Irv Elson: Texas Hill Country Exotic Ranch Hunt Report

Texas Hill Country Exotic Ranch Hunt

What an amazing hunt!! The location (Texas Hill Country) was beautiful, the wildlife was plentiful and the lodge was very nice.

BUT… What made this hunt stand out were the guides, Charlie Ward and Josh (?) from COA. They each went above and beyond to make sure I had a great hunt and felt comfortable with what I was shooting. Friendly, professional, and motivated are just some of the words that describe them.

Every detail of the hunt was taken care of and I look forward to hunting with them and OI again.

We're looking forward to helping you book a great trip with an amazing outfitter.

I didn't think an experience like this was possible.

This trip, was, for me at least not just a trip, for me it was a real adventure, a real experience. I love the wilderness and this trip afforded me the opportunity to connect with the Alaskan wilderness in ways very few people do. It was an experience I will never forgot in a place I can’t wait to get back to.

The outfitter handled everything perfectly.

We were thankful that Outdoors International hooked us up with a great outfitter because they were able to find us an acceptable alternate on short notice. Overall the two year process to get this float in was seamless and worry free. Just like it should be.

Thank you, Stan Masneri

What an amazing experience!

The lodge was out of this world! Our rooms, the delicious food, the incredible wildlife and the scenery were amazing. Our photo safari guide was truly exceptional and had us on animals almost constantly. We saw over 30 different species and had some incredible up close experiences. Africa is amazing!
