Upper Cotton Wood Creek

Hi everyone.

Anybody hunted here for pigs lately ?

A friend of mine saw hogs in the north west corner mid August. Last I have heard.

Thanks, just looking for some areas for day trips that are within 2 hrs of the east bay.

lots of pigs!!!! a friend of mine shot a 350 lb boar with 3 and a half inch tusks a few weeks ago said he saw like 40 pigs

A couple of things you should know: Yes, there are pigs there but they are transient. They move in and out of Cottonwood throughout the year. If you are fortunate enough to kill a pig then you have to figure on how to get it out. It is a long way back to the car. Not to be too negative but I saw two guys dragging a large boar for a mile or so. I thought they were going to have a heart attack. Take a game cart and save your back.

Is upper cottonwood shotgun only or can you use rifles?

Rifle is fine for Upper Cottonwood, but I don't recall what parts of the year it is open for pig hunting -- it is not open year around if memory serves me correct. Check it out.

Oh well after all that I found out it closes when A zone deer season closes. Anybody have any public land suggestions now that winter is comming.

 

[huntingbret]

If I remember correctly, I thought the upper cotton wood area closes in January.
