Paul Candalaria, WildHogHunts.com ripoff not as advertised did not send meat as paid for and agreed upon Gonzales & Passadena Texas
Reports of hunting wild boar of record book size - none seen over 80 to 100 lbs. Unethical practices regarding animals, left a wounded buffalo for approximately two weeks before it was finally put out of missery only afer we saw and reported.
Meals, we did eat and did not starv however for the dollar charged, it was not up to any good meal standards.
Safety issues of hunters was completely lax. Had hunters in same area telling them that they were the only ones in the same area and after shots we learned that there were other people in the same area. (Two hunters left early due to the safety issues) Paul and his so-called guides did not even wake up one morning to provide breakfast as in agreement nor did they take us to hunting sites as in agreement. We walked to an area on our own.
To top it all off, we left meat in a purchased cooler for this outfit to send to us. We paid them $20.00 just for handling with address instructions but to date we have never received the meat. Calls to Paul Candalaria are never returned, he will not provide any information on the meat or as to where it was shipped from or what carrier. The whole experience was a complete Rip Off. We are out the cost of the cooler, the $20.00 for handling plus the cost of the hunt of $399.00 and plane trip of $500.00 for each of 4 people.
