Dee Dee is awesome, I had a chance a few years back at a 275 -300 lb boar and im gonna say the scope was off. but i did have a chance at one had a great time and the cabins are pretty nice. i really need to get back up there.

$200/day x 2 days = $400 + $75/night cabin rental x 2 night = $550 total. Why not a Tejon management hunt where you have 100,000 + acres to roam around and your chance of encountering pig is much higher. Or a fully guided hunt with one of the outfitter that almost guarantee you a shot all for about the same price.
Sure BHR is a nice place but getting into hog is more of a being there at the right time.

DeeDee has a lot of properties available to her and knows the hogs. The country was also ideal for hogs with enough agriculture mixed in to keep them around. I think you'll have a great time.

Just returned fro a 2-day semi-guided hunt. Saw exactly TWO (2) pigs the first evening...both about 1000 yards off, both running down a hill. Whole event took about 2 seconds. Saw lot's of "pig sign" but no pigs. We did as we were told, followed all the advice, and still came up empty handed even seeing targets. My best guess is the pigs don't come out until AFTER dark (at least well after 1/2 hour after sunset), and they return to their beds well before there is enough light to nail them. Would have been handy information to know. The only pig we are aware of dying this week was hit by a car.
Speaking of cars, the first field we hunted was very heavily traveled by locals. (multiple owners accessing their property, right through our hunt...) When I complained, we were shown several other possibilities. The most likely came with the assurance that nobody would be cruising the roads, as there were no resident owners present. After a very stealthy approach to our predetermined sites, we settled in with careful checks of wind direction, and waited. Didn't have to wait too long. Sure enough, here comes a silver pick-up truck, right up the road I had carefully sneaked up about an hour prior. Followed the same route Deedy followed when she was showing us the lay-o-the-land, then departed. Nice. My confidence in having a successful evening hunt was greatly reduced. So much for assurances.
The pigs are there...there is plenty of evidence to prove that. There is also plenty of evidence to prove that they are active only when you cannot hunt. They learn to tell time?
I would not be carping about this if I had actually seen pigs in range and muffed the shot. None of the other four hunters I was with even saw a pig.
Do your research, contact those who have been successful THIS year, then, as always, Caveat Emptor.

i hardley ever post on this site but am a regular at bhr. i hunt there 3times a yr for past 4 yrs and have never came home empty. but then again i know every pig bed, trail and watering hole. but reason i go there is not for the kill but the experience and its not like guides trying to rush you. just happens that i have mastered the art of hog hunting and am pretty good at it. but hogs are there but hard to find. good luck
