East Park Reservoir Special Wild Pig Hunts 2001

Hunt Application Deadlines.

The California Department of Fish and Game published a tentative schedule for several muzzle loader only wild pig hunts  at the East Park Reservoir. These special hunts are held under a permit from the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR). East Park Reservoir is located in in western Colusa County. It has grasslands, some wetland, brush and oak woodland all of which are on the list of prime wild pig habitats.

Special hunts will take place in April, October and December of 2011. Each of the three hunting periods has 8 scheduled hunting periods of two days each. The actual hunting dates could still change, but the deadlines for applications will not.

Deadlines are as follows:

    * Fall Hunt: 5PM Wednesday, August 31, 2011
    * Winter Hunt: 5PM Monday, October 31, 2011

Applications (on a postcard) are due on the close of business on the dates listed above. Successful hunters will receive a confirmation e-mail and written material prior to hunt dates. Make sure you follow all instructions carefully. Only one application per hunter and no party applications.

Muzzle loading rifles only and no dogs. Successful hunters must participate in a pre-hunt orientation. They must also check in and out each day.
