Hill’s “Scenic Hills Ranch” is actually almost 2½ times the size of downtown Indianapolis where the 2024 NBA All-Star Weekend is taking place.
On the property, there are more than 1,000 different animals including impalas, zebras, elk, stags, antelope, sables, deer, kangaroos, oryx, ostrich, horses, red lechwes and more.

The long-bearded Drash, a Louisiana-bred sportsman, taught Hill how to shoot and break down a rifle, hunt wildlife and even make deer jerky on ranches in Texas Hill Country. Since then, Hill has hunted in Africa, Mexico and all over Texas. The heads of a hippopotamus, giraffe, bear and several other prized game Hill has hunted are now hanging in his garage of his home on the ranch.
“Mr. Drash showed me what it was to really live,” Hill said. “And ever since then, I was like, ‘Man, if I ever make enough money and [I am] fortunate enough, I want to own my own ranch, put in a trust and pass down to my kids to start a generational wealth type of thing. They always say most African American kids, when their parents or their grandparents die, they’re left with debt and not with equity.
“I don’t want to leave my kids in debt. I want to leave my kids with something that’s going to start generational [wealth]. Start them off better, and to a better career path. So, I’m going to own a ranch and I will put into my kids trust fund and it’s going to be a family ranch forever. So that’s how this came about. That’s how the whole ranch started.”

Hill says his ranch has over 1,000 animals bought primarily from two different breeders in Texas. One female African sable cost $70,000. But there are hundreds of acres to hide in so it’s hard to see most of the animals that get scared from any automobile sound or human scent detected from afar.
“The animals don’t want you to see them. They won’t come out. Animals can be sitting in the trees right now and we would never know,” Hill said. “You scare one out because you either rode right past it, it smelled you a certain way or they feel threatened. So, they get up and run. Like the zebra probably wouldn’t have got up unless he probably just smelled us. Or he heard things and was like, ‘Okay, I’m moving.”

that’s a lot of ranch sauce
George Hill has made 113 million in career earnings
Hills’ Hills
Watching dude ‘s play ball is fun but seeing the other things they are passionate about is very cool.
The animals don’t want to be seen and hide because they are probably aware that they live on land owned by a murderous psychopath who shoots them dead and hangs their cut off heads on a wall.
He literally is the Predator
And Reggie Bullock has an island
Imagine shooting a giraffe, wtf
Hill pulling the ole “you can’t see them cuz they’re scared”
I see you George, I wasn’t familiar with your game
Herb Jones is currently doing this, but for fishing. The man just wants to fish.
Trophy hunting is disgusting
Maybe it’s just me, but if you want to leave behind generational wealth fir your family, I feel like paying 70k for sables isn’t the best way to do it. Is this ranch really going to become profitable?
Stop taking animals out of their natural habitat.
I love red lechwes, truly beautiful animals
This is not the brag that they might have wanted this to come off as. I feel gross having read this, trophy hunting is disgusting and so is taking animals out of their natural habitat for your own enjoyment.
What a piece of shit hunting trophies of hippos, giraffes, bears and other animals. Hope he goes broke and the ranch becomes a wildlife sanctuary not a playground for him to kill living beings. Trash human
Wow, today I realized I hate George Hill lol
Lmao glad he’s getting dragged for this. There’s infinite better ways to invest your money. Fuck George Hill
Hunting a fucking hippo?
You’d be surprised how fast the money goes when you’re building a weird giant zoo. Gotta feed them, maintain enclosures, pay vet bills, keep a full time staff.. to each their own I guess, but it’s weird he’s talking about accruing generational wealth while wasting it on a personal menagerie.
You know what, if had money like this bum, instead of going around decapitating animals to mount on my wall, i would build sanctuaries of all kind and immerse my gwap in ecotourism
I loved George Hill as a player, but this stupid
You suck george hill
My sister raises exotic game animals, but if she has ever dealt with Hill, it was probably through 3rd parties or some such. Those fuckers are expensive. She went into a freak out when a bongo she has bought for breeding showed up sick and she was going to be “out $50K!”
My sister is batshit crazy and we are not close. She is from our dad’s #2 wife who left her a bunch of money and she is an Aggie horse girl.
Anyway, Hill’s property is a little north and west of me (I live outside SA too, in the same county as him, at least) I only have 10 acres and a few cows because I am not an NBA journeyman with a long career…
EDIT: I should point out that while I think its cool to just have lots of amazing animals to look at, raising them for some rich asshole to shoot and hang on his wall – like my sister does. Its a MASSIVE business here in Texas. Not my bag, something about it just bugs me.
Welp, yeah, this guy can go fuck himself.
Game hunters are cowards. Nothing manly about hiding in a bush and shooting an animal that is minding its own business
I’ll prob be downvoted but I just cannot see the appeal in killing animals for fun. Like I guess I can understand the thrill of killing…? Idk bro but having a ranch is sick. Couldn’t imagine hitting Africa to go kill some shit tho.
What a weirdo
> what it was to really live
Slaughtering large slow moving animals in a cage. Weird as hell.
George Hill and the leeches in his orbit are dumb as rocks and just tryna get to the strip club and their local SA fixer buddy brings them high end prostitutes. This article is such fluff
What exactly is admirable about this? God damn idiot hope his whole plan for “generational wealth” gets completely obliterated
This sounded cool at face value, but what the fuck. It’s really close to where I live, but I’ve never heard of it. “Trophy hunting” is disgusting and shouldn’t exist in a modern society.
Exact kind of thing i’d expect this sub to cry over
Never change /r/nba
Wtf
Screw this guy
> Mr. Drash showed me what it was to really live
This is some shit straight out of the Great Gatsby lol
The unfortunate thing about all this is that he gets his animals from shady ass breeders. Zebras don’t belong in god damn Indiana and neither do 95% of the imported garbage he put there. Shame.
What missing a free throw does to a mf
Wow, I had no idea that I didn’t like George Hill. Here’s to hoping the rest of his career sucks!
Man can shoot a hippo but can’t shoot one free throw, smh
Imagine Hill just thinks all of the over 1000 animals are hiding, but they really all ran away years ago and the ranch is completely empty?
Sorry but I don’t trust the intentions of someone who flies all over the planet to shoot and kill wild animals just to cut their heads off as trophies and hang them on a wall. There’s out of touch rich people, then there is this.
