Dec POR, Who's going?

[underone]

Started getting the gear together yesterday, can't wait. Who's going. Looks like this will be the only North side POR of the year.

 

[Huntr Pat]

Good luck guys. I have to pass on this again just booked my flight to Hilo,Hi to visit family and maybe try get some hunting in. So my money is spent.

I'm in...hunting the north side. I'm pretty sure I'll be the only guy with a '68 Dodge Power wagon (factory hi-boy) there so step up and say hello.

Now to hope the old beast can make the haul from here...

 

[Speckmisser]

You guys'll have a blast... just watch the fog. Doesn't look like any weather to speak of.

I was thinking about this one, but just too much going on for me right now. I'll just have to live vicariously through you guys for the weekend.

Whack 'em and get back to us with pix and stories!

So where will this be held at? Any fee? I'm interested if it's not too far and not too pricey.

I love it Phil, your like JHO's offical Tejon rep.

Hope they have fun. Those pigs can lead to frustration.

 

[huntingbret]

Ouch! Looking at those prices makes my body sore all over. Even my gun is gun-shy after seeing those prices. I know it's nothing for most hunters on here, but with me, it's a HUGE deal LOL. Public land, here I come!

 

[MJB]

Don't worry they will grow on you.


Try Bryson, good land and lots of pigs unguided is like 200 a day or something like that.

 

[Speckmisser]

LOL, Mark! I really need to talk to Don and see about getting some kind of renumeration for all this "repping" I've been doing!

Bret, maybe it seems pricey, but take it from someone who spent several years hunting public land before finally paying to play... if you want to kill pigs, it's a heck of a lot cheaper to do something like Tejon for one weekend than it is to spend several weekends hitting public land. Just my fuel costs for a few trips to public land would pay for a Tejon hunt and I have yet to pull the trigger on a pig on public land.

I realize that the kill is not the end-all, be-all of the hunt, and there's an awful lot of value in just getting out there. If the quantity of time afield is worth more to you than the quantity of animals taken, then public land may be more economical. But if you factor in shot opportunities and game sightings, then the equation definitely changes and a pay-to-play hunt is definitely a much better deal.

Heading up for the first time. I have the topo sheets for the ranch (most of it anyway). What is the dividing line between North and South Tejon? Is it a road, creek, fenceline, etc? General description would help me sort it out.

Thanks in advance...

Have fun folks, should be a great time up there.

FWIW I just stopped by the office today (finally signed up for the Spring Membership) and saw 4 big pigs milling around on the ridge above the vineyards, in the middle of the day. There are only 3 archery (north side) spots left and the rifle (south side) is full, 60 hunters on each side! Should be a heck of a Ham Slam! Can't wait for the reports..

Tunis Creek!

 

[Speckmisser]

I thought the north side on this one was any weapon? Archery only isn't until next year (January, I think)?

Anyway, surprised there are openings on either side... should be one heck of a productive hunt, especially as long as the weather holds. Sunday is looking iffy now, but everyone should be done by then.

Hey, Damien... shoot me an email.

Hmm, you're right, Maddi just said "north side, south side" and assumed north was Archery only since I was looking at the January hunt. Whoops!

You got mail!

 

[Hunt Crazy In Ca]

Damian you rollin on the january archery hunt......................Im in I have to get up there again..............soon!

 

[hifi55]

Not sure yet Bruce! I'm trying to work out a few things between work and other hunts, but I hope so! I'm definately in for the May JHO hunt!

 

[Hunt Crazy In Ca]

Sweet sounds good....hey that last por we went on wasnt it 300 or 350 bucks???

Also hey phil you puttin on another JHO hunt this year in may......sounds good

 

[Speckmisser]

Hey Bruce, doing the big hunt in May, 22-24. It'd be cool to have you join the fun. I think there's gonna be a couple of bowhunters in the mix this time.

Anyway, I'll do a formal announcement when I'm ready to start doing the apps, probably after first of the year. Stay tuned!
