Private ranches offer exciting sport for wild pigs hunters 

 Click here for info

Deer or Bird seasons  are over in California and hunters are limited. It’s about the only  game in town, right? Wrong!  How about wild pig hunting.

 In fact, after  bear season closes in December, pig  hunting is the only big game in town!  Pigs are tough, mean and smart. A  healthy wild boar will tip the scales  anywhere between 150 and 400 pounds.  Adult boars have been known to sport  razor-sharp tusks in excess of 3 inches,  although most won’t get quite that large.  

Pigs with tusks 2 inches or longer are  considered trophies, and most private  ranches charge a trophy fee for those  types of teeth.  Wild pigs are known to be smart,  fast, ornery, tougher than nails, and  more than willing to gore the heck out  of you should you wound one and let it  get too close.

  Steep, rugged canyons, thick  bush, and mud hole washes. Those are places wild pigs like to hang out. That means you’ll have to be ready to do some brush busting and hiking in  order to flush out a pig. Particularly now because it’s  still pretty hot and the pigs will be holding tight.  

December, January, February, and March are the  best pig hunting months. When it‘s real hot pigs are  like rabbits, you almost have to step on them to kick  them out of the brush.

Fallen acorns  determine where he‘ll look for pigs. Acorns are pigs’  primary food source in the Sierra foothills. Pigs are primarily nocturnal during the hot days of  the summer, and even into the winter months they  usually stay in their “wallows" during the day and feed  primarily early in the morning and at dusk. So the best  hunting is at dawn and dusk. 

Most people hunt pigs by either spotting and stalking, or by hunting in a group and driving a pig from  it’s  wallow. 

  

(See our archived Posts to the right for more detailed pig behavior and location techniques)

          

  Almost all of the feral hogs in California came from about seven or eight  different varieties of pigs brought into  the state by early farmers and ranchers.  They attempted to raise them like cattle,  allowing them to graze freely, but so  many of the pigs escaped that most  ranchers rapidly abandoned that idea  and fenced them in.

The pigs that  escaped were the beginnings of California’s wild pig population.  Since most of the really good pig  hunting takes place on private ranches  where the hunter pays a fee and hunts  with a guide, success rates are excellent.

Prices and services vary, but most  of these private ranches offer one- or  two-day hunts complete with room and  board. Here’s a rundown on some of the  top California’s top pig hunting  ranches:

You can go to our Free Map Site, just click below for our Sister site, www.freehuntfishmaps.com , get hunting access to over 500 ranches, and  hunting clubs. Some have pig hunting guides, other are not guided. Many Public lands for pig hunting are also listed.
