They have a 4 bedroom lodge with kitchen and laundry along with a large patio with a fire pit and oak fired Grill on the premises for $65 per person per night. There are motels in town but we prefer the lodge because it is close to the processing shed and the Final Final Bar. The Final Final is like a team house for locals. When we came in from our hunt, the Chief of Police was there.

Your .300 Win Mag is fine, so is the .30-06. My son uses a M70 in .300 Win Mag. He took a 275 pound hog at 300 yards a couple of years ago. I use my .270 or Rem 700 in .308 with 168gr bullets. We also use Barnes bullets since the area is lead free due to the presence of the Califonia Condors.

The guides will take you out in 4X4 pickups and also use quads. Nothing like going 60 mph up a ridge on a quad with a rifle, the guide and a dog, in the dark. The guides field dress and skin the animals. Processing is available for $100-$125 per animal. Leno, the butcher, will custom cut and wrap the meat. He also makes sausage for $4.00 per pound. I always get 5-10 pounds of Swiss sausage, it is delicious.
