I found the Double P Ranch through a friend Marty that guides pheasants hunts for the lodge. I've been to lodges all over the country and state. The Double P is about as legit as they come. Meals are prepared 3 times a day and there is always a pot of some amazing soup going you can help yourself to. The upstairs is stocked with all the drinks you could want. I've been 4 times now and it is a yearly tradition for us. We Bow hunt deer, shoot ducks, pheasant and goose all on the same trip. All of which is just spectacular. If weather limits one kind of hunting, we do the other. They have both hotel room style rooms in the lodge as well as cabins for larger groups. All the hunting is phenomenal. read more

Great experience. Went with a group of 7, we all loved it. Pheasant hunting was good, Mongo, our guide was great. Food was very good for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff was all very courteous and helpful. Lodge was very good, especially the downstairs bar, pool table, poker table, etc. Will recommend to friends interested in Pheasant Hunting or even those that have never tried it - most in my group were newbies and all had a great time. read more

Quality Poor to fair Facilities Very good Service Poor to fair Unprofessional and false advertisement are a few things that come to mind when I think of my time at Double P Ranch. I would like to take a few moments to discuss my experience in an abbreviated fashion. First, let me discuss the pros and believe it or not there are quite a few despite my intro into this review: Pros: - Facilities are great, by far in the top 5 hunting lodges I have ever been at. - Great amenities included (pool table, foosball, Satellite, bedding, etc). - friendly and welcoming - competitive pricing - Snow goose guide Chad was friendly and informative and worked hard to ensure we got birds - Chef Chris did an amazing job on the meals that were cooked - immediately greeted and offered lunch before we could take our shoes off. - offers many types of hunts such as pheasant, coyote, snow goose, white tail and fishing Where it all goes wrong... Cons: - The proprietor of the lodge appeared to be drunk most of the time my hunting party was there. - was offered to come out Ice fishing free of charge on the day we arrived, but all Double P Ranch Staff and "fishing guide expert" were fishing in heated enclosures while my brother, father and I were left out in sub zero weather for many hours fishing. We were offered an ability to to warm up but were never offered to fish inside the ice house. - when the Proprietor, Cyrus, was asked about the poor conditions during fishing stated that my Family and I were drunk on the ice and just not into "it" so we had a "bad time". Not true. We arrived, unpacked and went directly out on the ice. We were not drunk after a 6 hour car ride... - Staff is unfamiliar with terrain, my family and I spent over 2 hours digging and towing guides and owners vehicles out of a service road to the lake we were fishing on. - Double P Ranch and Cyrus boasted about a 3 meal chef experience. day 1 and day 2 breakfast was not offered and we ate gas station burritos before we went to the blinds. - Amazing lunches, per their website, were to be provided. I quote an example lunch from te website: "Blackened chicken Panini... with pepper jack, spinach, onions and creole mayo" it was 2 lunches of cold cuts on wonder bread or wheat bread with mayo... not what I paid for, nor was it ever mentioned on the website there would be cold cuts and wonder bread served. - Asked snow goose guide about the breakfast and lunch situation. I was told those lunches were only offered to duck and pheasant hunters. This was NEVER communicated! - My hunting party expressed an interest into coyote hunting and the guide never showed up until Sunday before we decided we had enough and packed up - Cyrus offered a evening Fish for us on Saturday since we did not do well snow goose hunting. he nor the "fishing guide expert" were willing to show us were to go because they were on their way to the strip club. In my honest opinion, I had a good time despite the situation, because when surround by friends and family in a relaxing environment anyone can have fun. But that was not what I was expecting or paying for. It burns even more since this was my last trip before I move across away from my family and I paid for this trip as a gift to them. Cyrus offered me and my father a free trip out fishing and another guest of mine a free pheasant hunt. This is not a good business model. If you are interested in spending 240 dollars a day to go hunt with a couple of college buddies, you will not be disappointed. If you are looking for a professional guide service and top notch experience I hope that you look elsewhere for your next hunting trip. read more

We just had the pleasure of going on a pheasant hunt and staying with the fine folks at the double p ranch this past weekend and could not be more impressed with the entire crew. Excellent guides, very professional and easy going. Birds everywhere, good food. Specifically, Mongo our guide made the trip for my dad,brother and myself very personal and memorable. We will be back every year to hunt with Mongo and stay at the double P. Thanks again guys! read more

Have been a guest at the ranch several times. Both pheasant hunting and bow hunting whitetail. Super accommodations. Great food from a great chef. The habitat has been managed and planted with a dizzying array of wildlife friendly grasses shrubs and trees and is awesome. The game is plentiful and the staff is helpful and professional. The dogs are experienced and super fun to watch. After a long day in the field it is fun to eat wild game appetizers while watching and smelling the dinner preparations. Most excellent dinners are served every day. Hunters will not be dissatisfied with the amount of game seen. I have travelled to hunt for 30 years and just keep coming back to the Double P.

t was a wonderful lodge and a great time. The guide chad was very knowledgeable and made a effort to get us on the birds. I would recommend this lodge and guide for snow goose hunts. You wont find anyone better. read more

I just completed a Snow Goose hunt at Double P Ranch with 4 friends and our experience was very good. The accommodations were excellent, Chris's cooking was upper end restaurant quality and Chad worked hard to put us in position to get birds. Our third day we had a group of 2 to 3 thousand Snows circling our spread and literally had looks at over 50,000 geese.I few miles north of us we saw what appeared to be close to 500,000 snows in one field......with respect to the previous reviewers complaints regarding breakfast and lunch I would like to offer up the following. Snow geese are migratory birds. With the cold winter and late Spring, the geese rested south of the State waiting on warmer weather. As such, we had to hunt fields that were 2 to 3 hours south of the ranch in order to get at the birds. As a result, breakfast was a gas station burrito and we had lunch at a fine Bar & Restaurant called the Cabaret. Although I would have preferred to eat 3 of Chris's meals a day, we were there to hunt. Given our group was relatively subdued in the drinking category, I cannot address those issues, but having hunted all over the world, I would rate this as very positive and when you consider the price, it was excellent. I would expect that those who are lucky enough to draw a duck hunting license would find Double P Ranch to be outstanding....Kk read more
