FHL luck lately?

[gasdocwannabe]

Has anyone had any luck lately on FHL??? Trying to decide if its worth the trip in a week or so.

I haven't been in a year or so. I'm wanting to give it a shot after the Memorial Day hunt at Camp Roberts though. I hope you come back with good news.

Hello Everybody!

This is my first post since becoming a new member. My brother and I have been at FHL for the past two weekends and have come up empty! Last weekend a turkey was pulled out and the weekend before one pig and one turkey. The area is extremely wet and all the good areas are not very accessible....unless you have four wheel drive and take Warn Industries with you! Too bad its not deer season....saw about 12 deer and a huge herd of Elk. If you do decide to go and dont want to camp, try FHL Billeting...awesome rooms at great prices! Good Luck!!

I have been to FHL a couple times this year and a couple the year before. It is worth going if not bagging a pig or even seeing a pig is OK. It is a possibility and usually a few people or more bag pigs each weekend.

It is a really beautiful place to hunt and the pigs are very educated and somewhat nocturnal.

The Hacienda is a great place to have lunch and dinner and overall it is a fun trip.

I live in San Diego and it is a long long trip. I have had fun each time I have gone, unless of course I start thinking about only seeing pigs once in over 5 visits.

Good luck
Bill

Hello All.

I'm writing for the first time here, although I've been checking out this site for the longest time now. I can't tell you how impressed I am with JHP.

Anyway, a buddy of mine and I rolled up to FHL the weekend of 5/3 in the hellish rain. There were only a couple of diehards who were at the camp and it seemed that eveyone was hunting area 10/13. When we arrived at the area someone had already shot a nice 200lb., or so, porker just off the road. It got us all excited.

Unfortunately we didn't see any "live" pigs BUT it seemed that everyone else had seen them and at 7:30am on Sunday, when we left, of the 6 groups of hunters there, 3 pigs were shot. I have no idea if any others were killed after that, but it seemed likely.

I've been up to FHL quite a bit and have never heard of such luck. Sadly we left FHL pigless but the potential for success was there and that's how it is at FHL; Either your lucky or you're not...persistence, patience and luck are key.
