Looks like we're gonna try for pigs

[mrgadget]

Hi folks,
My buddy and I (long time upland and waterfowl hunters) are going to finally try for some porkers out at FHL (we're both (4-legged) pig virgins). We've got the guns ready to rock, all the gear (note name), and chose FHL based on a few factors. Not the least of which is that it's unguided, cheap, we can camp, and it's way the he77 out of town!

We could use a couple of tips if you wouldn't mind sharing. I printed the "voucher request form" and will get that mailed, am ready to deal with "those" people but will get thru it, and we're really looking forward to a good time regardless of hunting success. Jesse, thanks for the great site!

Any big "dos and don'ts" for FHL? Hunting pigs in general? I've been reading the pages here for about a month now (congrats to all of you at the POR; it's what got me fired up to go in the first place!) so I've learned a few things thru osmosis.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks, but I've never been there so I'm trying to figure out where you mean by looking at the map Jesse provided on the FHL tab...looks like there are lots of lakes. River?


Thanks,
Mike

I was there on the 22nd of February.....best sign was in the shotgun/archery areas (I think it was 29).

Good luck, and when are you going?

Just as soon as we can get our schedules together...probably in the next couple of weeks. Head out Friday, home on Sunday.

Looks like we have the green light for this weekend! Any recommendations re: camping? We have a small 1955 Aljoa trailer. Should we stay at the Hunter Liggett campground or is there one fairly close that's a lot better?

Thanks again for all your help,
Mike
