Hi Saddlers,
I have a work trip to the west coast coming up and will be stuck there for a weekend. Wild hog hunting is permitted in CA all year, so I'm thinking why not take my bow and see whether I can find one. Problem is, I don't have the first clue about pig hunting (or hunting in CA for that matter).
Here is where I am at so far:
Where
- I will be in Monetery, so I checked public lands in the area. The best I was able to find so far is the Clear Creek BLM area (Monterey Ranger district is mostly closed because of a burn)
- Not sure where there exactly though, will have to look for sign or bedding areas once I'm there
How
- Spot and Stalk during the day and hunting fresh sign (should I find any) in the early AM and late afternoon
- Hunt the wind
- Did my homework on killing zones and such
That's about it - how hard can it be Probably won't even see a pig...
Any input welcome! Thanks!
