I had an amazing time, and would definitely come back. Dewey and Dylan were great guides and made sure everyone killed a hog. The chef Tiffany cooked good food and everyone there was friendly.

Some buddies and I recently went on a hog hunt and it was an absolutely incredible experience, and I cannot recommend him enough. From the moment we met at 0500, Dewy was the consummate professional – polite, direct, and completely focused on ensuring a successful and safe hunt. He was always right there, giving clear directions and his experience was very apparent. The thrill of hunting was amplified by his tough as nails well-trained dogs. Ultimately we were able to kill two hogs using the traditional method with dogs and a knife, making for a truly memorable and authentic adventure. At around 1030, we returned to the lodge for a delicious, home-cooked breakfast that was the perfect end to a great hunt. The entire experience was awesome from start to finish, and I am already planning my next trip back. If you are looking for a top-notch hog hunting experience, reach out the Shady Grove Outfitters.

A World‑Class, Family‑Owned Hunting Experience I’ve hunted hogs in Hawaii and California, but nothing compares to Shady Grove. I finally had the opportunity to hunt with dogs and a knife—something I’ve dreamed of for years—and Shady Grove made a dream come true. As a guide myself, I know there are many out there that don’t possess the experience and knowledge I saw with them. This family‑owned business operates with true professionalism and genuine hospitality. They worked three military guys into their schedule on a whim and still delivered a successful morning hunt for all of us. Afterwards, they fed us and even offered to let us fish. That level of care and generosity is rare. I’ll go broke trying to go back, and it would still be worth every penny.

Fantastic! All done the right way. We hunted 3 nights and saw hogs all 3. Dylan was our guide and definitely knows the lay of the land and patterns. Also, with Tiffany cooking you’re going to gain weight. We hunt a lot of places and These folks are legit and honest. Well done Shady Grove! Ken Montgomery

First time hunting with this place and I have to say I will absolutely be back! I've tried other hog hunting places in Alabama and have never been satisfied with the experience until now. Dylan, our guide, went above and beyond to make sure we had successful hunts (I got 2 nice ones). All around 10/10 experience and highly recommend them. Great family operation and they treat you like you're part of it.
★★★★★
Great place to go for a good deer hunting vacation. Always taken care of and the guides are great.

★★★★★
We had a great time over the weekend! Shady Grove Outfitters does not disappoint. Good home cooking food too!!. This is our second year hunting there n we will be back!
★☆☆☆☆
Horrible absolutely horrible if I could give a negative review I would. Out of 4 hunters we had nobody shot a buck.. used car sales man games would never hunt there again. We slept in a tough shed bare bones outfitter. Save your money.
★★★★★
Took a group of 8 customers to Shady Grove Outfitters it was great. Plenty of Big Bucks for everyone. Guides were awesome. Amenities and food were fantastic. Nothing like them South Alabama wood bottoms. They got them.
★★★★★
Hunting with Dewey was a great experience from start to finish. As a single woman, feeling comfortable in camp and in the woods mattered to me, and Dewey made that easy right away. He's professional, respectful, and genuinely easy to be around. Dewey knows his land, reads deer well, and puts in the work to give you the best chance at a successful hunt. Everything was well organized, safe, and run the right way. It was a relaxed, enjoyable hunt with someone who clearly knows what he's doing. I saw over 10 deer every sit and was able to fill a tag with a mature buck. I'd hunt with Dewey again without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a solid, trustworthy outfitter.
★★★★★
Austin and the whole team are awesome good food good hunting good times would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to go on a guided hunt two thumbs way up
★★★★★
Shady Grove was an awesome experience. Couldn’t ask for much more. I left that place a better Hunter I learned a lot. Austin was my guide if you are a real Hunter and you can hunt from dark till dark. Austin is the guide for you. He will put you on some trophy Bucks
