California Hog and Ram Hunts

[carpsniperg2]

My uncle and grandparents have places in palm springs. I have played the la quinta course!!! Small world sometimes.

I think it was the Palmer course that had the rams came down out of the mountains. My friend took me down to see his grandparents who live on TPC Stadium. It is a small world!

So hogs and sheep are now $950 each and the combo hunt is $1500?   Thats a heck of a jump from the $1175 that the combo used to be.

200.00+ on the hogs is not to bad. He is still under what most of the outfitters are running right now.

this sounds like a fun time, i'll have to show my buddies and see if we can make something happen in the future. i've been to texas and seen some corsican ram hunts go for around $1200...and that's basically one day and just for the animal... so if you toss in the lodging factor the prices aren't too bad. I have also seen cheaper but the rams were only around 4 years old and were not to their potential they should be. any certain reason for the price increase? just curious and i respect if you choose not to say.

[carpsniperg2]

Just really the demand and what the current prices are for these hunts. He has been cheap for a long time and now he is getting up to where he should be with current prices from other outfitters.

You can see many different types of rams on the hunt. Black,dall,corcian,painted,4 horn,sand and a few others at times.

Even at 240.00 more his hunt is still one of the best you can find out there. I would not be selling them and sending my clients down there if it wasn't a great hunt. I know what he is making each year and its not been what he should be for the amount of time he spends hunting and guiding. This will help him in the long run and he will still stay busy. He has many return customers every year just like myself, I hunt every year down there and will be heading back down in april again.

understandable and good to hear he's staying busy. sounds like he's got a good operation going on down there, the variety of rams available is really appealing. also northern california is much closer than texas haha. i'm glad i found this, i'll see if i can get any interests in going with my buddies.

and those hunts may be cheaper too, until you experience both it's hard to tell if one is better than the other. i would hope for paying more you're guaranteed a better animal to harvest. i know in texas some pig/hog hunts were only $125...but you only got about a 100-125lb animal. where i'd rather pay more for something larger and more worth while. especially if you're traveling for it. how you're treated while being on someone's property and stay for the hunt is also a huge factor. friendliness and hospitality go a long way.

That great send me there info I am always looking for hunts. I know about 3 that are cheaper but most people don't like the quality of pink pigs and the size of the hunting area.

I would love to know if they are hunting russians and the size of there hunting areas. So feel free to send me the info so I can see for myself and not have to take anyones word.

I know that all the ones that do the trade shows with me are 750-1200.

That is indeed the case. Cheaper is not always better for sure. It's about quality I can send anyone who wants to go shoot a pink pig a ranch down there that sells them for 450.00. I know one person on here that went down there and couldn't even shoot one because they were pets. For the quality of operations and other outfitters that I myself have hunted with and not just seen there booth at a trade show I know my outfitter is right with or cheaper then other outfitters offering the kind of hunt that he has.

[carpsniperg2]

You mean the ISE show? Sure have. I hope you showed your military card you should have got in for free

My buddy lives in Sacramento His home show and he was there was well. I do trade shows as part of my living and know the current markets, I am sure way better then most

A ranch that is already limiting you on what kind of pigs you can shoot at certain prices already throws up a flag for me. Spend your money and let me know what kind of hunt it was. Doesn't sound like a hunt I would send my clients on.

SO anyways back to my ad

Carpsniperg2 your inbox is full-tried to PM you.

In order to hunt a ram does one only need to purchase a nonresident hunting license? Not seeing any tags that really fit the bill on the CA DFG's website. Not too interested in a hog however I'm quite sure my interest would be peaked upon seeing them!

[carpsniperg2]

No need for the tags for the ram's we supply them. Some of are hog hunts you need tags and others we provide tags for you.

[Quicksilver]

so is a hunting license even required for the rams then? also since they're on private land does that change things? i know in texas if it's a private enclosed ranch they can basically have their own rules...i know that's a different state but i'm just curious.

[carpsniperg2]

No the rams do not have licenses. They have a landowner tag and since it is private they set there own guidelines. They still have to follow some cali rules like no hunting at night and etc.
