Hunting Wild Boar in California to Manage the Population

As the wild boar population has gotten out of control, hunting has become a valuable tool to control the massive increase. In addition to helping the local farmers and ranchers with revenue to offset the crop damage that takes place, the individual states reap revenue from the licenses to help local hunters. A Hunter's Quest will be in pursuit of some big trophy boars and will share the reality that hunting is a valuable tool of game management and conservation.
The future of wild animals across the globe is dependent on our ability to sustain their constantly shrinking habitat. So the question remains. How does this help sustain and preserve the wildlands? It’s very simple, the local communities depend on the revenue generated from sportsmen. They also greatly benefit from the meat harvested during the safaris that take place on their land. Because of this, the game is protected and the habitat preserved.
In this video, we highlight how sustainable hunting makes a positive impact on the game, the wild lands, and local communities. Amazing people, unforgettable views, and an epic journey lie ahead.
In the heart of a hunter lies compassion, courage, and honor.

Awesome hunts, impressive pigs. Crazy how big they get in that central California area!

[@AHuntersQuest]

Thank you brandan. Glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate the comments on the channel. There are some absolute monsters in central California and i have been fortunate to take quite a few. Looking forward to sharing more great boar hunts in the future. There are a couple of others Already on the channel . The hunt for Hogzilla is one of the biggest we have gotten on film.👍

[@Callmebutters]

Great content and absolutely incredible trophy room. Going on my own hog hunt next month. Hopefully I can take some beasts like yours.

[@christopherscotti4054]

I love how they never tell you exactly where there hunting no one wants to give up there spots

[@AHuntersQuest]

i am happy to share. most of the hunts were in the twisellman ranch which is a private ranch over 60k acres in size in central california. highly recommend them for a guided wild boar hunt.

[@GrimTactics6226]

If you don’t mind me asking how much do you get a hog? Does it vary on size and weight and is there a limit you’ll get paid for?

[@AHuntersQuest]

the hunt price depends on the outfitter you hunt with and the size or weight does not impact the price. if you find the right place it’s a great experience

[@GrimTactics6226]

@@AHuntersQuest right on thank you for you time 🙏

[@1Mannco]

From $800 to $1800

[@coldslugger8219]

I’m from Ca where exactly is this?

[@AHuntersQuest]

all the boar hunts were done close to paso robles ca. which is in central california. some exceptional wild boar hunts in that area. we also have some additional wild boar hunts for you to check out.

[@seanjohnson6899]

Not sure when this was filmed. But the barley fields are booming right now with all the record rain we have gotten as I am sure you know and my hunt that I shared with you. I can only imagine the pistachio orchards will be good too. I might have to go back in the early fall time!

[@AHuntersQuest]

These hunts were from last summer and doing some hunts soon for sure

Would love to get into this I’m in el dorado hills area. Where can we hunt wild pigs in Northern California ?

[@AHuntersQuest]

i have done my hunting for hogs more in central california, however there are a lot of opportunities in northern cal. we have several exciting hog hunt videos on the channel. hope you enjoyed and good luck on your hunt!!

[@donchilders1087]

That is one big pig and feeding on barley. they do a lot of damage on crops and there should be no season or limit's.if they were to bring back the California grizzly and they were huge that would help it seems that they want grizzly bears everywhere but California i don't know why they don't use the indangerd species act for the California grizzly.thank you for the video that is a Big one.👍

[@AHuntersQuest]

Indeed don. The are very active in the crops and with the revenue from hunting the ranchers and farmers are able to make some money. Hunting helping solve a problem.

[@henryian]

This must be private land, did yo have to get permission form the land owner to hunt there? thanks,

[@AHuntersQuest]

yes it was on private land on a massive ranch in central california. hope you enjoyed the video and we will have more boar related content on the channel soon.

[@henryian]

@@AHuntersQuest Thanks for your response. Did you have to ask permission or they actually provided you with guide as well for a fee? I hope you dont mind me asking.,

[@shoot2kill445]

Is this private or public land and where is it at exactly in California?

[@AHuntersQuest]

all the hunts were on private land but very big ranches. most of the boars were in the twiselman ranch in central california which is over 50,000 acres

[@shoot2kill445]

@AHuntersQuest Oh okay. Are you also from CA?

[@AHuntersQuest]

@@shoot2kill445 i am indeed, in ventura county

[@gary_omg1437]

i wonder how will the trophy be processed? take the leather to make something?

[@AHuntersQuest]

Good question. The meat is given to the local communities and the skin and head are made into a mount. Nothing is wasted

Good pig. But there’s way bigger then them out there. Personally hunted pigs for a living for 33 yrs. With dogs and rifels. Got some over 250kg all mine went for export meat over seas. Big numbers here in Australia only getting worse too

[@AHuntersQuest]

I have had the pleasure of hunting in Australia and have taken some great boars when is was hunting my water buffalo. Check out the hunt for Hogzilla on the channel where we were able to film one of the biggest boars i have taken. Definitely some big ones around in California but hard to find. Hope you enjoy the videos and appreciate the support.
