Hog Hunting Guides
hog hunting guides
I’m planning my first pig hunt in spring 2009. I’m gonna spend a few days this month scouting around for potential hunting grounds. I live in West Sacramento and hope to find somewhere within 2 hours driving distance. Below are the counties I’m I plan on scouting:
Sonoma, Colusa, Lake, and Yolo.
I also have some friends in Corning, so I may go a few extra miles just to scout the Tehama county.
I don’t have the leisure to drive uber far away, so don’t tell me to go to Monterey just because that’s where it’s at. I’m only open to public land suggestions, so don’t refer me to a guide, unless you own some property yourself and wouldn’t mind me killing hogs there.
For those of you who have hunted in those counties, I’d like your advice on where exactly I should scout and hunt in them, and what kind of success in harvesting a pig you’ve had. Thanks!
Your best bet for pigs within your parameters is probably going to be from Napa to Clearlake. I’d go down and get a BLM map of that area so you know where the public land is, then start scouting based on that. There is pretty good hog hunting just outside of Red Bluff also, since you’re open to Tehama county.
This is kind of outside of what you asked for, but there is a place in Red Bluff called ‘R Wild Horse Ranch’. You can buy a share of the ranch for anywhere from $1000- 2500 that can be willed, gifted, resold, etc. There are annual maintenance fees of around $400, but you own a piece of the ranch and can use it as such, including for excellent hog, deer and bear hunting. You also have a campground to camp at, horses and ATVs to ride, streams and ponds to fish in, etc, year round.
