News: Attention Deer Hunters!
The State has placed 175 G11 tags to be sold on terminals anywhere where licenses are sold. This will allow our customers that are not conveniently located near the Base Exchange to purchase the tag.  On that note, it is recommended that those WHO HAVE LOCAL ACCESS to the Base Exchange to purchase it there.  There are 325 tags being sold to our Base Exchange patrons. All tags are first come first serve. Please e-mail Officer Moses with any questions: wayne.moses.1@us.af.mil
Again, please be considerate of VAFB hunters living outside the convenient range of the Base Exchange.

Im on Camp Pendleton and I'm planing on heading up sometime soon for some Hog hunting. I went down to Cleveland National Forest and didn't see any Hog just Deer and Turkey.
   
   I'm just wanting some info on good areas and the success rates on hog ( with a bow ). Any info will help just trying to gather as much as i can so i can fill my tag.

  Also is hunter orange mandatory for all areas there?

Orange is mandatory everywhere but archery only areas.  Hogs are all over the base, and I've killed 'em with a bow all over.  I've also gotten close enough to 'em to kill with a bow when gun hunting.  A lot of the base is heavily overgrown and has to be seen to be believed.  If you shoot a hog near that stuff be prepared to crawl on hands and knees into really nasty stuff; poison oak and brambles grown into an impenetrable wall.  Proximity to that kind of stuff often dictates where I will use a bow.  Locating hogs for us is a matter of getting up high and glassing large areas, then determining how to approach them once seen. 

Hope this helps.
