Wild Boar Hunt
Fourth of July pig hunt on the JR Smith Ranch, King City, CA with Jesse Smith, Jr. as our Guide: Via word of mouth we (my uncle and I) were given names of two professional licensed guides, the first one we called was busy but highly recommended Jesse Smith and Jesse happened to be the second name on our list. Arrived at the Smith Ranch early evening of July 3rd in our RV and set up camp, at Jesse’s suggestion we sighted in our rifles at about 100 yards and shot a few squirrels with our .22’s. Nice bathroom and B.B.Q. facilities were available. Went to sleep listening to the coyotes howling in the distance. Very early next morning after coffee the three of us set out, after about three hours of serious hiking visiting several good but now vacant sites we carefully approached what Jesse calls the “Magic Spring” a small muddy watering hole and occasional pig hangout. We spotted 4 hogs at about 100+ yards, a big tusker, two good sized boars and a smaller pig. The big tusker was very nervous, moving around at lot, I was waiting for him to settle down when my uncle shot one of the other big boars, the tusker was gone in a flash. Later in the day I bagged a pretty good sized boar but not the big tusker I was hoping for. Very tired but very upbeat we went back to camp where Jesse skinned, cleaned and help us cut up, wrap and ice the meat. Just before leaving Jess Sr. a former CHP Commander came out with a bottle of Jack Daniels and we toasted the successful hunt. A very nice hunt indeed, we will be back next year. Took many pictures, got home and found nothing, the camera memory card was defective….

Alberta Hunting Information
Alberta is a large, diverse province with rolling prairies, farmland, river bottoms, Boreal forests, and large expanses of the northern Rocky Mountains. Many species of big game, waterfowl, upland game and predators inhabit Alberta. Long known for monster whitetails, Alberta also is home to big mule deer, pronghorn antelope, elk, black bear, cougar, Canada moose, and bighorn sheep. In fact, 7 of the 10 largest bighorn sheep in Boone and Crockett record book are from Alberta. In addition to big game, Alberta offers some top notch bird hunting. Serious waterfowlers know about the large flocks of ducks and geese that call Alberta home or migrate through.
Ohio Hunting Information
Ohio is best known for its trophy whitetail deer. In fact, the world record non-typical whitetail was harvested in Greene county by Mike Beatty in November 2001,
British Columbia Hunting Information
British Columbia is an excellent hunting destination that offers a wide variety of game species. Vast wilderness areas and pristine coastlines provide world class adventure hunting for those seeking that trip of a lifetime. BC is arguably best known for big coastal black bears, Canada moose, grizzly bear, mountain lion, Dall sheep and Stone sheep. Hunters can book a hunt with an outfitter and avoid the license drawing process common in most U.S. states.
