Today I guided Clint Copeland from Lodi, California on a pig hunt. Minutes into the hunt we spotted 2 boars in the flats and the race was on. We closed the distance to 150 yards and just as Clint got ready to shoot the pigs disappeared into the brush. We walked back to the ranger and took off in hot pursuit down the valley hoping to spot the boars again. We had gone several miles and had not spotted them again so we just kept on going. As we crested a hill I looked in an opening between 2 brush patches and spotted a lone boar feeding, so off we went. We snuck to within 100 yards of our un-suspecting target and Clint got on the sticks and ready to shoot. At the sound of the shot the boar dropped dead in it's tracks and the rest is history. The boar weighed around 175 pounds and Clint was very happy with it as it was his first pig ever. It was a great morning in the hills and in total we saw around 20-25 pigs. Another successful hunt and another client that now has the "pig fever", a sickness that most of us pig hunters have!!!
