Personal Experience on Guided Hunts I Have Attended Here's a very nice hog that I managed to take while hunting with 'Neal Smith's Wild Hog Hunts' located just south of Milledgeville Georgia. I explained to Neal that I was hoping for a good opportunity at a trophy boar taken with my archery equipment. Neal came through for me. I took this boar at 33 yards with my BowTech Invasion bow equipped with GoldTip arrows and Ramcat broadheads. The arrow made a clean pass-thru and the boar ran only 75 yards before expiring. Neal offers different hunt packages to meet your needs including do it yourself hunts, meat hunts and trophy boar hunts. Neal has been doing this most of his life. He has a vast knowledge of hogs including proper care of the meat! Check him out for some adrenalin rushing action.Neal Smith's Wild Hog Hunts - 478-456-5301 Wyoming Antelope Hunt  I set out to take a trophy antelope Cody’s Hunting Adventures. I simply cannot express enough how much we enjoyed this hunt! The guides (Paul and Brandon) worked very hard to meet and exceed our expectations. Paul and Brandon stayed by our sides the entire trip except for the few hours that we spent in a blind. Even then they made sure they were in contact with us. While stalking, our guides used their expertise to get us within a shot range that we were confident with. Personally I am comfortable taking long shots with my bow. However while doing so I depend on knowing the range to my target. My guides stuck with me and had rangefinders handy at all times. They would continue to call out the yardage each time I was at full draw. It was also obvious that our guides were not happy with just any antelope. They wanted to make sure that we had shot opportunities at Pope & Young potential antelope. I ended up taking a Pope & Young antelope at 73 yards with my Limbsaver DZ32 bow. I was also blessed with a doe antelope with horns which was another request that I had. For those of you who are not quite as comfortable taking long shots don’t worry. My hunting partner took his buck antelope at 24 yards. This antelope was just 1/8” shy of making Pope & Young. He also took a doe antelope at 46 yards. For me this antelope hunt with Cody’s Hunting Adventures has so far been the best guided hunt that I have ever been on. They also offer a combo hunt for antelope and mule deer. You will find these hunts very affordable when compared to other similar guided hunts. Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Setting up a guided hunt is basically a gamble. You never truly know the quality or sincerity invoked in your guides until after you arrive for the hunt. I have heard of a few horror stories from friends that have been on guided hunts and returned early because the guides left much to be desired. 
I told my guides that I was very interested in taking a doe with horns. Due to that they continuously glassed the prairies until they found what I was looking for. I met a personal goal of mine shooting an antelope at 102 yards and another at 103 yards with my DZ32. We have video footage of the 102 yard shot and the 73 yard shot on my Pope & Young antelope. I will attempt to post the footage as soon as I can.
