said they saw doves, but I guarantee it was not within a few days my my trip, or they saved the spot for those 9 birds for the privileged. Should have been for a customer. I would for mine. Like I said, nice guys, but clearly NOT advertised truthfully. I'm to experienced to know what happened. I trusted, and got burned. Once trust is lost, good luck getting it back. Shame, because I really wanted to start a tradition. Personally I liked the guys, but business wise, I think I was not considered to important because I was just a daddy and his little boy. Being affable is why I decided to give 2 stars. But I can get that at the A&M Football Games!

Response from Cody:

We appreciate all reviews good & bad. While this is a well written review i feel there is some misleading information. Our Guide Trent placed you in an area that was fit to your capabilities requested. He provided, set out mojos/decoys and gave multiple advised spots to move to if first location was stale. I (cody) told you multiple times on the phone that you would not have near your dilly experience and that you...

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hey Bradley - We’re sorry to hear that the hunt was a bit of a letdown for you and your son. It’s incredibly important to get kids interested in the outdoors, and it’s always tough when the birds don’t cooperate. We’ve reached out privately to talk about a discount on a future trip and hopefully we can get your son back out there and on some dove!
