In the past year I have been in the process of making several informational Bowhunting videos so have logged sevearal miles & Bowhunts for Exotics, Hogs & Javalina in Illinois, Texas & Oklahoma.
On a 1 to 5 star rating-5 being the best.
March 2003-Javalena with Jerry Gonzales (Perdenal Bowhunts)
Excellent-He provided the chances for Javis & I blew 2 perfect 20 yard shoots in the 3 days I was there. I did arrow a roaster hog thou the last day. Lodging 3 stars-hunting 5 stars.
Jan. 2003-Hogs with Coal Creek farms, Paris, Ill.. Pat has a great facility for just hog hunting-I took a real nice Boar the 1st day & was eating lunch by 1pm. 5 stars for the hunting.
March 2003-Hogs with the use of hounds-Ray Modisett, Diboll, Texas.
This was my 1st ever Bowhunt with the use of Hounds-I have to admit, of all my Bowhunts making these videos this was the most memorable & exciting-I took my largest Boar with Ray & his hounds 7M Boar Hunts.
food-lodging come with hunt-5 stars in every way.
April 2003-Hogs @ Shilo Ranch (Bowhunting only) near Ada, Oklahoma. I had a super hunt with Matt & Cheryl-they are super folks & have a excellent facility for Hogs & exotic Rams. I did not take a hog but did pass on a 20 yard shot at a 100+ pounder. I saw hogs at every sitting & could have taken a couple very nice Mouflan Rams during my stay-5 stars on the lodging, food & Bowhunting.
3 Hunts (16 days total) Sweetwater Creek, Decater, Texas (Bowhunting only-high fence-1000 acres) Exotics & hogs. This was my 1st Ranch for Exotics when I started this video series. The Exotic hunting is fabulous-the lodge is 1st class as is everything about this place. Jim Bob & Michael are the best of hosts. 5 stars on the Exotic hunting & lodging-2 stars on the Hog hunting.
I will hunt with all of these places again knowing my chances at taking an animal is good but not a sure thing-it is still Bowhunting.
Feel free to contact me on any of these places for more info. I AM a PAYING hunter-not a guest or free hunt. ahunter55@hotmail.com or
