I recommend Upper Cottonwood. Better scout early before Archery season starts. Go waaaaaaaay back. Steap terrain- Hope you are in shape and have good hiking boots! I have seen some pigs... not many and a few bucks. Dry year. I would immagine very few animals are passing through the area. BRING A LOT OF WATER! gets real cool in the early mornig- can be foggy and real windy, also can be hot and dryer than a popcorn fart. Goodluck!. http://www.dfg.ca.gov/lands/wa/region4/docs/ZoneADeerApplication.pdf

Also you can only put in for one place for one date.

I thought San Luis was open to hunting all year?
Cottonwood is closed off season, so first week is ~special~ and thus a drawing. No drawing needed after first week.
Lower cottonwood and San Luis are shotgun only. Unless there is an exception for first week?

Also it's only for rifle weekend archery u just show up

Not worth the time and effort doing the paperwork.

Pigs are 5 miles from the road. You shoot a pig it's a real hard work. :skeered:
