I know its a week or two late but here is the story. I was suppose to have a meeting with the bosses from work in fresno. they called at the last minute and backed out on me as i was walking out the door. I thought what the heck i will go drive up to the ranch and see if their is any hog sign,then maybe go back this evening if i see any fresh sign. i grabbed the rifle and headed out. I got to the ranch and drove about a 1/2 mile in. I stopped at one of my favorite spots to glass a hay field. lone and behold their was a pig in the creek at the edge of the field. I slipped down the road a liitle ways stuck my head over the bank dang hes still their. So i settle the crosshairs and bang. He spins a 360 and drops. dont know the live weight but at the butchers he weighed 157 hanging. one tooth was decent a little over 2 inches the other was broke off. nice easy 15 yard drag to the road.[attachment=46554:b_day_hog.jpg]

Nice job, BB

Are you going to cut it up yourself or take it to the butcher? Either way, I think I see some good sauage in your future, enjoy!

Thanks for the info. The hog hunting on oak tree has gotten pretty slim. Do you know any ranches in the area looking for new members??
Any info would be great.
You can email me if you want pwbeckley@yahoo.com

Thanks

That is a real nice belted hog

. I am still trying to get a hog on public out here in Coalinga. I saw a big white one during archery deer but it would have been imposible to get him out of the canyon he was in so I had to pass.

Good looking hog there. I hunt a few of the ranches up at the end of Los Gatos and have not seen a hog so CONGRATS.
