NitroX, These are very informal, fun hunts amoung a few friends (DRSS)! The Ranch it's self is 16,000 acres, and the Russian Boar, varments, and native deer roam free over it all. The land is very hilly, and covers river bottom, as well as Yopon Holly bush that is so thick you can't see three feet in front of you, with about 100 ft, open lanes cut through it, leaving alternating lanes of holly, and open seeded with coastal bermuda grass for cattle grazing. There is a 1000 acre high fence area, in the middle of the ranch, with exotics, and Boar as well, as native deer. The land inside the High fence is exactly like the land outside the fence. The exotics are not overly bothered by the sight of a vehicle, but get out of it, and it is a run away at once. The Eland are hunted pritty hard, so are very spooky, and if hunted on foot, they are a real fun hunt, not to mention the meat is excelent. We usually hunt Cows, as they are a lot cheaper to hunt. When handicaped by being on foot, and the yopon, as well as the boggs along the river, and the creeks, and hunting with a double rifle, it makes for a great get together!

If you are one to hunt from a car, with a long range rifle, then this is not a real hunt for the exotics,like any place the animals are not overly excited by the sight of a hunting car, as long as you don't get too close. The Boar, however, are hunted by everyone in this part of the state, and are wild as hell. They run at the sight of a car.

At the last shoot, the day fee was $100 per day, which includes guide,to drop you in areas to hunt, and return to pick you up at a predetermined place, and time, for the Boar, but the exotics he guides you, to witness the kill, or wounding. Blood drawn, he belongs to you. Lodging,in a large clean bunk house, where you bring food, and cook for yourself, is included.

There are trophy fees for what you shoot. A cow Eland is, or was $700, and the Boars $100 each

Other exotics include Wildebeast,Impala,bush buck,zebra, amoung others. Also, there are all manner of varments on the ranch like coyote, fox, raccoon,oposum, bobcat. The prices for the exotics are available from the ranch! I don't have the phone number handy, but can get it if anyone wants it!

Hope this answers some questions!
