Bitterwater Outfitters is providing a free range, fully guided California wild pig hunt for 1 hunter. Hunting wild pigs is one of the greatest benefits of California hunting — plentiful, year round access, and excellent protein when successful!
 
With access to 30 private hunting ranches and over 300,000 acres of prime California hunting ground, Clayton Grant and the Bitterwater Outfitters team traverse the varying terrains of brushy canyons, rolling grain fields, open flats and oak hillsides to find and then show you where the wild pigs are plentiful. An average pig weighs 150 pounds and they are prime meat pigs due to the various food sources in the area. 
 
This is a guided wild pig hunt with up to two days of hunting, but due to the large pig numbers, as well as the experience and knowledge of the guides, a lot of  hunts are concluded on the first day. With a 98% success rate you are sure to have the opportunity to get your game.
 
Includes up to two days of hunting either by foot or by truck or off road vehicle; field dressing and skinning of game; and complimentary delivery to a local butcher and/or taxidermist if requested. This hunt includes the opportunity to harvest one pig. Additional game may be taken and hunters may join at regular posted fees in consultation with Clayton.
 
Lodging and meals are not included but there are a lot of good options, including ones on the ranch hunting areas. The Central Coast is also in the heart much savored Wine Trail on Hwy 46 East. Make your trip more enjoyable by taking a wine tasting tour or going to one of the many wine festivals in Paso Robles which are held throughout the year.

Own a limited edition, artist-signed giclee by renowned artist Clint Eagar. “Mountain Ram” has been chosen as the SCI 2020 Artist of the Year piece, and this beautiful and inspiring piece is only available through Safari Club and SCI Chapters. In Clint Eagar’s words: “I was awestruck by how beautifully this bighorn ram was captured in this magnificent shot. This ram is a new world record and scored at 216 3/8. The image was taken by photographer David Irwin just over a year before this large male died of natural causes. It was a long and rigorous trip where the photographer almost lost his life on the journey. This bighorn ram was challenging to do, due to its depth of field and perspective of the shot taken over a mound. You can see the soft touches of the out-of-focus tundra close to you, as the subject is in mid-range of the shot. To create the painting with three levels of depth with the far-off background, also out of focus, shows what great attention to detail was taken to capture the look.”
