Next Pig-O-Rama set for Dec. 7-9 at Tejon Ranch

### ### ### ###The Tejon Ranch will host a Pig-O-Rama the weekend of ###Dec. 7-9, and the hunter who bags the heaviest hog during the three-day event will win $500, according Don Geivet, the game manager at the ranch.

### ### ### ###The “Ham Slam,” as the event is also known, costs $300 (and all hunters must also have a $10 insurance policy), and the hunter bagging the biggest field dressed hog between Friday and Sunday will win a $500 prize. Winning hogs in most of the recent Pig-O-Ramas have been around 220 to 230 pounds.

### ### ### ###Tejon guided hunts cost $650 for one pig, and the price includes all accommodations, meals, and field care of the pig. You can add a second pig for $350 more. Success rates have been nearly 100 percent for the guided rifle hunts. The Pig-O-Rama is a bargain hunt on the Tejon, besides being an opportunity to win $500.

### ### ### ###For more information, contact Don Geivet or Sandy at, Tejon Ranch Company, P.O. Box 1000, Lebec, CA 93243. Telephone: (661) 663-4208 or (661) 663-4209.

I hope to scrape the $300 together. ###It sounds like a good hunt and who knows...there'll probably be a few folks from this forum who'd be good to meet.

Sounds like fun. I understand there is a lot of pork running around there. I remember the same hunt being offered with a $1000.00 for the winner.

I take it this hunt is non-guided. ###Has anyone hunted there without a guide? ###Can you drive your truck around? ###Will they give you maps?

I hunted there without a guide. ### Find the water. ###There are alot of springs, and you will find the pigs. ###I saw about 40 pigs in two days, including a huge boar which scared the Sh.. out of me while I was driving down one of the roads. ###The maps they have are not detailed. ###Cal Gold in Pasadena has all kinds of maps. ###I took a nice meat sow. There were lots of mosquitos!!!

Not to bad of a deal for a weekend hunt. ###Do they provide the meals and rooms or do we take care of that ourselves? ###It really does not matter. ###I will be there. ###Hope to see alot of you there. ###It would be nice to meet some the folks that are members on this site.

lets just say that if you only brought a knife to hunt with you would leave with a pig. farm pigs. they have some nice anterler animals though. i shot a nice full curl texas doll with a redhawk 44 mag. i would not recomend a rifle though, you could shot an animal on the other side of the ranch with little or no problem.
