Ian and his team provide private hunts for each party, and on his high fence ranch you are almost guaranteed a successful hunt. Lodging and meals are not included in this package, but check out Ian's other listings if interested in an overnight stay.

On a typical hunt you will arrive, meet the guides, go through a 30 minute safety briefing and set the expectations for the hunt. Then you will head to Ian’s full service rifle range to test their aim before embarking on their adventure, which typically lasts around 4 hours but can go longer depending on the success of the hunt. You can expect to shoot hogs from 50-100 yards. After the hunt, head back to the lodge to wind down with some refreshments, and optionally you can tag along with Ian and his crew to watch them feed the alligators on his property, which is always a fun sight to see. Additionally, you’re welcome to utilize the gun range at any point during your stay. It is also very common to do multiple hunts during your stay, so check out Ian’s other listings to make this a combination adventure!

To make your hunting journey seamless and stress-free, we've taken care of the essentials. Once the hunt is done, our team will expertly clean and quarter the hog, ensuring you leave with your cooler fully packed, ready to savor the rewards of your successful adventure. We provide this service free of charge, but please bring a cooler for your bounty (we have ice).
