This is a so called "put and take" 640 acre (1 sq. mile) fenced game ranch. It is stocked with imported pure European pigs. The terrain is extremely challenging. If you've hunted the Tejon Ranch, it's the same steep canyons, oak grove, sage brush mix. In fact the other side of the fence is the north end of the Tejon Ranch.
They limit the amount of hunters on the property to 10. It's all walking up and down the various canyons and meadows.
In the past I've hunted Catalina Island, Tejon Ranch, Carrizo Plain, Coalinga Mineral Springs, and some other places. This ranch hunt is as challenging as any of those spots. And the pigs are wild. If they see you or smell you, they're gone. The first one I saw was feeding under the oaks around 40 yards away. Thought it would be easy, but when I unsnapped my holster, he heard it and was gone. The two of us hunted from first light to dark two days and came up with one pig. We probably saw about 30-40 during the 2 days, but most were cross canyon out of pistol range, or breaking out of the sagebrush at full speed.
