a very rewarding weekend . This was a father son trip and our second attempt at boar hunting. We…read moregot skunked at another outfitter and decided to give bitter water a try based on the ratings. Upon arrival we sighted in our rifles and hit the ground running. Knowing it was my son's first attempt the guides made sure he got first crack at the wild pigs. The staff to the guides , the butcher everyone was friendly supportive and helpful. Everyone went out of their way to help you succeed . Very confidence building. Yes the days were long but well worth it. This place is top notch . Everyone in our group got a pig . The effort and the professionalism and experience really shows. You have multiple opportunities to hunt as much or as little as you desire. The staff are experts and it shows. I would highly recommend this place and for us staying on the premises made a huge difference not having to commute to and from the facility. Give this place a try they are worth it. Plan on returning for sure .

What an amazing place! Now that I am moving, I wish I had found Bitterwater Outfitters earlier as I…read moreusually do my hunting in West Virginia and Texas. They are a 5 star operation from hunt, guide, to gutting and cleaning of animals and to skull cleaning! I only wish they did their own Taxidermy work. Tara who arranged my trip has always been kind, courteous and obliging. She scheduled me in February and I went solo looking to finish my Texas Ram Slam and Texas Big Horn Slam which I did. I took a Merino Ram ( Rambouillet) and took a Corsican. The prices for each were in line with what I have paid in Texas and West Virginia. The Merino Ram had nice horns, over full curl and a quarter which is how I like them since I do euromounts. The Corsican was also a full curl and a quarter and you can see the skull, he looked fabulous! There is a search for the rams but that comes with hunting . I took a 200yrd shot on the Merino and 50-60yrd shot on the Corsican. By the way, the property is huge!!! Apparently over 400k acres. My 40 acres that I own is nothing compared to this place. My guide was Dugan and he was a pro and I liked him a lot. I actually requested him again on a trip back this St. Patrick's Day! He knew what he was doing and where to look. He also took great pics and videos. He gutted the animals quick and professionally and once we were back at base camp he cleaned them up for meat processing fast and nicely. Bitterwater does a great job with the guides and he is a 5 star guide for sure. Meat processing was also done exceptionally well! I only took the Merino since it is the better of the two rams and yes, it was yum. The meat was packed professionally and labeled very well. The butcher is from New Zealand or Australia and is wonderful person to deal with and the sausage they made was fabulous by the way! Serious meat processing alone was worth 5 stars! Kudos to places that do their own meat processing. I had a great and memorable time! The only drawback was they use a Taxidermist called Life Like Taxidermy which is a piece of shit operation. Avoid them at all cost and wished that Bitterwater didn't use them. See my review on them...They are out of Madera, CA and should be avoided at all cost. Use Mounts Unlimited in Los Gatos, CA instead. I loved my experience at Bitterwater Outfitter so much I am taking my cousin's husband this St. Patrick's Day and already Tara has done a great job of white gloving my experience! If you are looking for a great place to go hunt hog, rams, exotics and whatever else they have on their menu, you will NOT be disappointed! I highly recommend Bitterwater Outfitters for a hunting experience that will be memorable and fabulous! Thank you Tara and staff!

If you want to hunt for wild boar, this is the place to hunt! Excellent crew of guides to get you…read morein position to hunt wild Hogs. I went with my hunting friends and we meet our guides Craig, Jos and Robbie who knew where to take us and glass for huge hogs. We spotted several and we got on the hunt early. Definitely exciting to stalk and hunt! My suggestion is bring a good rifle and scope dialed in at 100 yards. You will need a hunting license, pig tag, lead free cooper ammo. They will get you in hunting range to test your skills! This is a great trip and I will comeback again next year! The hogs we harvested taste great cause the boars are wild and organic since they destroy farms all night long. Most hunts are a two day trip if you don't get a pig early so plan to spend the night at a nearby hotel or their onsite cabin. Bring your own drinks and food since no places to eat or drink nearby. Once the hogs are harvested they will quarter and package your meat for you or take it to the nearby butcher to make sausages or cut into pork chops. This is one of the best hog hunting trips I have been to and I would highly recommend the experience.

He also has a great sense of humor, and is extremely personable. It was a pleasure to have him guide us. While we saw a few pigs early, Jim advised us that "we didn't want those ones", which showed me his patience in order to not just "get the job done" but instead to make sure we had the best possible outcome for our hunt. He was with us from sunup, and brought us to an area in the evening, explaining that the valley was where they most often moved through at that time, and sure enough, I got my pig there right before sundown, and couldn't be happier. As a plus, he takes an incredible picture!!! I look forward to my next opportunity to hunt with him in the future, and would not consider another guide in the area. Thanks again Jim!
