FAQ’s

                   Do I need a hunting license?

                   No license is required on a private preserve.

                  What kind of gun should I use?                                               

                  Any kind is permitted, but we recommend:

                  Handgun 357 Mag  cal.  or greater

                  Muzzleloader 45 cal.        “       “

                  Rifle  243 caliber               “       “

                  Shotgun 12 ga. w/OOB    “       “

                  Note:  Your shot will generally be 75 yards or less.

                  Do I need to wear orange?                                         

                  Yes.  All hunters must wear an orange hat AND vest. 

                  The exception would be if the weekend is a designated

                  ALL BOWHUNTER weekend, then camo clothing is allowed.

                  Should I bring a lunch?                                                

                  Lunch is not provided.

                  You can either bring your own or trip out for excellent

                  pizza & sandwiches, 5 minutes away.

                 Can I bring a treestand?                                              

                  Yes, climbers are permitted as long as they do not harm the trees.

                  HOWEVER, we have found that slow stalking works the best.

                 Can I bring my ATV?                                                     

                 Yes, with prior approval and a signed waiver.

                 We do have ATVs on site to help get you into the preserve (if you need it)

                 and to get your trophy out.

                 When is the best time to hunt?                                

                 Anytime is good, as we will always have an ample supply of boars

                 worth shooting.  If you wait until Fall/Winter, the boars will have started

                 putting on their winter coats (which is nice for mounting), but you run the

                 risk that the dates are booked or that the nicest boars may have been taken.

                 Do you take credit cards?                                           

                 Yes, we accept Visa & MasterCard and AMEX.  Personal checks are

                 only accepted for deposits, as they take 2 weeks for bank processing.

                 Cash is always welcome.

                How much is meat processing?                                

                The standard processing fee for boar is $105 which includes skinning and

                transport to the butcher.  There is a slight extra charge for seasoned sausage

                (but it is highly recommended! )  You will fill out a form with your choice of

                cuts prior to us dropping the meat off at the butcher.  You will be responsible

                for arranging pick up.  Payment is required in advance.

                 I have never hunted wild boar before.

                Are they dangerous?

                Yes they are.  Wild boars are just that, WILD!  However,

                they are not blood thirsty.  Most will avoid you, but a few

                are downright mean and nasty and will take offense at you

                being in their yard.  They might charge at you. If they bite or

                “hook” you with their razor sharp tusks, you will get hurt. 

                In our safety briefing we will talk about what to look for, what

                to stay away from and what avoidance techniques you can use

                if you have an encounter.  With a little common sense you should

                not have any problems, and a guide will be with you.
