Inland Hunting Properties - opinions on business

[Wapiti]

Hi all,
After an opinion from anyone who's used these guys, or has heard anything about their service, how they respond to enquiries from users and any other consumer issues?
All opinions, even if only what you've heard from others.

They just seem to be very distant and not at all good at responding to enquiries, or maybe it's just me?
If customers have issues, how do you find the ease of being able to speak with them?
It's just that - their site is full of self-praise, fair enough, but what are they like in reality?

I used them twice in the last 26 years. The first place was nsw and the second in vic.

Both places were in drought and had been absolutely bombed. People are driving around several days back to back with the next 20 bookings spotlighting are going to ensure every animal that isn't dead is running at 1000m the minute they hear a car. Having said that I managed to shoot one rabbit over a burrow at dusk with my hmr.

Geeze mate that's not a glowing report. Seems there is a lot of shooters pressure on properties that are available = shot out, probably should be given a rest.
Definitely not fair charging money if the expectation is there for reasonable hunting experience.

My issue - I've tried to contact them, seems all their "mailboxes" are full, never emptied - not very good for a business reputation. Am I being unfair? Particularly as their site is full of glowing reports of themselves, great communication, last-minute help for people stuck in a town with nowhere to hunt etc.
No return calls, answers to emails in my experience over the last week.
I'm sort if wondering, are they still an operating business?

Unfortunately, I think the reports are too common to be incorrect. Too many un-answered enquiries mentioned by people. In my case I did not have that problem when I rang them. However, there was some BS told to me about the property, and how often people went there etc. It did not add up. And the accomm was poor. I had to raid the dump to make two beds able to be slept on, and make a platform for a 180cm person to able to touch the floor on the dunny! LOL Gas leak in the kitchen. Two fridges, one with a sign that said it didn't work, so we used the other one to find it didnlt work. Turns out the one with the sign on it only had a freezer that supposedly didnt work.

And it was shot out. Only time in my life I have been away for a week and not got a pig.

Thought about it, but more negative feedback than positive.
Now they have about a $1,000 minimum so I just found my own privately advertised place.
For about $100 more, I got high-quality accom, self-guided, but saw bucks with the owner doing the buggy tour.
It was too easy, as his feed field wasn't fenced well enough, but he was a hard good worker and would have fixed that within months.
I suspect that I fluked it really.

I heard blokes turning up and the farmer had no idea they were expected.
The usual shot out stuff.

Another bloke said they had a good productive property, but only hunters that had been before were accepted.
