Thanks DF. We picked up their tracks on Jolon Rd, it wondered off onto a small trail that led to a reservoir spillway. We spotted two hogs, rooting on the hillside about 150 yds out. We stalked to within 50-75 yds right up to a fallen oak tree that we could use as a bench rest. The rain made it real easy to get close without being heard or winded. Got settled for a shot and harvested some bacon.
We then humped them out in the mud, with waterlogged packs and muddy boots all the way back. We worked hard for these ones but well worth it. I think a bunch of JHO'ers went up to FHL last weekend but as far as I know, we were the only ones that scored. Beginners luck I guess. Just glad me and MD both got our first DIY hawgs. No guide fees for these guys!

One of the 2 biggest boars I've seen taken at FHL was in 7, 300 lbs on the scale at the shack. Dude shot right behind me right before dark, blew one tusk off. He was so close to me I hopped behind an oak tree just in case. I could hear the hog feeding but never knew this hunter was even there. He killed it with 2nd shot. He looked for the blown off tusk but never found it. There was cougar running around in there a couple years back so be careful, haven't heard or seen him since but ya never know. He stalked Pete right at dark one night, he just had his bow and his glasses fogged up on him. lol. Boy was shaking when he go to the truck. Also, just so you know, when you look north from the north end of 7 that is Native Hunt property, it's a fenced in hunting ranch with wild boar and sheep in there. I've heard some guys have taken a shot across that valley not knowing where the boundary fence is. It sure looks great when you see the black dots on the hills over that way but be careful on the north end and seeing hogs across that meadow on the hills above. Now your challenge is to beat Westy's 3 for 3 on his first 3 trips on hogs at FHL.

I'm not afraid of a little walking. Pack, rifle, forced march - it's like old times again but more fun. Thanks for the tips on the boundaries and the cat. I've heard some nasty stories about those things. I haven't graduated to bow yet so hopefully if I do run into one, I'll have my rifle and pistol to deal with the threat.
I'm up for that challenge. Maybe I can set a record on JHO and then I'll never have to worry about finding hunting partners. Save me some gas money and driving time!

Thanks Bill. I'm headed back up there for the JHO Pres Day FHL hunt next year. We can carpool. It'll save $ on gas and driving time. I've been challenged to go 3/3 on my first 3 trips to FHL so I hope you're up for some hiking bud.

No way I was going to shoulder 120lbs of dead weight for an uphill climb, so I looped rope around both hocks and dragged him out on his back. After being dragged all that way over rocks, logs, and other assorted debris, there wasn't so much as a hair out of place on his hide. Pigs are tough - even when they're dead. ![]() |

Word is there is a short cut to training area 7 instead of taking the long way around through 6 and 3 to get to 7. On Mission Rd just past the Hacienda take the first dirt road on right, it's right before the bridge. That will get you over to Sulphor SPrings Rd above the new locked gate by cantonment. It's a fairly flat road and shoudn't be that nasty in the rain. |
