I have personally hunted with Ryan Longer several times over the last 6+ years. Most recently in December, I had a hunt booked with another outfitter in deep south Texas. We were driving from Washington State to hunt with HFF. Sadly HFF needed to cancel less then 12 hours before we were scheduled to leave. On short notice Ryan never hesitated, he said "come on down, we will make it work." Just a short 32 hour drive later we arrived. Ryan showed us a great time. I took a beautiful 40 inch scimitar Oryx, He showed us a great time and really pulled us out of a bad spot.
Over the years I have taken several gold medal axis, a stunning red stag, two bison and a record book water buffalo with Ryan Longer as well as countless hogs. Even as I type this I am packed to fly back to Texas next Sunday with 7 of my good friends for what I whole heartedly expect to be a fantastic hunt/adventure with Longer's Outdoors.
While I can not speak to the experiences of others, for me Longer's Outdoors and Ryan Longer have been extremely good to deal with and have always went above and beyond.
