A Present That Lasts a Lifetime
A 285" 5x6 bull Elk taken by an 11 year old boy

Caleb, an 11 year old boy, knew he had received a great present when his brother Shane gave him a trip to Stone Creek Hunting Ranch. Shane had hunted with Stone Creek several times and knew we would give his brother a great hunting experience. Caleb came on the hunt armed with a .270 short mag and wanted a Bull Elk. We hunted hard for the elk all day. Finally right at dark, we spotted the elk we were after walking across the field. We held our positions but once it disappeared into the woods, Shane and Caleb took off after it. They spotted the elk again about 100 yds. away and walking away from them. Caleb carefully rested his gun on a tree and prepared himself. Then Shane used his cow elk call to stop the bull and to get him to turn broadside. Caleb knew his moment had come and touched off his rifle. The sound echoed through the hills. Knowing the moment of truth had come, I made my way over to them, just to see the big elk laying on the ground. It had fallen right where Caleb had shot him. Oh if only pictures could really capture the joy in a person. For the rest of the hunt Caleb had a grin on his face that was priceless.

Having never been on a hunting trip before I was hesitant to try booking a hog trip on my own in order to surprise my husband. Justin was professional and patient with my many questions and made this a great surprise. Once we arrived Justin and Dave made us feel like family; before our bags were unpacked we were on the 4x4 and checking out the ranch. By the end of day two my hubby had a 250lb razorback and I had a 130lb russian hog....and I have never shot anything before! The ranch is beautiful, the food incredible, and the guides outstanding. If you have any doubts about trying a hog hunt here at Stone Creek put them aside and pick up your phone. This was hands-down the best vacation we've ever taken and we will certainly be back.

Wanted to say thanks, Adam & I had a blast. We really appreciated Bob, Buck and your hard work and hospitality. On the way home everybody talked about the whole weekend. None of us was sure what to expect but it was really fun hunting the hogs. The lodge, food, and service was outstanding. Now that we know what to expect, several of us want to come back and try to get a hog with a bow.

Thanks again, nothing feels better than having my son hunting with me and having a great time.

The hunt me and my buddy had with you guys this last weekend was OUTSTANDING! There was never a dull moment, and never a time we weren't seeing hogs. The ranch was amazing, and the food was more than expected. The hunt was better than what we expected. The guides and quality of hogs was beyond expectation. We are recruiting more hunters to come back with us when we return next year. See you guys next time. Tim H.

Absolute first class operation. Justin, Shane, Dustin and Uncle Bob were as cordial and welcoming as they can be. The guides went out of their way to ensure everyone had a great time. We will be back and I personally have already made several recommendations to others to check you guys out. Bill R.

Your ranch and accommodations exceeded our expectations! Buck, our guide was outstanding, and had our hogs dressed out in no time! Dave is an awesome cook, source of information and conversationalist. Four nice hogs in two and a half days! We are already planning our return trip and bringing more friends and family. Thanks a ton! Daniel W.

I recently went on a 3 day boar hunting trip to one of your advertisers, Stone Creek Hunting Ranch in Missouri. I had a great time and shot a 300 lbs. boar, what a high!!!!! I am attaching a couple of photos. Your magazine has many fine advertisers that offer great experiences. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks. Dan G.

Thanks for your help and services you have a helluva nice place and run a top notch ranch. Thanks to you buck and bob, you guys made it a great trip and i can’t wait till next year to come back. I couldn’t wait to go on a hog hunt and I couldn’t imagine going to nicer place with better group of guys. You should be proud of your staff and you ranch and you were alright yourself. Just wanted to yell you thanks for your guide services on Tuesday and Wednesday I learned a lot and had a great time. So far I’ve given all your business cards out that I had. Hopefully it’ll drum up some more business for you I’ve told them nothing but good. See ya next year when the fat boys the old bastards and the retard cops and myself return and hopefully that ram will be worth less to you thanks againScott D.

The trip and experience at Stone Creek was more than expected. The staff at the lodge, the guides and owner were all professional and down to earth. The meals were homestyle and excellent. This was my first PIG hunt, and I will be back to visit and hunt at Stone Creek again. There were plenty of hogs to hunt and never a doubt that this was going to be an excellent hunt. David D.

Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed hunting at your place this past weekend. Your guys did a great job taking care of us. We have spoken highly of your hunting ranch since we returned and it looks like many of our guys are now interested in hunting with you. Thanks again for the great hunt. Looking forward to seeing you guys again. Please tell Bob, Dustin, and Sean hello from all of the guys from "the fort".Jeff B.

My buddies and I recently spent the weekend at Stone Creek for the first time. There were 12 of us and none of us had ever shot a hog before so we didn't know what to expect. The weekend couldn't have been better. Not only were Justin, Josh, and Uncle Bob amazing hosts, but by the end of the weekend all 12 of us had a hog to take home. The accomodations were perfect for our group and in the end we had a fantastic experience. We have already decided we will be back to make sure Justin and the boys are staying out of trouble.....and of course we will be bringing the flabongo! Thanks again for a great experience!Brody W.
