Still have one of the original phone-pole posters for the closing of Lions. Took it off a pole myself. I thought at the time it was an "end of an era" kinda' thing.
I also have one for OCIR, but had one send out to me. Didn't attend that closure.

Thought I'd throw a vid out there.
I'm feeling nostalgic.
There are lots o' vids but this one communicates the gritty feeling of those days.

Check this org out. An old friend races all these events. Though I haven't made one in years. Close to Fresno though.

The closest town is Shandon CA. We hunted with this outfit: Bitterwater Outfitters - Central Coast of California pig hunt, buffalo hunt and more...
Most of the pigs taken were smallish. Out of 7 hunters in camp, there was one big nasty old boar taken that probably went 250lbs, another sow that had good size but was drawn up pretty bad from recent litters and probably didn't go over 120lbs, and then my sow I would estimate at 150. I don't think any of the other 4 went over 80lbs.
Lot of things we didn't like about this hunt, and at this point I am undecided on going back. But we sure did see a lot of pigs. Out of 7 hunters, everyone but me filled their tags the first evening. Plus we saw Bison. And the outfitter shot and killed a rogue Ostrich!
