Full description and what we offer
Dan Moody started in the exotic trophy hunting business in 1976 and has built one of South Texas's most active outfitting operations. Operating out of Pearsall on FM 140, he books hunts year-round across multiple ranches—some in the Texas Hill Country, others in the South Texas mesquite flats.
Most of Dan's business centers on wild hog hunting using specially trained black mouth cur catch dogs. Here's how it works: dogs locate and bay the hog, catch dogs hold it, then you move in for the kill—either with knife, gun, or bow.
Meat Hog Hunts - 2 boars per hunter, whatever size the dogs catch - Two-day hunts with high kill ratio (not guaranteed) - Includes guides, dogs, transportation, field dressing, quartering, meals, and lodging
Trophy Boar Hunts - Boars weighing 200-400 lbs with 2-4 inch tusks - $200/day guide fee plus $1,150 kill fee (blind hunts) or $1,500 kill fee (dog hunts) - If you don't kill, you pay only the guide fee - Room & board: $150/night - Field dressing, skinning, quartering included
