I stayed here a few years back... not for hunting.. but because my bonehead son chose the absolute most remote Mission for his grade-school project. We had to stay here because it was closest to the property. We found it comfortable, clean, cozy and positively rustic. We made sure our second child chose the mission in Sonoma so that the parents can do research of another kind.

Beautiful place,

Purchased semi-guided turkey hunt for my dad and I. Had a great time! Saw lots of turkeys, hogs, coyotes, deer. Brought home two nice birds. Property was beautiful. Went scouting with Deedy upon arrival. Saw birds while scouting. Deedy set us up in a great spot. Saw turkeys both days. Perfect mix of guide to where birds are and independent hunting.

My husband came back from hunting and had this to say… You want experience, you want hog hunting info, you better book your next hunt with Deedy. Knowledge isn’t the only thing you’re going to get hunting with this guide. Deedy gave us her map of the property and told us how and where to find these animals and she wasn’t lying. Our group saw and harvested hogs that were on the property just like she said. At the end of the day after we were done hunting, we even jumped a 300 pounder. And of course we’re booking with her for next year, and you should too.

Great place to relax! I can't wait to come back in the summer time!

Nightmare come true, went to lego land with the kids and when I got back the owner had gone into my cabin, looked through my stuff and called the police because of a "dab rig" for smoking medical marijuana (and I'm a legal MM patient) the police seized my .30-06, 12 gauge, 20 gauge and a .22 LR and I never got them back!!! Thanks DeeDee, or DumDum, something like that.

I recieved a phone call last night from Deedy owner of Bryson Hesperia Resort.. Concerned and upset at my previous statement about Bryson Hesperia Resort and the service that I received. I spent what felt like forever talking about hunting, deer, pigs, lions, elk, Fort Hunter Liggett, and so on. It made me happy and relieved that someone cared so much not just about hunting but about me to call and spend her time with me on the phone. We overcame our differences in the end and I am glad we did Deedy is a wonderful person full of joys and ambition and she definitely has you in mind. I hope when you look at this understand out of all the places I have been in california. I haven't even gone hunting at Bryson Hesperia Resort and it already feels like a home. For a young guy in the military Deedy kinda felt like a mother to me she tought me something that I wish a lot of people could learn. Don't be so quick to judge a book by it's cover. I hope you all book with Bryson Hesperia Resort I guarantee you won't be let down...Well unless the water pump breaks but we are in a drought (: thank you

They cancelled our reservation without notifying us

Just back from 2 day pig hunt. Cabin was nice, guides worked really hard to get us on pigs and DD made all the arrangements.We both tagged out, in spite of the rather hot weather for that time of year. Will be going back.
★★★★★
Deedy puts on a great hunt. We did the semi-guided option and Deedy did everything she could to help us be successful. Her map is quite accurate, and she spends a lot of time helping you understand the property. In the end, it is not an easy hunt. You will have to work for your kill but it is a good hunt. Put in the times listen to Deedy, and you have a great chance to succeed here. I got the biggest boar I have ever killed here (270#)... but better than that, I learned more about how to hunt pigs.
★★★★★
These guys are the "real deal". I'm new to hunting and I hunted with Tom and learned so much. He is such a nice guy to work with. Deedy also has an incredible amount of knowledge about hunting and will fit you in to a hunt at just the right time. I recommend a full guided hunt for anyone new to the sport. The cabins are somewhat "off the grid", and I enjoyed the break from technology. I'd like to go back for a semi-guided hunt when I have the time.
★★★★☆
Nice.

Deedy knows her pigs and the ranch is beautiful. Best value pig hunt that I've taken part in. I opted for the semi-guided package. My hunt took place one evening and the following morning. With solid intel from Deedy and personal knowledge of bowhunting wild hogs I glassed up a group at last light on the opposite side of the ranch but ran out of daylight trying to get over there. The next morning I was optimistic and immediately got on a group of 12-14. Had multiple chances to put an arrow in a pig, but with on and off rain, and being so close to immensely thick bedding areas I wanted a guaranteed double lung shot or nothing. After some cat and mouse I came to full draw at 29yards, but stupidly lost sight of big momma allowing her to catch some movement and my brief window of perfect broadside closed and they quickly houdinied me in typical pig fashion. All good, I had a blast stalking that close to a group of razorbacks...these pigs are definitely direct descendants of Eurasian boar unlike the residents hogs on some other CA hunting ranches. Thanks Deedy!

Found Bryson Hesperia on the Web and saw the mixed reviews but thought I would give it a shot. Deedy is a very knowledgeable guide. She is also a very nice and since person. She gave us a nice tour of the property and set our blind up for Turkey hunting where the property owner said the turkeys were and where we saw fresh sign of both pig and turkey. Came out the next day tagged out and she even helped gut the pig for us since it was our first time being successful. Would recommend Deedy and the semi-guided hunt.

I almost feel bad writing this, because the more of you that head out to Bryson Hesparia, the fewer pigs there will be left for me! I had read all of the below reviews before booking a semi-guided hog hunt with Deedy and, because of them, didn't have very high expectations going in. Happy to say that I was proven wrong. First of all, if you're even considering hunting hog in California, you probably already know that an overwhelming percentage of the state's harvest is taken on private land. When I booked this hunt, I looked at it as a $200 trespass fee to hunt a piece of private land that most reports (even those in the reviews below) say is loaded with fresh hog signs. Search around for competing operations and you'll see that this is a steal. When I arrived, Deedy took me over to the hunting property and showed me around, pointing out pig tracks and other signs as we went. I was hunting solo, so she was even nice enough to point out some places that would make good glassing and post up points. I left feeling pretty confident that there were pigs on the property. The day of the hunt, I worked the property hard. After about two hours of searching, I ended up in a heavily oaked ravine with some obvious rooting. I kept working down the ravine, maybe another two- to three-hundred yards, seeing more of the signs that Deedy had pointed out the day before. Flipped over cow patties and tracks were everywhere. From about 150 yards out, I spotted a group of pigs, probably 10 in all. Eight of these were probably in the 60-100lb range with two being well over 200lbs. I took my shot and dropped my pig. After the dust had settled and the tag was filled, I remember thinking, "Damn, Deedy knows her stuff." To sum it up, this was a great experience and one that I'd happily repeat. Before heading out there, I think people need to set some reasonable expectations. If you're hoping for a full guided hunt, where a pro puts you on the pigs, sets up your rifle and does everything else short of pulling the trigger, go elsewhere. If you want to actually hunt for yourself, then Deedy's operation can't be beat.
★★☆☆☆
I signed up for the semi-guided pig hunt. I read great things about the owner, Dee Dee and other experiences with the pig hunts. Unfortunately, I did not have the same experience. First, I left two voicemails over three days and sent an email but was never contacted. After I got in touch with Dee Dee, she was very helpful and I can tell she was very knowledgably about the pigs on her property. Long story short, I showed up at the property and things were poorly properly organized and everything was mishandled. Dee Dee forgot the property map. 15 mins later, she returned but forgot the rifle for the hunt. Another 15 to 20 mins later, she returned to the property with the rifle. We toured the pig hunt areas for the next two hours. Dee Dee provided a carton map (not an actual map) which was difficult to orient to the property. She is a nice lady and knows pig hunting but the experience was short of a professional hunting guide and for any business for that matter. Save your money and go with a professional hunting guide.
