Chews ridge pig hunt

[sbrooks1985]

Did a little one night trip down to chews ridge in Los Padres. Tue evening hiked along the pine ridge trail out of China camp scouting out the valley on that side of the ridge, no sign of any animals 3 miles in so called it an evening and hiked back to camp.
Wed morning woke up bright and early and checked the drainage that goes right through China camp. Found a fairly popular deer trail with a lot of deer sign, and found a bunch of pig sign, but it looked fairly old, saw some fresher stuff once the trail hit private property...go figure. Not much water out there, did stumble upon a covey of mountain quail though and a couple doe with some little ones that we're still spotted. Other than that pretty boring trip unfortunately

Thanks for the report. It may have been boring to you but I can bet that being out there was a lot better than being at home or work and thinking about hunting.

Boring in the lack of shooting sense. Never hiked in that neck of the woods, it's a lot different than the coast side, interesting terrain back there

I wonder how it is now that it's been raining.
