I am in the Bay Area and wanted to see if any California Pig hunters knew of a good spot nearby to hunt some pigs on public land. If you could be as specific as possible that would help. Thanks in advance.

I have hunted a few times for pigs on public land, but the many times and many hunters that tried, we were never had any luck. Better than 90% of the pigs in Calf are taken on private land.

I joined a hunting club a few years back and have had margianl success, 1 a year average, but there are also some ranches where you can get a guided hunt.

Two years ago my friend and I hunted Twisselman Ranch, north of the 58 in San Luis Obispo county. About 120,000 acres. We both took pigs, and there were plenty there. Cost was about $500.

You could try Ft Hunter Ligget, but sucess there is also not that good.

I hope this helps.

I forgot to post a number for Twisselman Ranch, Rich Heyl 805-469-2207. When I went there cabins were available at no cost.

Thanks, I think I will try to join one of the hunting clubs in CA with access to lots of private land.

Try this hog forum, lots of CA folks there. Many threads on NoCal hog hunts
