We recommend that our hog hunters shoot a .270 caliber rifle or larger, with a .243 caliber being the minimum! If you decide to bring the minimum caliber, please use at least a 80 grain bullet or larger. Bow hunting is also a great means of harvesting your game. You can also hunt with pistols and crossbows at 4 Amigos Ranch. NO Full Metal Jacket Bullets Are Allowed, you must use a hunting round. Bow Hunting with 3 or 4 bladed broadheads only! No 2 Bladed Broadheads will be Allowed for Hog Hunting!
Our hunts are not fully guided, but rather semi-guided. Your guides will drop you off and pick you up from your hunting area. Fully guided hunts are available upon request.

5) What happens if I wound an animal?
Ranch policy states once blood, hair, bone or any other sign of contact with the animal shot at is found, the animal is then the responsibility of the hunter and will count as a kill.
