California Deer Association’s Habitat for Deer Wild Pig Hunts Here is your chance to help California deer habitat and at the same time have an awesome guided pig hunt. Pigs on the famous 270,000acre Tejon Ranch are having a negative effect on the habitat, which has resulted in reduced deer numbers in the area. Consequently, the number of deer hunts available on the ranch for CDA’s annual Sharing the Tradition junior deer hunts have been reduced. CDA was able to obtain a grant from the DFW Big Game Management Account to help improve the habitat in the area of Tejon Ranch for deer and other wildlife. This will be done by having 40 guided wild pig hunts (20 two-party hunts) on the ranch which will be given away in a free, random drawing conducted by CDA. Applications must be for a party of two hunters — no single hunter applications will be accepted. The hunts will be two hunters per guide. The ranch’s normal hunt or ac- cess fees will not be charged. Lodging and meals on the ranch are included. Hunters will have an option to shoot a second pig but they must pay $250 for this opportunity. These are two-day hunts and Rules and Requirements • Only non-lead ammunition can be used on this hunt. • Limit of one entry per hunter. • List hunt dates in order of preference. • Applicants must possess a valid 2014/2015 California Hunting License. • Applicants must possess a valid pig tag(s). • Listed hunt dates cannot be changed. • Hunts are nontransferable. • Hunt acceptance must be confirmed by October 4, 2014. • Space limitations limit this to just the two hunters drawn for the hunt. •Transportation to the Tejon Ranch is not included and is the responsibility of the winners. • Only winners will be notified by telephone. • Incomplete entries will not be included in the drawing. conclude after two days or when you have taken your pig/pigs.
