Just returned from a hunt at 4 Amigos Ranch and I gotta tell you, I had the time of my life! Staff was personable, friendly, professional (with the right amount of ball busting) and willing to go out of their way to get you in an area/blind to get what ever animal you wish.
Our group had 16 people in it and we were never crowded or bored. The club house has a pool table, poker table & TV. The cook puts together some amazing meals (which is included in the hunt cost) and Dan (the owner) along with 3 of his guides made sure we had a ton of time out on the property hunting. Our trip was 3 days and I can safely say, each day we spent a minimum of 12 hours out on the property in a blind, or in a truck looking for the herd of an exotic animal you wish you shoot.
There is a shooting range there (believe it goes to 300 yards) to sight your rifle in when you arrive. From arrival to sitting in a blind was just over 2 hours. That's fast hunting service!
Word for the wise, if you are planning on hunting at 4 Amigos, bring a large caliber rifle. I brought a .308, others a 7mm08, 6.5 Grendal, and 28 Nosler. I can personally say, a .308 is probably the bare minimum of what you should bring. I watched a hog get shot with a .308, to the head, fall down and get back up. They are amazing animals and can take the punishment.
The hunt cost covers 2 hogs, you just have to pay a skinning fee for each. After that each additional hog is $125. More than a fair price i feel. I shot the largest hog on the trip, 160 pounds and the smallest, 20 lbs. From those i brought back around 50ish pounds of meat. Don't plan on doing anything more than shooting the hog and helping to drag it to the truck (if you want). They will skin, de-bone and pack the meat for you, which they flash freeze for you. Can't beat it!
There are also many exotic animals there you can shoot (for a fee of course). Axis, Black Buck, Red Stag, Rams, Aoudad Rams, Buffalo, Elk to name a few.
I am an avid Pennsylvanian White Tail Deer hunter, and this was my first guided hunt. I learned so much from the guides about the animals, their habits, where they originate from, etc. Great great first experience of a guided hunt!! I plan to return next year. 5 Star rating for Dan, his guys and the cook! read more
