Looking for a Guide...

[Hunter85]

Hi All, I am looking for a guided hog hunt in central CA, but don't know who to go with. I found the list of guides on the hog page here, but don't know really where to start on the list...

I am looking for a spot & stock or ambush hunt. Nothing agaist dogs, just not for me.

I would like to pay +/- 600 dollars for the hunt.

I don't want a trophy, just a hog. (150 lbs would be awesome!)

I know it is hunting, but I since I am spending that much, I would like to hunt with a guide that knows their stuff and can put me on a hog.

Can any of you point me in the right direction? Any of you have personal expericence with guides? Reccommend any? Thanks!!!

Don't forget Frank with Mustang Guide Service. He will not only get you on hogs he is one funny guy to hunt with..........

Another vote for Frank (Mustang Guide Service). I have hunted with Tom & Crew and no doubt, he worked VERY hard for our group. I still like Frank and the ranches he hunts. I am searching around for another hunt myself, I'm not sure who I am gonna use this time around. I found another outfitter about 3 hours from my house, vs the 7 hour drive to King City. If distance/fuel wasnt an issue, I would make the drive. I think I just wanna stay a little closer to home this time. Frank is charging $500 these days and that's one of the best prices you are gonna find in the state. DON'T GO WITH A OUTFITTER WHO CHARGES TROPHY FEE'S!!!!! Thats the biggest Crock of S$!#!!! Tom or Frank wont rip you off and they both are fine guides. Have fun and post up with your report.

Again I will highly recommend David Rossi. He owns a 5,000 acre cattle ranch east of San Ardo and has a ton of pigs. $500 for a 2.5 day hunt. If you want a meat pig instead of a trophy, he'll find you one. Archery hunts are $400. A buddy of mine was up there a few weeks ago and said they saw plenty of hogs every day.
