testimonials about y-bar ranch
ED And Robin
We have hunted at the Y-Bar for several years. Never have been disappointed. Plenty of game, the guides know where the game is located, and after the hunt you got back to excellent food and friendly people. The administrative process is quick and easy thanks to professional personnel, and we will continue to be happy patrons as long as we are welcome there. Thanks again!

Hi Steven,
My name is Scott , we have met a couple times while we have been to your ranch hog hunting. We recently finished a five-day hog hunt at your ranch. This year marked the 30th year that we have been coming down, with only one of the original members of our crew left. We lost two of our crew this past year (Chuck & Matt ) and were able to honor them well during this year’s hunt, really appreciate the opportunity to build camaraderie at your ranch as we all come from different areas.
We especially want to call out Andy as our guide, he goes above and beyond to ensure we have successful hunts and are taken care of well. He is honest, communicates well and truly cares, he represents your ranch exceptionally well!
I would also like to compliment Jacob on his professionalism and service as well as a shout out to Shawn for stepping up and helping as a hog guide.
Additionally, Diann delivers exceptional hospitality, always checking in to see if we need anything and making sure our rooms bring comfort. We sincerely appreciate her and all she does!
It’s people like Andy and Diann that keep us coming back and we sincerely appreciate them!
We are excited to come back next year and continue on with this group’s tradition
Thanks again, Steven and I look forward to connecting with you down the road. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out of you have any questions.

Hello Melissa, when the experience far exceeds the expectation I felt compelled to send a big thank you to all for the hunt my daughter and I went on. Louie and Curtis were awesome guides and Louie got my daughter on a beautiful 10 point with 21" inside spread, a true wall hanger in my book. Curtis allowed me hunt as I wanted and put me on 4 nice bucks with me taking a 8 point with tall tines. I thank Steven Mafrige for opening the ranch to hunting and also was impressed that he and Corby got in on finding my daughter's deer. One last thing, Chef Chris made an array of culinary dishes that blew us away, we are still talking about that food. Send me the dates that are open for next year because we definitely would like to come back if at all possible.

Hi Melissa,
Ed and I wanted to send a thank you to the Y Bar Staff for the great time we both had. In particular, thanks to Shaun and Ben for the time and attention they gave to making Ed's hunt such a great experience.
We want to schedule for 2013. We looked up the phases of the Moon and note that there will be a new moon on December 2. So can we schedule for Ed to hunt on 1-3 December with me as an observer again. What's the difference in price for a couple of does nice a buck and a doe (hogs included). We are ready to work a contract and pay for the hunt.
Again, thanks to all, have a great holiday.
Sincerely, Ed and Robin

Steve,
I would like to thank Big John and the rest of the staff at the ranch for the great hunt Don and I had. Although the odds were against us 80 degree weather and a full moon John and the rest of the staff went out of their way to show Don and I a good time. This was our 6th time at the ranch and I have to say we never had such a good time as this hunt. we will be talking about his hunt for a long time.Don wanted to to send thanks to everyone for helping him with is disability.
Thanks again for the great time

Questions/Comments: I did a hog hunt at the YBar a couple of years ago and had a blast. I have a small group that is talking about returning to the YBar for another hunt. We would like to do the Doe/Hog hunt. My question is can we substitute a javelina for one of the hogs on this hunt. Please let me know as soon as possible as we are ready to book a hunt now.
Thanks,
Monty

Steve,
Please extend a hearty thank you to your people for making my group's weekend a memorable one. Ben and Nacho worked hard to put us all on hogs and it was appreciated and obvious to each in my group. I believe I have 100% re-up from my group for next year same dates roughly. If you can squeeze us in earlier We will take it. My grandson, while not getting his own hog, the trip was a huge success with a 7 foot diamondback with his grandpa's Kimber. He skinned it and rolled it up in a ziplock bag and took it back to Raleigh in his carry on luggage. Kourtney the cute 16 year old cousin of mine got her hog Friday night with her .243 and "cut hair" Saturday night with her bow behind your house at the tripod blind.
Thanks for a great weekend.

Steven,
Just wanted to thank you and your staff for a great dove hunting trip this week. We limited out each day on dove and the hospitality & food were great!
Coaching college football for 24 years, I got to see a lot of different hunting operations around the country and Y-Bar Ranch ranks right at the top. You and your staff made all feel welcome and provided a relaxed atmosphere to get away from the pressures of the "real world".
Thanks again for a great time !

Steven once again thanks for the great TX experience. We all had a riot!
Everything was top notch as always. Let Becky know the food was delicious. Pass on the word to Roger, Andy & Nacho all the guys really enjoyed having them as our guides. Nacho did a great job this year on his own, he is a great asset to the ranch. Its been neat watching him raise in the ranks.
Let me know the dates we have to choose from in 2012.

Steve,
I want to let you know that I had a blast turkey hunting at the ranch two weekends ago. Shawn did a great job calling the birds and made the entire experience fun. You have a beautiful ranch with great opportunities to see diverse south Texas wildlife. I would like to see about booking a guided turkey hunt for me and my dad next spring (2014) for the second or third weekend of the season. Let me know if either of those times works for you. I want to make sure we can get our names on the books before the hunts fill up.
Thanks again for a great spring hunt and I look forward to next season.

Dear Cabela's Outdoor Adventures,
I am writing to you to let you know what a great hunt I had at the Y Bar Ranch. The staff were all friendly and ready to help in any way, from the Ranch Manager to the Housekeeping personnel.
My guide Shawn was excellent at finding and calling in the gobblers. On the morning of the second day Shawn had called in two really nice gobblers within hours of each other, both were trophy birds with over one inch spurs and 8.5+ beads.
I'll recommend this hunt to my friends and may make this a yearly hunt at the Y Bar, see photo's attached.
A Big Thanks to the Y Bar and Cabela's Outdoor Adventures.
Regards,
Robert (Bob) .........

Our team visited the ranch to relax and have a great hunt, and I must say we were extremely happy with the weekend. The facilities are stellar, Steven and his team are second to none, and we've got deer meat to last us for months. We've been to many other ranches, but have found our home at YBar Ranch!
