Hank and Bobby goes to the resort in hopes of Bobby going deer hunting, but when they arrive at the activities counter, the shuttle to the ranch would be four hundred dollars for both of them, which Hank tries to talk Bobby in doing some other resort activity that is cheaper, but Bobby refuses, and Hank pays for the shuttle to the ranch.

When they arrive to the ranch, they run into Eustice and Randy in which Randy shows his killed deer to Bobby and Hank, which Eustice mentions they wrapped it at the gift shop. They are then directed into a shooting stand in the woods, as they await their prey, an automatic feed spreader whirs into action, and deer emerge from the forest. Then Bobby and Hank realize there is no sport in killing an animal in such a fashion, and leave the resort empty handed.

Return to La Grunta[]

In the episode Return to La Grunta, Hank hears a job opening at the resort from one of the guys he was with at the hardware store, so Hank gets Luanne a job as a golf course drink girl at the resorts golf course after her loaning money from Hank. Since Hank got Luanne the job, Luanne wanted to buy a thank you gift to Hank, so she then goes to the resorts gift shop, and the clerk working at the gift shop recommended her to buy a gift certificate for a resort activities such as a round of golf, which the clerk bought for her husband. Instead of buying a round of golf, Luanne bought Hank a dolphin enounter. With Luanne's job they get benefits such as they get to eat leftovers from the buffet, and usage of the kids pool.

When the Hills and Luanne go to the resort for Hank's dolphin encounter, Peggy and Bobby go and eat at the brunch buffet, and take pictures while Hank was doing his dolphin encounter. During the dolphin encounter, Duke the Dolphin attacks Hank, and shortly after, the food & recreation resort director bribes Hank of resort benefits and a gift basket to avoid a lawsuit. Luanne then at work gets inappropriately treated by the golfers at work multiple times. When Hank tells Boomhauer, Dale, and Bill about what happened with him and the dolphin, Bill says that the same thing happened to him six and four years ago, and the resort also bought him off. Hank then grabs all of the resort stuff from the gift basket, and returns them to the dolphin encounter trainer. Hank then sees a golfer touching Luanne inappropriately, which he then grabs, and drags him into the dolphin enounter pool where Hank makes the dolphin attack the golfer. In the end of the episode, the resort brings Duke the Dolphin back to the ocean. 

The Trouble with Gribbles[]

In the episode The Trouble with Gribbles, after Nancy was done with her taping, Dale shows up telling her that he will take her to the resort for her weekend birthday, but she would rather celebrate her birthday quietly at home, but it was too late since Dale already had it billed to her credit card. Dale and Nancy were having a mud bath at the resort then rain and hale started falling which causes Nancy to rush back to the station since severe weather has started.
