Can anybody recommend a good guide service or outfit in California for hog hunting?
A buddy and I went last September and paid a $400 deposit each for a fully guided hunt and couldn't of had a worse experience. Our guide was maybe 21 years old at the most and was more interested in texting his girlfriend than he was guiding. He was late to the cabin the first day so we had to wait outside for over an hour for him to show up. He cut our morning hunt short because he had to go help move a 5th wheel trailer. He wouldn't stalk with us. He would drive us up to a spot and say something like, "We've killed a lot of pigs in this area." Then he would tell us to go walk through the area or over the hill and he would pick us up on the other side. Needless to say we never saw or got to shoot any pigs...Although the guide would glass a hillside and see pigs, but when we would look through our scopes or move to that area there would be absolutelty nothing.
I want to give it antoher try but I don't want to get burned again. So, if any of you know or have had a really good experience I would really appreciate any information you could pass along.
Thank you all.
