Has anyone hunted Cedar Canyon?

[Common Sense]

Don't know enough about this subject to give an educated comment. But I do know that Cedar Canyon has advertisments on this forum, and I thank them for that. If I didn't care for their type of hunting, I wouldn't mention it on this forum cause that would be using their money to trash them.

Again...............many opinions.................but the diversity of opportunities to take an animal(hog, sheep, goats, deer, elk, bear, bison, coyote, other varmints, birds, fowl etc. etc.) is what sustains widespread interest in hunting. As always.........different folks different strokes. If we had only wild land hunting to offer and no private ranches, no low fence, no high fence, no farm bred game stock, no pen raised pheasant, no pen raised quail, no stationary bison that can be approached to 50 yds. and literally so close you could put a bullet in the eyeball, no baited bears, no baited deer, no baited hogs etc. etc............then our hunting ranks will be thinner and our strength in this democratic society relies on strength of numbers. We would be the poorer and weaker if we did not have these "hunting alternatives". Lots of people would not be in hunting if we did not offer pen raised pheasants, pen raised quail, baited bear, baited deer, baited hogs etc. etc. I myself would not be in hunting if it were not for "shooting fish in the barrel".........literally.

I certainly did not mean to put down Cedar Canyon's operation with my posts. That was not my intention. I have hunted the ranch twice and both times found the hunt challenging. Like I said, not as easy as one might think.

As far as the ear tags, these hogs (pure bred Russians) are raised in Canada. To cross our border not only do they have to have ear tags but are also vaccinated to prevent any diseases from entering our country. Perhaps the tags could be removed once they get to the ranch but quite frankly it did not bother me when I came to full draw.

I have killed plenty of free roaming feral hogs in the Paso Robles area. I was fortunate in that I had access to many private ranches but not everyone does. For someone considering getting into the sport a ranch like Cedar Canyon gives them that opportunity without a license or tag. Does that mean that everyone harvests a hog? Not hardly, but that is not what we are out there for. It is the thrill of the chase that keeps us coming back...

I have no problem hunting high fence. I guess what I mean it just seems a little wierd for me personal to shoot a hog that was imported with tags on the ear. If it means they have to go through some type of quarantine and the tags are purely labels then ok. Maybe they should remove them first before they are released.
