I hunted with Robby (aka Swampus) 2 years ago. He did a hunt where customers could shoot an axis doe and pigs, with lodging and food for $200. To this date, that's the best $200 (plus tip) I've spent on hunting.
I hunted on the Double T exotic ranch with my father. We both shot an axis doe on the first hunt of the weekend. I hunted in a box blind with a feeder at one end of the pasture, and I was surrounded by game in every direction throughout most of the afternoon hunt.
We were able to utilize a large walk in cooler to keep our axis deer cool after the hunt. Additionally we were greeted by friendly staff at the lodge and enjoyed hearing of the world wide hunting experiences of Robby's father, who was also at the ranch that weekend.
After the first hunt, my father and I spent the remaining time enjoying the first class lodge and it's impressive game room, and sitting in the box blinds photographing the exotic and native game on the ranch.
Robby worked hard to make the hunting experience a good one. Whether it was taking us to our hunting spots extra early in the afternoon, or giving us a jeep to take off on our own so we could observe and photograph axis deer, blackbucks, wildebeasts, and turkeys as they went to roost, he took care of us like we were family.
Additionally, the lodge and food was above and beyond what I would expect for a hunting trip. Just staying in the lodge and eating the fine steaks, baked potatos, and jalepeno cornbread without hunting would have been worth the price I paid.
