Okay,
Here's the update on Cedar Canyon Ranch:
Imported Russian Hogs via Canada.
Ranch is 640 Acres and the total fee including the Hog is currently $400.00 but is going up soon to $500.00 . There are places to pitch tents park trailers etc...
This is "Put and Take" and the Hogs are "Ear Tagged". There are about 160 Hogs currently on the ranch. No lic. or tags required as the game is imported.
They drive you in, drop you off and pick you up. They'll gut skin and quarter for $25.00 and even have a tax service.
The guy says; "It's a pretty good challenge for Bow and Pistol Hunters and maybe a little bit challenging for rifle with some of the cross canyon shots as long as 200 yds."
I don't know bout you guys but once again...I'll earn mine by hunting hard or go home with an empty cooler.

I talked to some bowhunters who hunted there.
If hog is over 200 lbs live weight you pay extra. That's LIVE WEIGHT, not field dressed
You whack a wet sow and it's $800.
Bowhunters have their arrows marked so there is no sneaking several shots. You stick one and lose it and they find it a week later you pay for the hog.
There is probably more rules so I would get it straight what extra fees there are before hunting there. Trophy fees, size of cutters etc.

OK, I'm ready to catch some heat on this. But I spent last weekend hunting the Cedar Canyon Ranch, and had a great time. Only disapointment was that my son was one of the 2-3 hunters who didn't get a pig.
This is a so called "put and take" 640 acre (1 sq. mile) fenced game ranch. It is stocked with imported pure European pigs. The terrain is extremely challenging. If you've hunted the Tejon Ranch, it's the same steep canyons, oak grove, sage brush mix. In fact the other side of the fence is the north end of the Tejon Ranch.
They limit the amount of hunters on the property to 10. It's all walking up and down the various canyons and meadows.
In the past I've hunted Catalina Island, Tejon Ranch, Carrizo Plain, Coalinga Mineral Springs, and some other places. This ranch hunt is as challenging as any of those spots. And the pigs are wild. If they see you or smell you, they're gone. The first one I saw was feeding under the oaks around 40 yards away. Thought it would be easy, but when I unsnapped my holster, he heard it and was gone. The two of us hunted from first light to dark two days and came up with one pig. We probably saw about 30-40 during the 2 days, but most were cross canyon out of pistol range, or breaking out of the sagebrush at full speed.
My pig was just luck on my part. We were trying to kick em out of the brush and my son had one break out and cross over to my side of the canyon. A running shot at around 15 yards with a .454 Casull. The round entered the shoulder, went downward thru the heart (luck again) and broke the other shoulder. It was about 180 lbs, with 2" tusks.

I believe that place is one I posted awhile back. Bill from Bill Taylor's Taxidermy in Hunington Beach is one of the owners of that place. He told me all about it when I had my wifes pheasant mounted. Congragulations and tell us how the meat compares to our wild pigs when you get a chance.

John not from me.
When I belonged to the American sportsman club they had a ranch up in that area called black oak it's was the hardest deer hunting I have ever done it was 3000 acres and it took me 3 years to get my first deer off of it, the Cyn. where almost unhuntable because of all the Veg. and straight up and down it was loaded with deer seeing them during shooting time was another thing.
GOOD JOB

Congrats John.
Nice looking hog.

They get quite a few bow hunters there. It's probably good for bowhunting early and late. But when they start moving back to their beds they keep in tight cover. If you find a well used trail you can maybe ambush them coming or going. Problem is I always ended up across a canyon from the trials they were using.
In the afternoon you have to go break brush and try and jump shoot them. Which probably isn't going to work with a bow.
There's no crops there, so they appear to feed under the oaks or in the meadows. There's one spring on the property, and they have to water there some time during the day. So the spring, or some of the trails leading to it would be good ambush points too.
