Just wanted to let you know how my hunt went with Rancho Creek for a hog hunt. We arrived in camp and met up with Bill Adams who explained the layout of the ranch. He explained that there would be a feed route ran every afternoon. We then paid him our remaing balance before the hunt the next day. After we paid him he advsied that he would not be on the ranch for our 4 day hunt because he was going fishing. He did explain that his son would would be there to assist us and run the feed route. Well the first evening hunt came and there was no one there to run the feed route. On the second day the son advsied that the truck would not run and that we would have to feed our on area. So I decided to look at the vehicle, which started up after one crank. The son never went back to check the truck to see if it would start up. Later i showed him that it would start thinking he would run the route. But he still did not run the route for he had to work and go out to parties over the weekend. It seems that Rancho Creek is not to concerned about return customers to their ranch.

So we continued to hunt doing eveything for ourselves. We had only one hog harvested for the four day hunt. This was the only hog that showed up during daylight hours. If you plan to hunt this ranch for hogs you better be prepared to hunt at night. But even hunting at night we did not have any sucess. I understand that this is a cheap hunt but I feel there could have been better customer service.

The bunk house was a "SHACK" that was still dirty from the previous hunters. The trash was not even removed from the trash cans. The floor inside was dirty with mud. I had to mop it up just so you could walk on it. There were items in the Frig that I threw out before it walk off by itself. They had eight bunks in the trailer with childrens mattresses on them. so I hope you are short. The area around the camp was trashy down to the sons trailer which had bags of trash surrounding the trailer. It would only take a little clean up on their part to make it look a little better. But they were not concerned about this.

While talking to the son he asked what to you think about the hunt. So we told him about the corn and the conditions. His reply was "I am sorry you fell that way" So we told him that we would not be back as a repeat customer. The bad thing about the hunt is that we had heard from some other hunters that they enjoyed the hunt and the Bill treated them very well.

The reason I am writing this is to inform you of the treatment you might recieve form Rancho Creek.
