Tom Willoughby out of King City. ###First hunted with him in 84', then again last year. ###Great hunts both times. ###He knows the pigs habits and where to find plenty of them. ###1st hunt we saw nearly 150 pigs in 2 1/2 days, second hunt we saw 48 pigs in 6 hours. ###10-12 of those were shooters. ###My partner and I both had 170lb. pigs down by 11 AM the first day...........Erich. ###Hunterjohn where ya been?

<font face="Tahoma">I'm 3 for 3 with Nesson Schmidt out of King City. ###In the same 3 years our large group is 37 for 35. ###Most of us could have easily taken more than one hog. ###Hardest working guides I've ever been around.</font>

I haven't used a guide in years, but I am going on a hunt with Wild Hog Adventures out of Hollister the weekend of June 7-9. ###The ranch I hunt won't let me bring guests, and I had a bunch of buddies from another forum that wanted to go on a hog hunt. ### So we worked a great deal with Charles "Chopper" Snyder that is an unguided hunt, but provides access to his ranch. ###He's had great success so far this year. ###We'll see if it holds out for us. ### I make nothing off this and I pay for my hunt like the rest. ###I'm an admin at "the other forum" so I helped set the hunt up is all.

Boaring Experiences is a great service, too. ### A guide for them frequents this forum, so you'll probably hear from him. ###I'll be up in Parkfield this weekend.

My vote is for Frank Morasci of Mustang Guide Service. ###This guy and his crew are awesome. ###He has access to over 150000 acres and our group of 6-8 has always tagged out over the last several years. ###He only charges $400 (no trophy fees) for a weekend hunt. ###Best of all he is a good, honest guy and fun to hunt with.
