"1st class experience. The lodge is beautiful and comfortable but the chef stole the show. The food was on another level. Some of the best spreads I've ever seen. The hunt was great too."

"The accommodations were excellent.
Nice lodge to hangout and everything we ate there blew us away (no pun intended).
The meals prepared by Chef Michael was better than most restaurants I've been to recently. They are lucky to have him!"

"From the very first contact on the phone and emails everyone was gracious, hospitable and welcoming. After many many years of hunting quail at different locations and training my own dogs, I can highly recommend this ranch. It is a first class operation. Justin and his dogs put on a great quail hunt. The birds flew very well and the dogs were steady on the birds. Michael the chef put out a delicious lunch of pheasant. We will be back."

"What an experience! First time going gator hunting with my 7 year old son and we were able to catch an 11ft and 9ft gator. Our guide Pedro was phenomenal and very knowledgeable. From the chef, to the rooms, the staff, the hospitality, and the ranch itself, everything was a great experience. Looking forward to future hunts and making this an annual tradition."

"Lightsey Ranch is a wonderful place for those who like getting outdoors and experiencing hunting on many different levels. The operation is very well run and in many years of going there have never had one issue whatsoever. My experience has been with quail hunting and having done it at several places cannot say more about what a pleasurable experience it is hunting at Lightsey. I know that I speak for myself and the friends that hunt with when I say we are 100% satisfied.

"Once again, over 20 yrs hunting with Lee. Never a dull moment. Your guides are great. Killed 2 sows, Just what we wanted. We also quarter our own. This time beat the guide. My son has hunted here since he was 8yrs old( the old property) now for his 25th birthday. The last 2 yrs at your new place. Will add pictures. I still don't understand why most shoot so many rounds? We are 2 shots and done. Guess you got to be a country boy! Lee my son Ryan still wants to come guide for you, ask your guides they will tell you He is good. These are from 2019 thru 2022
