Questions
Pig Hunts in Monterey County: FAQs
How much does a guided pig hunt in Monterey County cost?
A guided meat pig hunt is $800 and a trophy boar hunt is $1,200. You can add a second meat pig for $650, and non-hunting guests are welcome for $250. A $200 non-refundable deposit secures your date. Drinks and refreshments are included; meals are available for an additional charge.
When is pig hunting season in Monterey County?
California has no closed season on wild pigs, so we run guided pig hunts in Monterey County year-round. Call us and our guides will recommend the best dates for the kind of hunt you want.
What license do I need to hunt wild pigs in California?
Every hunter needs a valid California hunting license plus a wild pig validation, which replaced the old pig tags in 2022. Both are sold through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife. Please check current CDFW regulations before your hunt.
What rifle and ammunition should I bring?
Bring a scoped rifle chambered in .270 or larger. California law requires nonlead ammunition for all hunting, so copper bullets only — no lead.
What is the difference between a meat pig and a trophy pig?
Meat pigs are generally younger, smaller hogs prized for the table. Trophy pigs are mature boars with bigger bodies and larger tusks. Tell us what you are after when you book and we will plan the hunt around it.
What happens if I wound a pig?
A wounded animal is considered a harvest. Our guides help you set up for a clean, ethical shot and work hard to recover every animal.
What happens to the pig after the hunt?
Animals are field dressed on-site and can be transported to your chosen butcher or taxidermist. Bring a cooler for the meat.
Can I stay at the ranch during my pig hunt?
Yes. Our 1,800 sq ft ranch home has three bedrooms, a full kitchen, a bathroom, a living room and high-speed WiFi. See lodging or call to check availability.
