Let me know if I can point you in the right direction.
Another option out there is the desert. There are some mammoth bucks in the desert but I have never hunted out there
Thx. I'd like to talk to you on the phone if that's OK? If so I'll PM my #.

another forum has had a lot of discussion regarding those CNF hogs.
Got a link? I'd like to read it & search the forums.
Thank you.

The Cleveland National Forest has some of the best turkey and hog hunting in the state.
Could we talk on the phone also?

I hunted Catalina island in the 70's. Got stationed back at Pendleton in the 80's and heard they killed all the goats from helos. The game management takes some odd paths there. I shoot tourneys in central CA and there are a few stickbow shooters out this way. Petaluma is coming in Sept.
My bother took some goats out there in the early 80's. I don't understand why they would wipe them out and not capitalize on the money from hunting. Probably has to due with politics and the rich folks that live there. Petaluma is a long haul for me, doubt I could make it...thank you.

Bear State Bowhunters used to have a great range in Escondido but the city decided they could better use the property and kicked us off. The club moved the range up by lake Henshaw but as far as I know they are not taking new members right now. The website is still up though.

I don't live there now, but I grew up just outside the west edge of Yosemite.
Hey Mike
I grew up on the east side(Bridgeport)for two years I was the care taker of a ranch and the property line backed up too Yosemite's back country. Know the area well. It was little piece of heaven.

I spent a little time on the edge of the Tejon ranch just a few weeks ago. Do to my truck being slightly angry I had some time to spend glassing the country side while waiting for a tow truck. I counted 19 hogs on the one Tejon hillside that I could see. Beautiful country. I have been hunting hogs on Vandenberg AFB the last few days. Seems to be a fair number of them. They just live in big holes and thick brush
Could we talk also?
Once again thank you guys for taking the time to respond. I have plenty to research just from the posts. What do you guys know about hog hunting around Lake Sonoma?

Tell ya what after living in TX. for 27 years and my best buddy competing in BBQ cook offs and hanging out with him I learned how to cook a brisket, even though the stores around here look at me with that "doe in the headlights" look when I ask for a brisket. I BBQ at least twice a month if not more. I have a decent sized back yard as far as city living goes and have two 3d targets(hog & Coyote) and a couple bags targets.
If any of you guys want to get together eat some good BBQ and shoot the BS and some bows y'all have an open invite, just give me a shout.
