Ok here is the scoop about meat care of hogs. Yes they have a large walk in cooler and will skin and quarter the hog thats included If you want a full butcher job they will transport to Uvalde Butcher cost is $89 but unless you kill on 1st day or 2nd morning it won't be butchered in time to travel back with. The ranch will transport your hog or hogs to the butcher for you. The butcher does ship and has a list of charges to FedEx with dry ice packing,it isn't cheap. A list is on the web sight http://www.uvaldemeatprocessing.com/ Also if you chose not to keep your meat and no one from our group wants to take it,they will donate it to Hunters for the Hungry but there is a $30 fee the butcher charges to cut and distribute it. That can be paid right at the ranch.
There is spotty cell service,ATT works best, Verizon is iffy as we know in that area of TX They have WiFi at the lodge it's not the fastest but it works.
The tip for cook and kitchen staff is $60 per hunter, the owner had to do this because many didn't tip them at all,that will be collected upon check out. Amount of Tip to your guide is at your discretion
