Title: Hillside Ranch, again
Post by: Bjorn on December 28, 2010, 08:42:00 PM
Right after Christmas Adam and I got to spend 2 days at our fav Hog area. Located about 3 hours North of San Francisco this is one of the most beautiful ranches anywhere.
Classic views

The blood trail could have been followed by Ray Charles
Most often Adam has drawn blood

This time it was my turn.
If you are fortunate enough to book a hunt here; do it!

Nice hog Bjorn,

I am finally able to pull Tricia's bow back.  Should be pulling mine in a couple weeks.  

Loved the video you sent a couple of buddies of mine will be watching it in the next week or two.

Well Done! Thanks for sharing. Are the hogs out there different than what we see out East? It seems most I see taken in the Southeast look to be Feral Hogs. Yours looks more like some kind of Russian Boar or something. I'm not very knowledgeable about pigs, but I'll never forget that Prehistoric looking monster Caleb got a couple years back out in California.

Unfortunately there is no web site-but a very high quality video will be appearing soon.
Ansel Adams photographed the ranch in the 50's and 70's, it was a working cattle ranch, and was featured in Architectural Digest in the 50's.
Hog hunting is one hunter per week from Oct to early April, and Robert Larson is taking bookings now for next fall and winter, you can expect to see hogs all the time.

Hey Bjorn and Adam,

Congrats with the nice hog.
I'd like to come over some day again and join for a hunt.
