Hi Guys this is a brand new page
we would like to add to our website. We have received hundreds of emails
in the past from hunters who wanted to thank us and tell us how much they
enjoyed their hunt, so we wanted to create a page that will allow hunters to
post their comments about their hunt. If you would like to post a comment
please email us at
tiogaboarhunting@yahoo.com and include your name, date of the hunt, species
hunted, how many hunts you have had at Tioga, and your comments. Thank you
in advance for taking the time to help us out...

Tioga,
Hello to all that is involved with Tioga. Thanks again for another great
trip. I have traveled and hunted other areas of the country and I have to
say, you guys are great. I think what separates you guys from some other
is just how all of you treat all your hunters as if they were family.
Bottom to top very professional and knowledgeable of the game in which you are
hunting to get you the best trophy in which you are seeking. Special
thanks again to Mark for helping me and Greg with our hunts.
Sincerely,
Bob Burns
Greetings to all at Tioga,
I have hunted at Tioga for several years now, and have yet to be disappointed.
In 2005, I hunted for a Black Russian Boar, and was blessed to harvest one well
over 200 pounds. He is now a beautiful conversation piece on my wall.
My guide, did a wonderful job of putting me in the right place to see several
boar. After several attempts, my 30-06 cracked, and my boar was down.
It was a very exciting hunt, and to hunt an animal that can easily become the
hunter, adds to the thrill of the hunt. My guide stressed the fact for me
to wait for the right shot, and put it down. I also enjoy the fact that
the guides at Tioga are unarmed. It is all up to the hunter.
In 2007, I returned to Tioga to hunt the Rocky Mountain Ram, an animal I have
always wanted to add to my trophy room. After arriving, getting settled in
a wonderful, comfortable, clean, room at the lodge, I went to the rifle range
and made sure my rifle was on the mark. The next morning we were up early,
had a great breakfast, I met my guide and we were off. However I became
side tracked when a 5x6 Red Stag caught my eye. After watching this animal
for sometime, I told my guide that we needed to hunt him., Later after
several setups and moves, my TC Encore 300 Win Mag hammer came down and so did
my Stag. What a hunt that was, and a beautiful trophy. On that same
hunt, I was able to take a Fallow Doe which turned out to be a real challenge.
These animals are very spooky, hardly ever stop, herd up tight, and the shots
are usually at a good distance away. My shot was well over the 200 yard
mark.
I was also very impressed with the field safety at Tioga. All the guides
are aware of their area, work together well, and know where the other hunters
are. The food is out of this world, with several types of wild game served
daily, with all the side dishes, and deserts, with the coffee pot always on.
The weight one looses in the filed, is gained back at the table. However,
I have yet to hunt the Rocky Mountain Ram, so that means a return to Tioga in
2008. I wonder if I will become side tracked again?
In closing, I again , cannot say enough for my guide, a great guy, and knows
what he is doing. If the hunter is a good listener, he will take home his
trophy.

To the Tioga Boar Preserve,
I surprised my husband for his 50th birthday with a trip to your preserve on
5/3/08. We had a blast!! Everything was great from the food and the
gals who cooked it to the guides Rodney and Rex. We could not have been
treated better!! As a woman, I run into a lot of "men" who make snide
remarks and treat me in a condescending manner--not here!! The guides and
the other guests were friendly, polite, and fair. Thank you for making this a
wonderful memory that we hope to repeat in the near future with our children..
Sincerely yours,

Hello
to all at Tioga,
My step father, Conrad and myself, Bob, hunted at Tioga on April 19, 2008.
Let me start by saying tat are guided did an outstanding job, from their
hospitality to their knowledge of the game we were after to the processing of
it. We let them know what we were after and they helped us get it.
Conrad took a 220 lbs Sow and I got a 250 lbs Sow. The overall experience
was great. Everyone was very friendly. This was our first time on a
guided hunt and first at Tioga. We would gladly recommend hunting at Tioga
to any hunter. We will definitely be going again. Thank you again
Tioga.
Sincerely,
Bob

Tioga,
At 57, each year brings a winter that's a little colder then the last and
familiar hills that were easy to climb are a little steeper then they were the
year before. Even though I am powerless to hold back the hands of time my
good friends at Tioga make my hunts there as enjoyable as the first time I
walked through there door. Since I started hunting exotics I've always
wanted a trophy Mouflon that would stand out among the other game animals
that I've been fortunate to take in my lifetime. Let me say now that I've
succeeded in taking that trophy Mouflon and Tioga Hunting Preserve made it all
possible. Good friends, good food, and good guns equal a great hunt which
can all be found at Tioga.

I must
first say thanks to our guides, Mike and Carl, these gentleman were extremely
knowledgeable, made us feel very comfortable and added much pleasure to the
overall experience. To all hunters, this was a great experience for myself
and the other hunters in my party. I have been hunting for several years
now and I would have to say this was one of the best experiences I have ever
had. They cater to all levels of experience to insure successful hunting.
Spotting the various game while staling was heart pounding and the hunt will
provide more than enough challenge for any level of hunter. The Boar and
Rocky Mountain Ram I bagged were great!! I should add that the lodging, food,
and staff were terrific.
Thanks again Tioga, we will definitely return, hopefully with my son, to enjoy
your hospitality.

To my fellow hunters at Tioga
Ranch,
Allow me to say that the experience at Tioga you will encounter is unparallel to
any other. I am proud to say that I have accumulated over the years over
eighteen trophies (all wall hangers). And it must be noted that during the
2007 Bear season at Tioga I harvested a 257 lb trophy. This would have
never been possible without the professionals at Tioga. If a fellow
sportsman is looking for a great experience that they will never forget, you
need look no further than Tioga, believe me when I tell you that not only the
experience, but also the personable attention you are given will bring you back
time and time again.

Tioga is
GREAT. In all aspects. My father and I shared the experience. I
hunted that Saturday and he played camera man. Derek was my guide, we had
a quick successful hunt and recommend him to any hunter. He made me feel
comfortable that he knew the woods as well as the animals that we were hunting.
All the guides were so polite and knowledgeable, they made everyone so
comfortable. The whole experience of hunting with you guys was great.
It has that true hunting feeling from the beautiful scenery to the hunting lodge
itself. I cant wait for the future hunts that I will have with you guys.
Sincerely,
Anthony Messina
Tioga, I've lost count of exactly how many hunts I've been on
at Tioga and they were all excellent, however, I have to comment on the last two
which were a trophy Whitetail and a Bison hunt with a turkey thrown in for good
measure. The guides all said that I should be ready for a good Whitetail,
but when that deer came up the game trail and the sunlight hit his antlers I
shook like the first time when I had a deer in my sights. He was the
biggest I've seen in over 20 years of hunting...As a matter of fact I pulled my
first shot and only because of the expert help from Tioga's experienced guides
was I able to put my trophy of a lifetime down for keeps. The Bison...let
me say now that I've hunted Cape Buffalo in Africa and the bull I took at Tioga
was almost equal in size and just about as hard to put down. I used my
Freedom Arms 454 with a 300 grain bullet and placement of the round is critical
with an animal of this size when using a handgun. Again, the guides set me
up in the best position for a kill shot and as you can see in the photo...I got
my Buff!!!! This story's not over because later in the day I took a trophy
with my handgun that I've been trying to get for the last 7 years without
success. That trophy is none other then North Americas own wild Turkey.
As we still hunted Tioga's vast woodlands I caught some movement behind a pile
of blow down trees. What's this???Why yes...its the head and neck of a
turkey which I have to say now was trying to hide from us. I sat down with
my back against a tree and brought my 454 to rest on my knees. The head
and neck of a turkey that's 40 yards away makes for a small target so I cranked
my variable power Leopold up to 8x. This had to be one of the hardest game
shots I've ever taken with my handgun as I held my breath and tried to squeeze
the trigger with the greatest of concentration. BOOM!!! As the gun
barrel rose in recoil the head of the bird disappeared and all became still...
$0 yards away nothing moved as we made our way to that pile of logs where the
turkey last stood. There among the wood and loose feathers lay my bird with
a bullet hole "smack dab" in the center of his neck. That, like
some many
others, was how my day ended at Tioga Hunting Preserve with what I would say was
a "damn good hunt".

Hello to any hunter that's reading messages posted.
I've hunted at Tioga Boar Hunting Preserve a couple of times. I have found
the people to be the best kind of people to know, the food is great, the
accommodations are just as good. An ample supply of animals to hunt in
large hunting areas. I would recommend this hunting preserve to everyone
and I plan on hunting there in the future. Thanks guys for some good hunts
Truly,

Just a quick note to let you know
how much my son and I enjoyed our Buffalo hunt on February 22nd. We could
have not asked for a more considerate and patient guide than Mark. I was
especially impressed with the way he treated my 10 year old son like an adult
and the way he took my leg problems into account. You guys were great!
The meat was cut up perfectly and we have enjoyed some already-delicious and
tender. Once again-a hunt of a lifetime and worth every penny
Thank you!

I have brought both of my sons to Tioga to hunt Boar with bow
when they turned 10. Not only were both boys successful in harvesting
trophy's the experience they each enjoyed will be remembered for a lifetime.
The people at Tioga were wonderful. They were truly focused on providing
my sons with a quality experience. They will be strongly recommended by
our family.
