I have been on a lot of guided hunts around the country and a couple hog hunts here in CA before this hunt. Given the fact that it's semi-guided and priced pretty low I went in with pretty low expectations. Good thing! Like others, the outfitter showed us around the property to give us the lay of the land the day before our hunt. Good sign everywhere so we were stoked for the next day. Things got weird when the landowner's (who lives smack dad in the middle of the 500ish acres) dogs were running out in the field. There is also an easement on the property that people used pretty regularly

Don't bother with Bryson Hesperia Resort. Tried to plan a birthday hunting trip. First excuse, the lady has back surgery and can't guide. Second excuse, the landowners mother passed and being buried on property. Third excuse, she's worried about me infecting her with corona virus because of a single case in Alameda county. Bryson Hesperia Resort is full of excuses!

I recieved a phone call last night from Deedy owner of Bryson Hesperia Resort.. Concerned and upset at my previous statement about Bryson Hesperia Resort and the service that I received. I spent what felt like forever talking about hunting, deer, pigs, lions, elk, Fort Hunter Liggett, and so on. It made me happy and relieved that someone cared so much not just about hunting but about me to call and spend her time with me on the phone. We overcame our differences in the end and I am glad we did Deedy is a wonderful person full of joys and ambition and she definitely has you in mind. I hope when

Deedy puts on a great hunt. We did the semi-guided option and Deedy did everything she could to help us be successful. Her map is quite accurate, and she spends a lot of time helping you understand the property. In the end, it is not an easy hunt. You will have to work for your kill but it is a good hunt. Put in the times listen to Deedy, and you have a great chance to succeed here. I got the biggest boar I have ever killed here (270#)... but better than that, I learned more about how to hunt pigs.

I have hunted with To do twice now, once semi guided and once fully guided. Both trips were great. The semi guided is a lot of fun and let's you really earn your kill. There is a large pig population on the property, but that is not a guarantee of anything.
The guided hunt is one if the best outfitter hunts I have been on. Tom is a great guide and the property they have is fantastic.

These guys are the "real deal". I'm new to hunting and I hunted with Tom and learned so much. He is such a nice guy to work with. Deedy also has an incredible amount of knowledge about hunting and will fit you in to a hunt at just the right time. I recommend a full guided hunt for anyone new to the sport. The cabins are somewhat "off the grid", and I enjoyed the break from technology. I'd like to go back for a semi-guided hunt when I have the time.

Just to got back from a weekend up at the resort with a semi-guided hunt lead by DiDi. All around a 5-star experience. We saw a ton of wildlife and we're right on the game for 90% of the trip (we were hunting pigs/turkeys). Cabins were clean, stocked with everything we could ask for (even wifi). Didi was available on cell all day if we needed anything and laid our great maps for us to take with us. We certainly be returning in the Spring.

Deedy knows her pigs and the ranch is beautiful. Best value pig hunt that I've taken part in. I opted for the semi-guided package. My hunt took place one evening and the following morning. With solid intel from Deedy and personal knowledge of bowhunting wild hogs I glassed up a group at last light on the opposite side of the ranch but ran out of daylight trying to get over there. The next morning I was optimistic and immediately got on a group of 12-14. Had multiple chances to put an arrow in a pig, but with on and off rain, and being so close to immensely thick bedding areas I wanted a guaranteed

I recently went on a semi guided hunt with DeeDee like other hunters I met Dee Dee at the cabins and went for a orientation of the ranch I would be hunting. After looking over the ranch with Dee Dee pig sign was every where and fresh. After orientation I went for a short walk and about 40 minutes in I encountered about 25 pigs and shot one that weighed 220# after that I did see pigs everyday but not on the ranch I was hunting. There is a road easement through the ranch but the animals are used to it. I've hunted my entire life and have been blessed to hunt more often the most. The pigs on

Found Bryson Hesperia on the Web and saw the mixed reviews but thought I would give it a shot. Deedy is a very knowledgeable guide. She is also a very nice and sincere person. She gave us a nice tour of the property and set our blind up for Turkey hunting where the property owner said the turkeys were and where we saw fresh sign of both pig and turkey. Came out the next day tagged out and she even helped gut the pig for us since it was our first time being successful. Would recommend Deedy and the semi-guided hunt.

Absolutely ridiculous - We showed up to meet Deedy and she was at some sort of a doctors appointment...we were led to the cabins and needless to say- We didn't even step foot inside...this place is very disgusting...We drove away within 5 minutes. What is even more funny, is that this gal never even called us...I don't believe she was ever going to show up.

I almost feel bad writing this, because the more of you that head out to Bryson Hesparia, the fewer pigs there will be left for me!
I had read all of the below reviews before booking a semi-guided hog hunt with Deedy and, because of them, didn't have very high expectations going in. Happy to say that I was proven wrong.
First of all, if you're even considering hunting hog in California, you probably already know that an overwhelming percentage of the state's harvest is taken on private land. When I booked this hunt, I looked at it as a $200 trespass fee to hunt a piece of private

A while back me and 3 of my buddies went here for a semi guided hog hunt. We pretty much got the same treatment as the others. She took our money than took us on a 20 min drive around the property and took off. We did not see one pig at the place matter of fact people were driving through while we were hunting. There was old signs of hogs but we did not see one live pig. We were there for 2 days and not one live sighting of hogs. we did however see turkeys that was running around the property. I would not recommend this place if you are looking to hunt for hogs.

I recently went to Bryson Resort for a semi guided hog hunt. I not an expert in hunting, but have hog hunted here in California before. We were give a briefing on where to hunt. We walked a good distance and didn't see any signs of hog. The cabins were super nice clean and comfortable. If your looking to head to the lake and need a place to stay this place is nice. Now I don't know about a guided hunt there, but I would only assume your chances might be better. Oh we did see about 30 turkey running around on the property so if your looking to shoot a bird they are there.

I signed up for the semi-guided pig hunt. I read great things about the owner, Dee Dee and other hunter's experiences with the pig hunts. Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience. First, I left two voicemails over three days and sent an email but was never contacted. After I finally got in touch with Dee Dee, she was very helpful and I can tell she was very knowledgably about the pigs on her property. Long story short, I showed up at the property and things were poorly properly organized and everything was mishandled. Dee Dee forgot the property map. 15 mins later, she returned but

The review is a little late (was there during the middle of May) but it's still fresh in my head. I went there with my brother and a friend for a semi guided hunt. Deedy was one of the nicest people I have met. It was the first time any of us have ever attempted to hunt and she went over all the basics with us and then some. She didn't just tell us what to do, she took us out to the fields and woods and walked us through everything. The cabins were way nicer than I expected and very comfortable for 3 grown men (we even got to watch tv at night, which we weren't expecting). We were

This review is for the hunting only (they offer hunting also), not the resort itself. Three of my friends and I came up here for some pig hunting. We were told that there were many pigs on the property by Deedy. She took us on a ride and showed us pig tracks on a small to medium piece of property (it was actually a large piece of property but slightly small for a hunting property). There were tracks but we did not see anything. It was obvious to me that the pigs were nocturnal and rarely came out during daylight because of the hunting pressure as this property is hunted almost daily. This
