What is the cost  

[bearhunter99]

That would be a fun hunt to get 5 guys together on.  Looks like good success with archery equipment as well.  I'd love to shoot one with my bow.

It should be possible with a bow.  It's a pretty small place, 440 acres

[Shooting Stix]

The pictures of the pigs posted were both shot with a bow

[wannabhntr]

I stuck one with a bow down there in like 05' or 06'. You will have a pleathera of opportunities. I you don't something, it is simply because you decided not to. It's kind of creepy have them run through the sage brush in front of you.

[Shooting Stix]

Another thing about this hunt just like the buffalo, mouflon, and pig is if there is a reason you are unsuccessful which I would doubt you don't pay you can bring a rifle just in case you can't hit one

[asmith]

I sent an email to the address on their Web page to ask a couple questions.  Stull have yet to hear back!

[Shooting Stix]

I just call him and he answers the majority of the time so if you are interested in the pig hunt call the number on the website on February 15th he won't take you earlier I have tried for clients so be ready it's the same as getting your Hancock permit he sells out fast

[follow maggie]

I'd be interstd in mouflon sheep hunt.  Are a state license or tag requird?

[Shooting Stix]

No license or tags it's a private ranch so give me some dates that would work for you and will call the owner

[shadowless_nite]

Very interested in doing this, me and the wife have considered a pig hunt together for a while now. We're hitting disneyland the end of may and I was trying to sneak in a hog hunt for me and my family since we're driving down . Anyways this seems like a reasonable offer considering the distance and cost is effective with fuel at a all time low. Is there anyone with any personal reviews on here? My wife is looking to put her first animal down and my daughter is always up for an adventure. Curious as to non hunters coming as well? (I have a 5yr old who in would like to tag along)

[Shooting Stix]

MLBowhunting can give you some information if you are interested YOU have to CALL tomorrow and it's based on a quota so if you call early enough all of you can get pigs. Remember for some reason you don't get one you don't pay but I'm not seeing that as a problem. Please tell him I sent you I do this for you guys and it's same price I don't make anything just want people out shooting animals. Call Richard at 208-886-7072

Pulled the trigger on this for me and my wife at the end of may. I think it'll be a fun hunt. She has been hunting with a bow for the last 3 seasons and had close calls but no luck. I would really want her to harvest an animal with her bow just to get her confidence back up. I'll be taking my bow. And if all else fails I'll be packing a rifle just for the hell of it. Thanks for the heads up shooting stix! I'll post about the adventure when the time comes.

[Shooting Stix]

TODAY IS THE DAY TO CALL so first come first serve I put the number in the post so good luck and I would love to see all your pictures and stories on your hog adventure.

[bearpaw]

I called, already filled!

[Shooting Stix]

Mlb called at 0545 and it was already booked I was shocked when he told me that. I'm sorry about that guys if you booked let everyone who the lucky ones are so we can look forward to their pig pictures. Well I have pigs in Texas, Florida, and Washington still

[shadowless_nite]

I called him at 4pm yesterday to get the low down. And he told me to call at midnight, that was when he said he would be booking hunts. Then I wasn't sure if I was midnight pacific time or mtn time, so I called back. It was mtn time so 11pm pacific. I started calling right as the clock rolled over. Immediately busy. Kept calling to no avail, quickly downloaded a robo redial in app on my phone and let it go to town till I heard someone answer! Felt like one of those people that win a radio contest. By 11:15, all weekends in april were booked. And the soonest saturday was may 21st which we settled on. Gonna call later today to see if it's not too late to add a person to our hunting party.

[Shooting Stix]

That is great man go get some Savora broadheads and put the smack down on some pigs I am excited for you I should have called to get more info but I had to send messages on other hunts

Good luck, let us know how you like it!

[jkthomps]

Tagging along. Sounds like a ton of fun!

[Shooting Stix]

These are a couple pigs of pigs coming out of Idaho I wished I knew he was taken calls at midnight otherwise I would have let you guys know but hopefully next year I just want to see hunters being successful and meat in the freezer. A lot of hunters hunt their butt off during elk and deer season not counting scouting before the season and not have any meat so I will come up with fun hunts that are more geared for filling the freezer good luck in 2016

[Shooting Stix]

I got a message that the one person was luck enough to book the hunt was successful just waiting on the story and some pictures posted

[shadowless_nite]

Big thanks to Shooting Stix for posting this thread up. Without it I would have never known about this hunt. I've tried a few times to post a longer thread about the whole experience but everytime I don't finish it apparently my session times out and I have to start over. Stay tuned in the other big game section. But in the mean time here's the pictures of my pig.




We tried to get my wife the perfect shot with her bow most of the day and it just wouldn't happen. It got late in the day and we didn't want to come home empty handed. This one stopped on the run a little too long and I put one in its neck with the ar10 and dropped it in its tracks. Long story short.

[Shooting Stix]

That is an awesome European wild boar I am glad someone was lucky enough to get a chance to go and enjoy themselves especially during the off season it's nice to get in camo and get in the woods whether it's a high fenced hunt or doing some predator hunting. I am hoping this time next year huntwa members will be posting a bunch of wild boar pictures from the same ranch

[bearpaw]

Good looking pigs and you didn't have to go far! 

[Shooting Stix]

This is the time for the European boar hunt I will be talking to the owner last year was very disappointing I was hoping to see a lot of hunters on here posting their pictures and stories I will try to keep you guys updated.

[Shooting Stix]

Only 100 wild boar available so it's worse than last year and he will book February 15th at MIDNIGHT good luck

[Shooting Stix]

Did anyone get lucky this year I didn't send out a reminder being Valentine's Day

[garrett89]

Did anyone get lucky this year I didn't send out a reminder being Valentine's Day

Who knows? The thread had a whole month of no response. So, I give 50/50 that someone actually attempted and actually got a booking.

[TrailTreker85]

I totally forgot to check back in yesterday. Hope some one got lucky.

[Brushcrawler]

I blew it and put it on my calendar to call at Midnight on the 15th and not the 14th.

[doyourtime89]

hahaha...I did the exact same thing and remember when I got to work at about 5:25am and called anyway.  He answered and said he was all booked up.

[shadowless_nite]

I got it booked up! Had a reminder on my Google calendar since I paid him for my pig last year. We were the last group there I believe and we'll be the last group this year.

How do these animals eat??  Are they similar to a domestic pig taste or do they carry a separate taste based on the feed in the area?

They don't taste funky or like sage to me.  They do forage but they are also provided feed. Prepared it is leaner than your grocery store pork or even farm raised. I'm not much of a pork snob but it was just as good as any other pork I've had. With the exception of being leaner. Makes for great sausage meat, but not so much a rack of ribs since it's so lean.

 Again I am not a pork snob so pork is pork for the most part to me. I'm Filipino and I was raised eating just about every part of a pig you can use including the blood so I guess you can say my opinion would be a little different.

[Shooting Stix]

You are so lucky you better put in for your permits with that luck I'm looking forward to the pictures maybe bring some extra money for a mouflon

[shadowless_nite]

More like my wife has got all the luck. She was the one to get through the phone lines and pass me the phone. I booked for 6 people memorial day weekend and we're splitting up the hogs, 3 saturday and 3 sunday so everyone can enjoy the hunt and watch each other get the pigs. Might have my kids with me this time to so if my daughter is on her best behavior I'll let her take my hog instead.

Main goal this time is to get my wife her first kill. She didn't have the right opportunity last year with her bow. And this fall will be 5 years without a single animal since she started hunting. So I really want to keep the wind in her sails before she looses motivation. I will make a thread and update as the time comes. Hoping for fair weather and a better drone by then to film.
