The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
On the other hand, I live a few minutes from Cleveland National Forest. Guess I had better buy a couple of pig tags and keep them in the truck. On the down side, Cleveland National Forest is a coastal hill range, only 5000 feet elevation at its highest point but mostly a 70-80% grade. The cover is Oak and coastal chaparral, almost impenetrable in places. It runs from Orange county South almost to the Mexican border. Shoot a pig in the morning, take the kids to Disneyland in the afternoon...

I saw an article in American Hunter about hunting wild hogs from a helicopter.
This is something only Governments or the rich can afford. I looked at the rates for renting a helicopter here: http://www.paradigmhelicopters.com/pricing-rates.php Lowest price is $400.00 per hour, Here are some expensive ones, $1,900 per hour. http://www.libertyhelicopterscharter...charter-rates/

Cleveland NF, as in San Diego, CA? Seems to me like they would already have pigs in that area. There are substantial numbers just to the north of there.

Those are the ones they are talking about, Scorch. A couple of months ago, they were as far north as Warner Springs. I have feeling they re further north than that...

Scanning some of the old newspaper articles, it looks like hogs have been a problem in the Cleveland National Forest for a while, at least since 1998.
