Frequently Asked Questions

No we do not charge by the day.  We charge by the hog.  You choose the size of hog you would like to kill and you hunt until you see success.  If you hunt and never kill anything, there is a minimum $150 + lodging for number of nights you stayed.  In most hunts, hunters are deciding if they want to take more than one hog.  We pride ourselves in giving every hunter the best chance at harvesting a wild hog.

Hunters may stay as long as they want, as long as we do not overlap in reservations.  Also, hunters MUST be actively hunting while staying in our lodge.

At the current moment, we do not rent any weapons.

You can shoot as many hogs as you would like.  You simply pay $1.25 per live weight pound.

Yes, we have had many successful hunts for those who are handicap or disabled.  We are here to help everyone.  We have specific blinds that are wheelchair accessible for both bow and rifle.

Absolutely!  Our favorite times are spent helping people hunt for the first time.  We have had many hunters of all ages take their first animals here at BAD.  We really enjoy working with youth and being able to help with their first hunting experience.

Yes and no.

Wild hogs are just that, wild animals.  They have razor sharp tusks which can cut through flesh easily.  They can be very dangerous and can hurt you very badly if they are wounded or cornered.  We encourage our hunters to always wait for their guides before moving through the woods.  Hogs are not going to seek you out and hunt you like a lion or wolf.  They will run from humans every chance they can get.  Follow the advice of your guide and everyone will stay completely safe.

We prefer to use Houston IAH, but it is not too much further to D/FW.  For a fee we can arrange airport pickup.  There is a small airport in Angelina County, only 40 minutes away, that does have fueling service and great facilities for your private plane.

We have a very poor recovery rate with .223/556.  We do not like to wound animals; it is not good for the animals or the hunters.  Our BAD hogs are big, mean and tough.  They can be hard to take down.  This is Texas…the bigger the better, especially when it comes to guns!

No.  We pride ourselves in providing clean facilities and successful hunts.  Keeping B.A.D. good takes a lot of time and energy.  You will not find a better hunt of this type.  We feel our pricing system is very fair and affordable, as competitive as you'll find.

Most varmints you'll see while hunting include: skunks, opossums, raccoons, and armadillo.  Predators include: foxes, bobcats and coyotes.  You may shoot any of these animals that dare to walk in front of you.

Yes. There are always families and places in need of meat that are happy to receive it.

Yes. If you are staying several nights with us and have some success early, there are a few places that will process your meat before you return home.

Yes we have several in the area we recommend.  Some of their work is displayed in our lodge.

Yes.  Family and friends are always welcome at BAD.  We are a family operated outfitter that puts family first.  Our non-hunter fee is simply the lodging fee of $30 per person per night.

We do not provide meals.  Only 5 minutes from Piney Creek Ranch is the small town of Groveton which contains several Texas style restaurants.  Lufkin, Texas is thirty minutes from the ranch and has many eating establishments.  The staff at B.A.D can certainly help arrange catering during your stay.
