The Hog Blog Latest Blog Posts

I’ve been emailing back and forth with an occasional Hog Blog reader, Ian, as he’s begun the journey, fraught with peril, into the depths of the hog hunting addiction. After a few frustrating attempts, he finally made it all come together. He’s agreed to share his tale with ...

OK, so it’s late and it’s been a long week with very little Internet access… But all has not been in vain! We started the hunt a few days early with a call from our guide, Shane, to tell us he’d found a special deal on a couple of oryx “culls”. Both ...

On the road through Sunday… no live updates, so figured this’ll set the proper tone. I hear a lot of folks say that Texans and Californians don’t get along, and the good people of the Lone Star State hate to see Left Coasters moving into their fine piece of the country.  ...

It’s been a while since I was in Texas, and I have to say that state really grows on me. Fortunately, I’m about to head back down for a week and some change. Kat and I are hitting the road tonight, and expect to be in camp by the Frio river with my brother (the bloodthirsty ...

Well, the little adventure this weekend didn’t really pan out… which is just as well, I suppose. I’ve got a freezer full of meat, and a Texas trip coming up at the end of this week. But it looks like I’m not the only one who’s been out in the field lately.  ...

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 ...

A little while back I shared some info from my friend and fellow Local Field Director for the US Sportsman’s Alliance (USSA), Adam McInerny about a relatively new company, Bullets and Brass . The company was offering a series of free reloading courses around the SF Bay Area. Well ...

Sitting around the Press Room at the SHOT Show , you always have the opportunity to talk to several authors, videographers, and other folks who have interesting products. I always come away with a couple of things to review, and this past show was no different. One such product was a DVD ...

I haven’t had a chance to do this in a while, but tonight I spent some time cruising through my news feeds to see what’s happening in the world of wild hogs, boar, and pigs. There’s no way I can bring you all up to speed on all that we’ve missed, but here are a couple ...

First things first… a couple of weeks back, I posted up about a proposal floated around Montana to ban lead ammunition from State Wildlife Areas. As of February 11, the Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks Commission voted against the ban. As was reported in the Billings Gazette , it was ...

So over at Holly’s NorCal Cazadora blog this morning, she’s given us all a chance to get active in making positive change for members of the US military. It starts with a fairly simple idea… let active military hunt any state on a resident tag. Several states allow ...

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 ...

Tales from Tejon will continue shortly. Just waiting on some photos right now. It was a great time, with a bunch of great guys… but details will have to wait. In the meantime… Just got this from the Peregrine Fund in my email this morning. Let me ask you to read it ...
