Can anyone tell me about the ranch that the Grunts & Globblers hunt is on this year. I am thinking of going but would like some info on the ranch.

How much land?

Is there a good camping area? ect....

I did not see the thread about this before I wrote this one sorry. I would have just asked these questions there.......I'm blind in one eye and can't see out of the other..LOL

Birddog I'll try. Brushy Hills is a 13,000 acre low fenced ranch. It's split over four pastures and there is a bunkhouse or converted old ranch house to use for a bunkhouse in three of the four pastures. Terrain is mainly brush but there are some large oak trees in some pastures along creeks and especially in the river pasture. Roads are pretty good and the terrain in general is not rough (i.e., not hilly or rocky). One exception is Pilot Knob which is the lone big hill in the area. Roads are ok for two wheel drive under most conditions, though if there is a heavy rain, there are some ranch roads that you can get stuck on.

They run an evening feed route through three of the pastures and have feeders as well. Pete Denney is one of the nicest most laid back ranchers I've ever met.

What else would you like to know?

There are only seven who have officially sent in their deposits.

I have gotten a lot of calls though :D and there seems to be a lot of interest in the hunt, so don't wait too long. :(

The Brushy Hills ranch is an awesome hunt. Had I not made prior plans, I'd be on this one. If you hunt the hog heaven pasture I'd recommend hunting the corner farthest from the cabin. There's a tank back there and I saw a hog that looked like it'd run about 350, maybe 400 pounds. Big black one. I tried to put the sneak on it, but the wind was playing wrong and he got in the brush before I could get within bow range. Dense, thick, gnarly brush too. Love it!!! Big hog!! I'm ready to go back. ;)
