California pigs

No, I'm not talking about our unesteemed Senators or even the hapless legislature here. I bought my new hunting license yesterday and decided to go ahead and get the five wild pig tags for a tad over nine dollars. Problem is, I really have no idea where one can find wild pigs here in the Southern Califonia Inland Empire region. I hike and camp in the wilds here every weekend and never never seen one or, as far as I know, any sign of one. Anyone know where I might get a shot at one of these without paying through the nose to take a guided hunt on private land?

Heard of some being harvested on the back side of Silverwood Lake.
Good luck! 101

I think that you will find that wild pigs are scarce in your area. Throughout California, although there is a large population, most of the pig hunting opportunities are on private land. That's not to say that you can't find them on public land, just not as easily. The best venue closest to you would be the Pig-O-Rama put on several times a year at Fort Tejon Ranch. I've heard only good things about their operation and the quality of the hunting. The drawback is the price - $300 for the weekend. The link above has lots of info that is California-specific. If you find your way to their discussion forum, you'll find many participants from Southern California who will be willing to help you out. Good Luck!
