We arrived to the area and were surprised by how we were the only ones there; from my understanding, typically hunting places have large groups. Mark gave us a detailed safety and instructional briefing, detailing what to do if confronted by a hog, hog behavior/anatomy, and optimal shot placement for max meat yield and humane practices. Next, he ensured our weapons were sighted in accurately and that we knew what we were doing with them. I really valued the emphasis on safety, because nothing ruins a hunting trip like having to go to the ER. We were then walked to an enclosed area where the swine were and placed in a stand. The stands were constructed by the company and seemed very well made, notably Mark ensured that everyone had a chair to sit in. The stand overlooked a clearing that routinely distributed feed to ensure the pigs would arrive in the area. Jeff also went out and distributed food to ensure we would have a clear shot at the pigs. Mark was present with us the whole time and guided us through the process of which hog to shoot and when to make shots. He also consistently educated us on hog behaviors and tendencies to watch for. I recall local colleges could probably benefit from at least observing and being present at this sort of thing. My cousin landed a 90lbs hog and I was able to shoot a 60lbs hog. From here, Jeff and Brian loaded the hogs up for us and brought them to the processing station. We proceeded to another area where my other cousin was able to hunt with a bow. This area was larger and as a result there was difficulty getting the pigs into an ideal spot, so Jeff and Mark helped my cousin with a stalking hunt where he was able to land another hog with an impressive bow shot. There was also an period where a hog became aggressive due to their proximity, and Mark was able to keep my cousin safe. All of the hogs were brought to their processing station and weighed. The pricing from my understanding was more than reasonable in comparison to other places. They processed the hogs into the edible parts and placed them into our cooler with ice (make sure you bring your own cooler with enough space; probably better to bring more than less.). Brian also had processing available in which he takes the meat directly (See his business, milk and honey farms meat processing which is rated 5/5 at this time on facebook). We opted for this for the majority of our meat and will review that separately. Overall: As a first time hunter, I appreciated the amount of personal attention we received. The guys were pleasant, kind, and patient. Certainly these are things you hope for rather than fumbling through, missing shots or maiming pigs decreasing the meat yield, or at worst, accidentally harming someone else or yourself. They make it very easy to make appropriate shots on hogs and do much of the laborious parts of hunting for you. I really enjoyed this experience and had a great time. I feel as if my understanding of pig behavior and anatomy was greatly improved as well. I would highly recommend this place to a friend.

He loves the great outdoors and all animals, so when we heard of Brighter Pastures Equine Therapy through a friend, we were intrigued. From his first lesson, until now (a few months later), we've noticed a marked difference in his confidence level. He went from being terrified of riding Candy, to riding bareback! He's always excited for his lessons, and we are so so proud of the progress he's made in such a short period of time. We've also noticed how his confidence level has increased, outside of lessons. He isn't as nervous to introduce himself to new friends, and now plays on the playground during recess instead of sitting by the fence line. We are so thankful for Shanna, and Candy!
