Has any one booked a trip their. Is it worth the money. Thinking about booking a trip for next year.

Just go ahead and book a trip sponsored by Scales and Tails Bowfishing so you can bring me with you, and we can report back with our experience. Or better yet, trade a hunt with them that way you can bring me for free

Actually I am booking it under scales and tails lol For 2

Perfect! But as far as the hunting goes, all I can tell is what's shown on their website. I haven't heard from or talked to anybody that's hunted there. I'm sure it's like hunting in a zoo of monster bucks though. I would definately make a trip if I had a couple grand to blow...

I like zoo hunting lol I want to be able to pass on 130 all day lol

I was just looking at that place the other day.

There are also a few in Louisiana..

Never hunted there but seen plenty of hunting shows filmed there. It's like having a high fence because it sits on an island which allows them to manage the herd. Facilities look awesome and they kill some monster bucks there. I believe a guide has to hunt with you so you don't make any rack judgement mistakes. With my $, I'm going back to IL again for my 3rd year. It's about the same price but we hunt 6 days in IL.

I'm just looking for a close to home hunt I'm still planing to take my 12 day hunt in south Dakota with this being a 3 day it can happen lol

I know a guy that used to guide there and I know plenty of people that have hunted there without knowing I knew anybody and said it was a great experience I also have a lead on another place right outside of woodville that's a little cheaper and still a great experience just pm me and I can get you the number terry

You know I posted this thinking ok now I'm gonna here horror stories and change my mind. But this makes me want to go bad now. I put in a call earlier to find out the details.

If you want to hunt a high fence property, I know of one in Clinton. I actually welded most of the fence posts around the property when it was going up a few years ago. There's huge deer and a very nice lodge.

They look to be a little more expensive though...

I don't want to hunt high fence

K cool

My uncle has hunted out there off and on the last ten years. He says it badass. They used to make a lot of videos out there. Bet u could find sum on YouTube or google.

Is Woodstock the place near woodville?

That'll get your blood pumping, especially the last video

My dad did many years ago. I can ask him about it. Bow hunt?

Yea bow

High fence means high $$$ lol it's worth a call though

I've called 2 different places they don't call back lol

They probably are busy with plenty of calls and getting ready for season. They should get back to you in the next couple of days...

I have a padna that hunts there often. You'll be able to pass on deer bigger than 130 inch I assure you !!!!

I know several people that have hunted Giles Island, and a few that go every year. The only gripe I've personally heard from someone that hunted it, he disagreed with the guide on a buck's age. He raises deer and knows how to age on the hoof. Guide said 3.5, he said 5.5 and wanted to shoot.... ended up shooting an old run down 8 pt on the last day. Other than that, never heard anything but good things. I don't think you could go wrong with either Giles or Tara.

I booked at Tara well on a waiting list their already booked for next season

Giles has some really nice deer. Guides are pretty good and they are ur insurance to make sure the deer is a shooter I know a guy SPEED BANCROFT his grandpa owns Giles. I have seen quite a few deer that have came from there two on my friends wall. It is a well managed place!!

Check out the new issue of buckmasters mag for an article on Giles. Basically it talks about how the island flooded bad in 2011 and how all the deer that fled typically return. The owner let the guide shoot a 182" buck on film to get some bookings going. They killed 55 bucks over 125" last year.
