Why S.O.H.P?

Many years ago hunting preserves in the United States started selling what they called Wild Boar Hunts.  In truth, what most other preserves sell are really feral hog hunts.  These feral hogs are trapped in the southern United States and then transported to these preserves.  The word feral means something which once was in captivity but is no longer in captivity.  When the white man came to the North American continent there were no hogs here.  The white man brought domesticated swine which he either turned loose, or escaped from him.  This was the beginning of the feral hog population that now lives in the southern United States. In Europe, on the other hand, there have been wild boar since the beginning of time.  The wild boar in Europe are a completely different animal than the feral hogs that are in the United States.  They even have a different scientific name.  Since import restrictions are less strict than they are in the United States, the Canadians started importing these true wild boar from Europe and raising them on their vast acreage several years ago.  These are the true wild boar that we import from Canada for you here at Southern Ohio Hunting Preserve.  The true wild boar have far superior hair all over their whole bodies and on their hackles.  Their tusk growth is also far superior.  Thus, our true European Wild Boar make a far superior mount when compared to a southern feral hog that most other preserves the offer.

We are a full service hunting preserve.  This means that our services are included in our price.  Guide work, field dressing, transportation to and from the preserve, skinning of your animal, and quartering, all items that are included in your price when they are necessary.  Many preserves will quote you low price for their trophy fee  and then after they get you there, they charge you additionally for all of these items. This means you harvest a lesser animal and end up paying a higher price.  Remember, hunts are the same as anything else. A cheap hunt is just exactly that– A CHEAP HUNT!
