Thanks, Mark... been on a non-stop run between the ranch and my real job.
Make the check for $450. When the time gets close, if it looks like we'll be shy of 25, you will have the option of bailing out or pitching in the extra $100. We usually make it just fine, but it's always good to be prepared.
I can accomodate up to 50 hunters on this trip. It is NOT limited to JHO members, so yes, your friends and family are welcome. However, no non-hunting guests are permitted. That's a Tejon rule, not mine.
You may hunt with rifle, shotgun (slugs), handgun, or archery. No dogs are allowed. Over the past several years, members of our group have taken hogs with handguns, rifles, and bows. I don't believe we've had a muzzleloader or shotgun kill to date, but it's entirely do-able.
