The YO is a neat big place. I always enjoy the ride from Hwy 41 to the head quarters. No telling what you will see. Only thing I don't like is the road from the gate to the head quarters. Even if you don't hunt it go to see the mounted game in the chuck Wagon and Head Quarters building. The have a couple of the largest Ibex I have ever seen mounted.

Overpriced by a pretty wide margin. Not sure why anybody would pay to hunt there. Lotta mediocre animals taken there each year too.

Yeah I don't understand the popularity of the YO. They seem high and is agree about the inferior animals.

The YO is in a class all it's own. They invented the business and tho I compete with them I don't begrudge them of anything. Any premium in pricing is still a bargain when looking at what u get for Ur money. Incredible place and organization.

40,000. ACRES OF FAIR CHASE HUNTING FOR 30 DIFFERENT SPECIES IS WHAT SEPERATES US FROM THE REST OF THE PACK. You happen to have any nice Grant's Gazelle to hunt Mr. Schreiner? And guys there is a difference in paying for a "deal" and a "quality hunt". I'm not saying deals are bad, but my first time exotic hunting in Texas wasn't exactly a memorable experience that my dad happened to get a 'deal' on. Now other places I've been to since then have for the most part been a quality hunt. There's a difference between paying $1500 for an Axis Deer and road bombing it out of a pick up truck and paying $2500 or more for working your a$$ off for one though.

YO is a great place and it's considered fair chase because of the size of the ranch but thanks I'm not paying $3500.00 + for an Axis hunt!!!!!! or $17000+ for a Kudu?????? You can go to Africa and kill a kudu and a bunch of plains game for that kind of money!!!! I'm sure they don't need my money anyway.

What is the difference in going to a place and paying more for something than you would at another? People go to Ruth Chriss and pay big bucks for a steak they could have gotten for a lot less at some other. It is all in the atmosphere and what a person can afford. If you can afford it stay at a Marriott instead of motel 6. But don't tell a person he can get the same quality of hunt at XYZ Outfitting as he would at some place that charges more.

I'm a Marriott platinum member and eat at Chris Ruth or Del Frisco whenever I want.Also I'm not telling anybody to go hunt somewhere. I'm speaking of choices you have when you spend that kind of money. Having money does not mean that you have to be stupid about it but I guess some people are.
