You can never guarantee a wild animal on a guided hunt. You can tell them you see pigs all the time or a lot. I guided pigs for over 35 years with and without dogs.
Not sure if anyone would be interested or not, but I have private deer hunting property in Mendocino county in California in Zone A. I just had 3 openings come up. If anyone is interested you can PM me.
I hear Redding can get hot, didn't know they had so much poison oak. That's why I like hunting the coastal range in Mendocino county, it can get warm, but not that hot and not that much poison oak.
I hunt private property on the coastal range. We have resident deer that we see year after year. I would say that I have taken quit a few bucks by catching them going to water mid day.
Where I'm located the deer here are the true Columbian Blacktail with no cross over breeding. I'm on the Mendocino county coastal range, 11 miles from the ocean.
