[QUOTE="Bang4theBuck, post: 3108630, member: 73596"] I've been on 2 different types of guided hog hunts. In one case (southern oklahoma) we arrived mid morning to a 150 acre high fence facility. We had a quick welcome meeting, and safety discussion and then got dressed for a spot and stalk type hunt. Granted, the guide know where the hogs like to hang out in the heat of the day, but what the heck....good fishing guides know where good fish hang out in certain conditions too. It wasnt as cheesy as it sounds. We had 6 guys and we got two pigs in the session. We then came back to the lodge, had lunch and a quick nap (long drive) and we went and sat in treestands over feeders that had timers on them to go.off at dusk. The pigs came in like a heard of Buffalo when the feeder went off, but we're very figitty and hard to settle on. It wasn't as easy as picking one and shooting. Also, after the feeders went off elsewhere, they started coming a d going into/out of the bait. It was fun to try to pick out a big one, or one with interesting color. We stayed overnight, and then went back out to treestands in the morning for the same experience. We all got atleast one pig. A couple of us got multiples. The second experience was also a semi-guided night time stand hunt over bait on the edge of a crop field. The outfitter simply provided the lodging and access to the baited blinds. You did your own cooking and all the care for any animals that you harvested. While this wasn't initially as much fun, because it was much more natural and much less 'opportunity', when we walked out to the hunting blind through a crop field that was not planted to bait pigs, but rather for traditional harvest by a hard-working farmer, the motivation and urgency factor increased significantly. This field, and I'm sure many like it were dessimated. It became more of a mission and less like recreation. Same outcome, but different experience, different number of opportunities, less cost, and yes, I would do it again. Best advice is to ask lots of questions and talk to references. Other advice would be to pay more not less on the first trip, as the cost is almost always relative to how much time/effort the outfitter is going to spend with you. If youve never done it before, having true guidance helps a lot with the experience. [/QUOTE]
