We had a great experience and highly recommend this outfitter. Cabin was very comfortable, food was delicious, and our guide was very accommodating, even going so far as to drive us into Marquette and giving us the 5 cent tour. Our boar was impressive and the hunt was exilirating. It is fenced in obviously, but the terrain is rugged enough to make you forget that. 3 out of 4 stars!

One star because I couldn't give it any less. You go to their website and they show these ferocious animals that can be hunted and it looks like an exhilarating hunting opportunity until you get there. It is a 3-day hunt and our group of 4 hunters shot all our animals in a matter of 2 hours. We caught up with the pack of boars almost immediately. Why they have you there for 3 days make no sense to me. Needless to say we were so upset we left right after we shot the boars. The morning of our hunt I overheard the lead guy tell his staff to make sure there are no boars by the fence when we walk in. I didn't know what he truly meant by this until we walked in the fence. These animals were all people friendly as if they were raised on a farm and released to act as wild animals. I shot my boar and instead of the other animals running away they congregated around my dead pig and our "guide" had to literally kick the other pigs away for the dead one so we can take pictures. As we are taking pictures the live "raging" pigs kept coming into our photos. "Hunt or be Hunted"...please. The size of the pigs were no where close to what we were expecting and it wasn't because I was not willing to pay for the biggest one they had. There were no raging or wild or massive rippers anywhere to be found on the farm. I made a follow up call to their leader explaining my dissatisfaction and all he could say is I will talk to my staff about your hunt. No apology, just a mere feeling that we were out-of-luck.
