ex hog hunter

Bishop/Rick,

Dont know how much either one of your know about Parkfield and the William Brothers.

First off, I knew Parkfield before anyone knew Parkfield, hunted there from the mid 60s to 80s. Long before hunting clubs, and paid outfitters or guides to hunt there. So, execuse me I do know a thing or ttwo about Parkfield. I knew Parkfield way back when, you could drive down the road and you though you were in a pif farm that is how many pigs there was back then. Most Ranchers use to trap the hogs there seprate the big Russian boars look a like and then charge outage amount for trophy hunts to Lawers, doctors and such.

So, it no wonder that they did not like or want anyone else hunting there. Even the Gov land was land lock so we the people could not have access to hunting there. Yes, there is many stories I could share with all of you but, there is not enough space, I would have to write a book in order to be able to tell the entire story.

One of the reason the William Brother neighbors do not like them is because they are outsiders, if you didnt grow up there and were rasied there you were an outsider. To this day, this is still the case deep down but, getting any one to admit it. well that isnt going to happen. I know of the Williams brothers, know then very well, though its been some years since I have seen or talked to them. I remember when they bought the ranch, I use to go on weekend and help them along with a few other friends. I have stayed at their cabins, rode horses there, and yes even hunted there. I had a lot of good times there, which were a lot of fun and I am sure you will too.

The price they charge is cheap for hog hunting icompare to or place to in Parkfield. Dont believe everything the neighors tell you, after all these years I am not surprise they are still saying the same thing about them. They were not the only friends I had in Parkfield that were not born and rasied there, and they said the same thing about them.

I would recommend you call them, talk to them, go and experience it for yourself, and don't worry about what the neighbors say!

By the way, I have killed some big huge trophy Russian boars in Parkfield.

Happy Hunting.

My brother and I hunted with the Williams brothers last summer.
They offer un-guided hunts. ###They don't take you by the hand and wisper in your ear. ###What they did is take us in a jeep to locations that the pigs normally travel and then left. ###Later they would come back and check on us. ###
They had dogs with them, however we declined to use them. ###
Saturday I missed a pig that visited a waterhole after I left. ###Sunday morning I went back to the waterhole and waited until I got my pig. ###My brother was at another waterhole and left befor the pigs showed.

Whild we were at the waterholes Sunday morning, Phil and his helper took the dogs to another part of the ranch and shot a sow they GAVE to my brother. ###They also skinned and quartered our pigs for free.

We're going back in October.

Also, we were shown the property lines and asked not to cross them. ###

Dude this post was from 11 years ago, little late

I Hunted with these guys in November 2011. Saw over forty pigs. Shot a nice young boar, still $300.00 Including use of cabins. The hunt is self guided and we were shown the property lines and also asked not to cross them. Williamson Bros Ranch1.jpg

I have hunted the williamson brothers property and didn't see any pigs or fresh sign. I wasn't real pleased with the service and it seems like that has been the story for guided hunts in California. I did recently find a new guide that I was really pleased with and was able to get my first pig with a bow. It was sad at first because I missed my first two shots which were only 30 yards. The third shot was a money 15 yarder though. All around a great experience and the price was more than reasonable. I would recommend First Choice Outfitters to anyone and they have a web page at www.1stchoiceoutfitters.com

Happy hunting

My experience of guides that use dogs is that they are generally shady characters that have been in trouble with fish and game or the local law, this is really consistent across the board.

I think this is a totally ridiculus statement. I've hunted with dogs for 30 years and know alot of other dog hunters that have never broken the law and not had any problems with F&G. Mike

Used Guide recommended by hoghunter401

Went out last weekend with Jim Smith of FirstChoiceoutfitters as recommended by Hoghunter401. Guide seems very knowlegable and has great property to hunt. We saw fresh sign everywhere, but had some trouble with the wind on the first day, and on the second day we sat on a bed that we thought had pigs in them, but they never came out. It was a bit frustrating not getting a single shot after 18 hours in the field. . . but that's why they call it "hunting".

Good news is that Jim said he will provide another hunt soon (at only $75.00) so I can get my pigs. I'll keep you posted.

My first boar hunting experience was on williamsons rang. Owner was real nice. He told us all the rules, boundries, etc. we shot pigs the first 6hours there, this was in mid march last year. We didn't see anything the rest of the time be size it was raining hard and snowed a little. Owner and his helper was nice. No complaints here and will go again this year hopefully.
