California charges $18.95 per hog tag you can buy as many as you want and lets not for get the fact that you have to use copper bullets( because of the california condor) and you can only use dogs if you are going to kill the hog with a gun that must have a centerfire round in it and it must be copper!!! You can not use GPS tracking units on your dogs to hunt of any kind, even if you you have an older tracking unit if it has a treeing switch on it you can not use it. You can only hunt hogs in the day light like normal big game. What do you expect from a bunch of tree hugging liberal hippies and now the reelected Jerry Brown one of the most liberal governers. God help them I have some family that lives there I get told all the time it just gets worse and worse. I have friends that still guide hunts there and they have some of my dogs there most of the time they have to take the clients back to the lodge befor they go find the cripple hogs. Because the do not let them see the dogs work and get cut. One thing is can say for california hogs they do have some good teeth, Have seen lots for my self. JMO
Thats why I got the hell out of there. I was making $42.50 an hour and couldnt afford to live there. $2,400 a month to rent a house in the valley, then have to put up with all the stupid laws, Gangs and other things. Not for me, I grew up there. The hog tag thing must have changed, when I was there the tags cost $80 and that gave you 8 tags but 1 tag was for 1 day you had to use them in consecutive, that meant that when you started to hog hunt you had 8 days straight to hunt and you were done.
