Wow, how to lead this one off?
Back when I lived in coastal NC, one of the things I loved to do was go flounder gigging. In short, this is where you put a couple of submersible lights off the front of a small boat, then pole the shallows on a dark night, looking for the outline [...]

Hog Blog Makes The News!
Many, many thanks to Holly, the NorCal Cazadora, I got to see my name and even my purty mug (part of it anyway) in the her article from the Sacramento Bee today. I blogged in March about this trip with Holly to go check out some landscape-destroying hogs up in the Sierra foothills. Well, that trip [...]

Handguns for Hog Hunting?
One of the questions I get fairly regularly is, “what kind of handgun should I get for hogs?”
I’ve touched on this a time or two before, but I don’t think I’ve actually dedicated an entire post to answering this question. I’m not a handgunning expert, and honestly, I’m not all that great with a pistol. [...]

Border Bandit Offers Texas Hog Hunting Deal
Got a call yesterday from my friend Shane, owner/operator/chief bottle washer at Border Bandit Hunting Services. After rehashing our recent hunt, he mentioned he had a new hog hunting property coming available and wondered if I’d pass it along on the Hog Blog. Well, I’m always happy to help out a friend, especially one who takes [...]

Putting on my Expert Hat… or somesuch
Heading out in about an hour to meet up with Holly, the NorCal Cazadora. We’re going to take a look at some private property where the hogs have been making a nuisance of themselves (as they’re wont to do), and maybe help the landowner out by taking a couple of pests home for dinner. .. or [...]

Tejon Part Deux – Let There Be Pork Chops!
What a difference a week makes!
After the previous weekend’s tough hunting at Tejon Ranch, with nine hunters coming away with only three hogs, I was a little concerned going into the past weekend’s hunt. However, on this last hunt, there were a number of different factors involved.
First, the weather turned cold and wet. The beautiful, [...]

The Hog Blog is Dragging
I know, I’m stating the obvious. A few posts a week is hardly the pace I’d like to maintain, but it just seems to be the status quo here lately. No excuses… but I do hope a couple of weekends of hunting will get me back on track.
In the meantime, here’s the best hog of [...]

Back From Tejon… For Now
Wow.
I was told a very long time ago that there is no “sure thing”. And I get it.
Even so, when I head out to Tejon, I have a pretty high level of confidence that I can not only kill a hog myself, I can take several other hunters to hogs as well. My track record [...]

Going Hunting… Finally!
Man! Has it been that long? It seems like forever since I’ve been hog hunting, and this trip couldn’t come at a better time.
I’m heading out tomorrow afternoon, driving south to the Tejon Ranch. I’ll be joining several friends, including Fabio (I’ve guided Fabio over at the Native Hunt ranches a time or two), and [...]

De Hog Shootinest Gent’man Strikes Again, Lead Ban Chronicles, and More…
From the While I Was Out files… stuff that slipped through the cracks while I was here at the 2010 SHOT Show.
First of all, got this great photo in an email from my friend Matt, who some of you may recognize as De Hog Shootinest Gent’man. I don’t think Matt ever stops hunting or killing [...]

First Hog Blog Hog Hunting Video of 2010
OK, so I won’t be winning any Golden Moose awards for this one, but who really cares? I managed to bring the video camera along on my short-lived hog hunt at the Golden Ram’s Hedgepeth Ranch on New Year’s weekend. As you’ll see, the weekend didn’t pan out quite like I’d hoped it [...]

Baiting Hogs in CA
I got an email recently from a newer hog hunter, and he asked a question that I’ve heard a few times now. I thought I’d share his letter, along with my thoughts.
Here goes:
I’m a new hunter (at 40 yrs old!) and have had the opportunity to hunt pigs on a friend’s land a few times [...]

Buddy’s GA Success
Colter, a familiar face here at The Outdoor Smorgasbord, had some success over the Thanksgiving holiday. He spent a full week at his family’s lease properties in Georgia chasing deer (and incidentally pigs) during the rut.
This big nanny fell on the next to last day of a hard week of hunting. Some good bucks were [...]

A New Old Hog Hunting Opportunity for CA Bowhunters
In this season of giving thanks, here’s something many of us CA bowhunters can be thankful for… Chopper Snyder is re-opening his Wild Hog Adventures for bowhunters.
Chopper’s place is set in the hills just below Hollister, and for several years he ran semi-guided archery hunts. I was fortunate enough to hunt there several times over [...]

While I was out walking my bow in Sonoma…
… some of my friends were actually killing hogs.
At least that’s the case as evidenced by this email I got from my friend, Scott. He and our buddy Chris went down to Camp Roberts for the weekend, and it sounds like they had a great time! Here’s Scott’s short, but exciting email:
It was a good trip, [...]

Another Monday Morning and I Ain’t Got No Piggy
Boy, that’s probably the dumbest topic title I’ve done in a while. Oh well, it rang in my mind and now I’ve shared it…
Anyway, true to form, after walking several miles and several thousand feet of elevation gain and loss, I’m sitting here getting ready for another work week. The ice chest won’t need to [...]
