About Your Trip

On this epic Hog hunt with your outfitter, Mark, you'll venture out after dark to bag UNLIMITED feral pigs with thermal scopes. This is a spot and stalk style hunt, so shortly after dusk you’ll patrol the property in search of hogs. All weapons and thermal scopes will be provided. All you need for this hog hunt of a lifetime are proper clothing (long pants are recommended) and a good attitude! This is a private hunt, so you’ll have acres and acres of low fence farm land all to yourself.

This is a night hunt, so you'll get out there around 7 PM, or just after dusk, and spend around five hours stalking the hogs. Although there are no guarantees, Mark's hunts are extremely successful, and you can bag 10+ hogs on a given night. Typically you can expect to shoot from about 40 yards out, but that can vary all the way up to 100 yards. Mark also provides cleaning services free if charge, just make sure to bring a cooler and ice. Mark has over 20 years of experience hog hunting, and he is sure to provide you with a trip you won’t soon forget!

Captain Mark is one of the most experienced Alligator Gar fishing guides in the world, with over 35 years under his belt. He caught his first gar at just 11 years old while growing up in Houston, TX along Sims Bayou. A few years later, Captain Mark was introduced to bow fishing and discovered how exciting bow fishing could be, chasing Gar, Carp, Buffalo, Tilapia, Bullfrogs, and other species. The rest is history!

Mark is the outfitter every serious bowfisher wants. He won’t quit until he puts you on fish. Very very knowledgeable and a trip that we will never forget! We will be back!

To start, we booked the hunt with Mark and never met him. We went out with another person unbeknownst to us. When we got to the hunt we were told that we only had 3 guns to use, yet there were 5 of us on the hunt. There was only enough room for 3 people in the truck so 2 of us had to ride in the bed of the truck. We were told many excuses as to why we aren't seeing any hogs. We didn't see hogs till the last hour or hour and a half and only got to shoot at 2 groups. Then the hunt was over. We did shoot pigs but it was not what I expected for the money that we paid for the hunt. The guides, I don't feel were as professional as they should have been. As an avid hunter who has hunted many species in many states, I would not recommend this to anyone who is any sort of hunter. Overall, we did shoot pigs but everyone on the hunt was disappointed and feels cheated or scammed.

Response from Captain Experiences:

Hi Austin, thank you for this feedback. I'm sorry the trip did not live up to your expectations. Please give us a call so that we can collect some more information here. We will reach out to Mark to understand why there was not enough room and gear for your entire party. We'd also like to extend an offer code to you that can be applied to any of our trips around the world in...

For sure was not the trip of a lifetime nor worth all the money and extra expenses, didn’t end up shooting any hogs or seeing anything the first night nor did we get to even get to hunt hogs for the second night like planned due to weather however did have very friendly, accommodating and respectable guides all around.
