I've got another year left here in California and am interested in "one good hunt" that will give me a good opportunity at a California memory for the wall. Any suggestions? I'm considering free range spot-n-stalk wild boar, color phase black bear over hounds, or California quail. Quick delivery to the taxidermist in hope for delivery/completion before I leave here in Summer 2012. | ||

Maybe a hog hunt with Kyler Hammond? Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt. Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure. -Jason Brown | |||

Have you considered getting a PLM tag and going hunting for pronghorn, elk or deer on a private ranch? The PLM (Private Lands Management) program is unfamiliar to many people, but offers some outstanding hunting on private land, with a guaranteed tag and a sesson that the landowner sets. A friend of mine once purchased a PLM pronghorn tag and asked me to take him out, since he is elderly. We had a grand hunt and he shot a nice buck. He had the option of hunting a full week before the state season opened, which would be a nice advantage. Contact DFG and they'll send you a list of participating landowners. | |||

I had no idea at all that this existed in Cali. No idea at all. Regards, Robert ****************************** H4350! It stays crunchy in milk longer! | |||

I've got a distant vague memory of landowners up in Potter Valley Mendocino County getting landowner tags some 20 years ago to take introduced tule elk feeding in their ag lands? Don't hold me to it, I just sort of remember something like that. I think a trophy blacktail buck is a very fine hunt. I'd recommend a northern CA hunt with a landowner tag on private land and I believe there have been reports posted on AR of such a scenario. I'd imagine elk, antelope and certainly bighorn would be very expensive. Private land trophy blacktail should be spendy too but I'd guess not so much. | |||

Thanks guys. The PLM tag idea sounds interesting. I'll look into it. Kyler Hammond was recommended elsewhere as well. | |||

If you havent done a Wild boar hunt, they have some great hog hunts in your state. Kyler H. has a very good name out there. Dont use the guy I used who ran to North Dakota with my deposit. Good Luck, W. | |||
