Larry, I wanted to take a moment to send you a letter in regards
to our recent hunting adventure at your establishment, Stone’s Guided Hunts. My son, Trevor,
recently turned thirteen in June of 2015. My wife and I wanted to give him a gift that he would always
remember and talk about on such an important occasion, becoming a teenager! Living in the Panhandle of
Florida, Trevor was accustomed to and enjoyed hunting deer and turkey however he had yet to harvest a wild Florida boar.
After a lengthy process of online research we reached out to three possible outfitters whose information appealed to
us and looked like a possible choice for the excursion we were looking for. From my first verbal contact with Larry, who called
in response to our online inquiry, I was impressed and looking forward to working with his outfit. We discussed
Trevor’s hunting experience and what his preferences might be. Lodging at his camp was reserved and
the date was booked for a weekend in July. We
arrived on a Friday afternoon and the fun began with scouting on a Swamp Buggy. Later that evening
Trevor harvested his first wild boar which weighed about 250 pounds! The next morning brought another
successful hunt which harvested a meat hog for the family. The service we received at Larry’s
was excellent! Larry was a knowledgeable guide and ensured all had a great time.
Staff was available to handle skinning and cleaning the hogs after each hunt. Thank you so much
to Christy. The location
was convenient to necessities yet remote enough to be secluded and be a real hunt. I would encourage any
father who wants to get his son away from the Xbox for a weekend to check this place out. Our expectations
were certainly met and we will definitely look into some of the other hunts available at this outfit the next go around.
This was a great birthday gift for Trevor and it is something he will never forget. Thanks again, James Bengry *********** Hi Larry, As I thought, several members of my hunting club in New York are interested in going hog hunting with you. My son Keith is coming down on April 13th and he will be going along with probably one other for this time. A few other members will be making arrangements to fly down shortly after that. I think it would be a good idea to get them here before it gets too hot. So far about 10 have expressed an interest. When I get
back to NY in the middle of May I'll show the videos I took and more will be interested.
I'll take more when Keith comes down and hunts with you. What
is your availability?

Larry,
We were 100% satisfied with our wild boar hunt
at Stone's Quail Hunting property in Lake Wales, Florida. Stone's 1500 acres of
land that is as natural as it was 100 years ago borders on thousands more acres of state land that is just teaming with
wildlife.
An abundance of deer and turkey sign along with wild, free range
hogs made for a very enjoyable day. Our 5 hours in the woods
went too quickly.
We will be back.

Justin,
My name is Jim Edwards. Last wednesday my son David
and I had a hog hunt with Larry and let me tell you it far exceeded my
expectations.
David got his first bow kill, a nice 180 pound boar and we met a couple of other great guys hunting with Larry who
also had success. Larry worked hard for us not only to see that our hunt was
successful but he did every thing possible to see
that we had fun and enjoyed
the complete experience. We had a good lunch , shot some clay pigeons and he even let David work
out with him in his weight room. Larry is more than an outfitter he is a hunters friend.

Larry,
Michael and I had a wonderful time yesterday.....he
hasn't stopped talking about the entire morning.....thank you very much.
Thanks......we
will come again....perhaps two other grandsons who are coming in a week.

Hi Larry, Attached are
a couple of pictures you may want to start with. I have more along with some video on a disk and
will
send it in the mail. I think the files are too large for AOL to handle. You
did a great job and your facility is the best
I have ever seen. We will be back for more hawg hunting and of course turkey. We didn't see any deer this time but from what I saw in your lodge
it looks like they get as big as they do in New York. Regards, Ken Battcher ********** |
Larry,
Eric and I would like to thank you for a great hunt. You went above and beyond to accommodate our needs and to make
sure we had a successful hunt. This was our first hog hunt and we were very pleased with the nice sow we harvested. You were
very professional and friendly and did not try to push us out of there after the kill, like many other guides do. We will
definitely be
back next year and would recommend you to anyone looking for a great hunt.
Thanks
again. Eric and Mary Wilson.
