We chose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oakstoneoutfitters.com\/california-blacktail-deer-hunting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oak Stone Outfitters<\/a> to try for some California Wild Pigs. I had seen many great pictures from them on their Instagram account. We set up a two-day hunt and met them at the house near Bradley midday on a Tuesday.  We followed guide Cory to a ranch house where Jeff and I would be staying. We went out the first night to glass for pigs. We weren&#8217;t seeing much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We experienced a beautiful sunset over the uniquely Californian rolling golden hills. A bald eagle soared by us. After last light, we started to see pigs and spotted a pretty large group heading for some barley fields. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5jnkNs9PK7Q\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan was to return before first light and try and catch them on their way back. That&#8217;s pretty much what happened with Jeff first shooting a medium-sized boar. While following up his pig which ended up on a hillside opposite the one we were on, a nice sized sow ran by us. I was ready as she climbed the far hillside and shot just near the top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luckily for us both the pigs expired pretty close to a dirt road. My sow was a very short drag to the truck and Jeff&#8217;s was a little longer all downhill. Sometimes it all just works out right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jeff and I had a great time, he cooked some great meals, salmon filets, and then some incredible rack of lamb. We had a wonderful ranch house all to ourselves for a great two days.  We saw many deer, heard a lot of coyotes, even saw a bobcat up on a cattle trough. We&#8217;ll definitely be back and are thinking of planning a larger group to spend some time at this wonderful property. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"http:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0290-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0290-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0290-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0290-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0290-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/mseanbrowne.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/IMG_0290-2048x1536.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My friend Jeff Ashlock and I finally set aside the time to go hunting again.
