HUNT DETAILS:
This outfitter offers fully guided and outfitted Wild Boar hunts across 80,000 acres of private ranchland on California’s Central Coast—an area known for exceptional hog density and high-success hunting. Hunters commonly encounter 20–40 or more wild pigs per day depending on the season, creating an exciting and action-packed experience. Spot-and-stalk hunting is the primary method, with ground blinds available for archery hunters seeking a more stationary setup. Most hogs average around 160 pounds, with some impressive boars exceeding 300 pounds. The terrain features classic rolling oak hills that taper into brush-filled canyons where hogs retreat during the heat of the day, offering excellent opportunities for stalking and glassing. Decades of dry-land barley and irrigated alfalfa farming also provide a rich food source, drawing pigs heavily—especially from May through July, when concentrations peak.

Hunts are typically arranged as two-day packages, offered either on weekends (Friday–Sunday) or weekdays (Tuesday–Thursday). Guests generally arrive at or after 1:00 p.m. on day one to sight in their weapons and begin their first afternoon hunt, with checkout at 1:00 p.m. on day three. Throughout the hunt, guests can expect full days in the field, breaking only for lunch midday. Guides focus on locating pigs early in the morning and again in the evening as they move between bedding areas and feeding grounds, while midday sun often creates ideal spot-and-stalk opportunities along shaded hillsides. These hunts are well-suited for all experience levels—from first-time hunters to lifelong sportsmen—and can be tailored to various physical abilities. Archery and rifle hunters are both welcome.

Each package includes the opportunity to harvest one wild pig, with additional hogs available at an added fee for hunters who have secured extra tags. The outfitter provides transportation while in the field, drinks and snacks, complete game cleaning and skinning, and two nights of lodging with meals included. Hunters simply need to bring a valid California hunting license, California pig validation, appropriate firearm or archery equipment, copper ammunition for rifle hunts, quality hiking boots, warm clothing, and binoculars.

Wild pig hunting is open year-round in California, making this an outstanding adventure for hunters seeking excitement, high animal numbers, and memorable time in the field.

BLACKTAIL DEER/WILD PIG COMBO:
This outfitter offers an exciting Blacktail deer and wild pig combo hunt designed for big-game enthusiasts seeking a dynamic and rewarding experience on California’s Central Coast. Known for providing some of the best Blacktail deer hunting in the country, these private ranches routinely produce exceptional deer numbers, with hunters commonly seeing 15–20 bucks per day. The archery season opens on the second Saturday in July and runs for 23 consecutive days, followed by rifle season beginning the second Saturday in August and continuing for 45 days. With a proven 100% harvest success rate on Blacktail deer, hunters can expect a truly productive and memorable pursuit.

Complementing the deer hunt is the opportunity to pursue wild pigs in the same diverse habitat. Expansive oak woodlands, brush-filled valleys, and agricultural fields create an outstanding environment that supports high pig densities year-round. Hunters often encounter 20–40 pigs per day—sometimes more—ranging widely in size and color. The operation maintains a 100% shot opportunity on wild pigs, making this combo hunt an ideal way to maximize time in the field. Spot-and-stalk hunting is the primary method for both species, with ground blinds utilized for archery hunters who prefer a stationary setup.

The structure of the combo hunt includes dedicating the first portion of the trip to harvesting a Blacktail deer before shifting focus to pursuing wild pigs. This format allows hunters to immerse themselves fully in each species’ unique behavior and strategy while experiencing two highly successful hunts in one adventure. With abundant game, beautiful country, and exceptional consistency, this combination package offers a thrilling opportunity to double up on two iconic California species—a hunt that truly stands out as one of the best available.

TURKEY/WILD PIG COMBO:
This outfitter offers an exciting combination hunt that pairs high-opportunity Rio Grande turkey hunting with fully guided wild pig hunts on the same expansive private ranches along California’s Central Coast. The spring turkey season begins the last weekend of March and runs for 45 consecutive days, with archery and junior hunters enjoying an additional two weeks of opportunity after the general season closes. With prime habitat and expert scouting, hunters typically encounter 15–20 birds per day. Guides thoroughly locate roosting sites in advance to maximize early-morning success when gobblers fly down, while skilled calling and strategic mid-morning setups often produce additional action throughout the day. Hunters remain in the field from dawn until the California-regulated closing time of 5:00 p.m., with a midday lunch break to regroup before the afternoon pursuit.

In addition to the thrilling turkey hunt, guests can elevate their experience by adding a fully guided wild pig hunt on the same remarkable properties. These ranches feature rolling oak hillsides and brush-filled canyons that hold exceptional numbers of wild pigs in a range of sizes and color phases. Hunters typically see 20–40 pigs per day depending on the season, with average hog weights around 160 pounds and some impressive boars surpassing 300 pounds. Spot-and-stalk hunting is the primary method, though ground blinds are used for archery hunters seeking quieter, close-range opportunities.

This combination hunt provides a dynamic, action-packed adventure—offering the excitement of early-morning turkey calling paired with the high-success, adrenaline-filled pursuit of wild pigs. It is an ideal option for hunters looking to maximize their time afield and experience two of California’s most rewarding pursuits in one unforgettable trip.
