What section of California do you hunt? I used to hunt the Los Padres National Forrest near Fort Hunter Liggett and I occasionally saw pigs on FHL. I also hunted pigs near San Luis Reservoir in Upper Cottonwood WMA. That was my main pig hunting area. I have seen quite a few pigs there, but you better have your hiking shoes on. The place I hunted was 4.5 miles from the truck.

Here is some data from when I lived there:

Lake Sonoma WA offers drawings for wild pig hunts every year. Call the DFG in Yountville (707-944-5500) for more information.

Fort Hunter Liggett is a good spot to hunt hogs. It's a permit only hunt on military land. Call (831-386-2214).

Coalinga offers some good hunting areas on BLM land off of Coalinga Road. Contact the BLM field office in Hollister at (559-855-3492) for more information concerning specific areas and maps.

Healdsberg, Booneville, King City, & Hollister all are excellent areas for wild pig hunting, unfortunately most of this property is privately owned and leased by private hunting clubs. Check with BLM to see if there are some public properties in these areas.

Cottonwood Creek WA has 4,000 acres of steep coastal terrain. Call (209-826-0463) for more information.
