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….
