Welcome to the Hog Blog and thanks for the update, Nate!

Yeah, I doubt anyone will ever put a significant dent in those hogs at Tejon. They’re pretty well established and in great numbers.

I hope the roads are a bit more manageable next weekend, although I think I could have reached most of my favorite spots anyway. As always, I have LOTS of rope.

I don’t think it would ever be possible to kill all the hogs off that ranch. There are plenty left. Phil, the final tally was 7 kills for 11 hunters. Cool story. You guys should have plenty of hogs to chase around next weekend. Hopefully drier roads too. I can’t wait to get back!

Thanks, Rex… if they killed them all, I’m heading to Mississippi.

Holly, with the exception of one, all of the hogs I’ve killed at Tejon have been very tasty… even the 300lb boar I shot there two years ago. The habitat there is varied with everything from agricultural crops to acorns and wild oats and barley, so there’s no shortage of food. In the late winter and through the spring, the hogs are usually fat and sweet.

Dang, those are big pigs. Mmmmmmm … sausage….

What are they eating down there? What I mean is, what do they taste like?

Phillip,

I’ll have to put it on my to-do list. It would be awesome to head out west and knock one of those pigs down:)

Aw, come on Arthur. My brother flies out from NC every year or so to hunt with me. It’s do-able!

Deerslayer, thanks! I’ll have a look at your new site and see about getting a link added here.

And Great White… shoot me a line if you’re really interested. My next available hunt at Tejon is Memorial Day weekend. $450, and I’ll guide you myself (unofficially, as I don’t work for Tejon). Not that it takes a lot of guiding there. It’s prime habitat, and with a few pointers most decent deer hunters can lower the crosshairs on a nice hog… most of the time. It’s still 100% fair chase, so there’s definitely a possibility of getting skunked, but if you’re willing to work for it, the odds are quite good.

That just looks so dang fun! I checked out the prices at Tejon, and while I don’t doubt that the land is primo, I can’t really tell my wife I spent $900 on a guided pig hunt and expect to live through the night. So I need someone with some serious experience to volunteer to teach a decent deer hunter how to find and kill hogs on one of those unguided jobs. Any suggestions?
