First pig I killed was on Hunter Liggett, after many efforts and trips!

Killed two in Coalinga on public land, after damn near a whole year of going almost everyweekend I could. But when I did get them it was very gratifying, worked my tail off for that pork, no doubt about it.

I got my first hog at Camp Roberts. It took me three trips to get it and felt great.

The only private land I hunt is my dad's ranch, and since there are no pigs there, I've only taken them on public land. Opps, I did shoot one on private land, but I was a guest and didn't have to pay.

13 pigs on public land, 1 on private. The only reason I did the private land hunt was to hunt with buddies of mine that already had reservations.

Two on public land, 4 on private land unguided, 8 on private with a guide. I'm too lazy to chase 'em on public land anymore.

I've caught several with my dogs in the brush-covered public property up here in Northern California. It's not nearly as enjoyable of an experience as hunting on private property, but it is possible.

All on private, too many miles logged on public for me to do it again, unless it's FHL or CR.

Same thing here, too many man hours-miles-dollars-blood-sweat & tears chasing that elusive "public land hog" without even seeing a pig. Finally connected with private hunts(one pay-to-hunt & some for free). Still doing public land hunt just for the sake of letting loose the shackles of city life & maybe, just maybe bust an elusive wild boar on public land in the

process. One of these days, luck will greet me. I will not miss!!!

Never had the chance to harvest a pig from public land only private. I would be there in a heartbeat to hunt or help on public land if it was nearby and I knew there were pigs there. I hunted chuckar for years before I ever knew what one looked like. That's no lie but I'm no longer that young and don't have as much spare time to spend hunting snipe or ghost boar. Anybody know of any good spots they would like to take me to I would be willing.

I have hunted public land too many times to count with little/no success. I have seen hogs on public land three times with no shoot (too long or cover). I don't think I am alone in the feeling of not wanting to pay to hunt. I am guessing I am not a business man because I have property out of state that is good deer, bear, and hopefully elk property and I would never dream of charging someone to hunt it. I ask you guys does this make me weird or just bad business sense? I am thinking there is someone else out there that thinks the way I do?????????

I have had some kills on private properties that were friends, but those are few and far between. I am kind of thinking of trying Tejon one day just because it looks as though you guys have a great time and it's a nice piece of land.
