Doing it wrong: hunting wild pigs at the Geysers

Posted on April 18, 2010 by Will

I guess I have the pig hunting sickness. What started as a fun hobby almost killed me and two friends this past weekend. What sucks is that I’m not deterred. If anything I am more determined to stalk and kill a wild pig on public land.

Wild pig recipes: Spicy Boar Chili, Wild Pig Meatloaf, Boaring Lasagna, and Honey-mustard Smoked Ham

Posted on April 11, 2010 by Will

A colleague and good friend from work, Jeff Meyer, made me a bet that I wouldn’t actually find and kill a pig. The terms of the bet were that he would cook the pig and provide the beer for everyone at Centellax to enjoy. I’m not sure what I was supposed to do if I didn’t get a pig, but, well, it didn’t matter, did it?

Hunting wild pigs on public land: East Cow Mountain

Posted on April 11, 2010 by Will

I’m determined to stalk and kill a wild pig on public land. Judging by the pig tag return data, I’m probably not going to be successful. Too bad I’m stubborn.

1/2 done! My sixth quarter at UC Davis’ Bay Area Working Professional MBA Program

Posted on April 10, 2010 by Will

Halfway there. A year and a half down, a year and a half to go. How do I feel about it? Mixed emotions.

Business school is challenging, and attending part-time while working full-time is even tougher. Don’t get me wrong, each assignment is reasonable and the tests and exams aren’t too difficult, it’s the cumulative effect of case studies and textbooks and textpacks and optional (read: not optional) readings and group projects and homework and tests and quizzes and exams.

Recommended rifle and ammunition for hunting California wild pigs

Posted on April 7, 2010 by Will

After I decided I wanted to hunt wild pigs I was faced with a challenging question: how?

Hunting with a bow and arrow sounds cool, but I don’t think I’m that hardcore. Crossbows are interesting but a little medieval for me. Dropping from a tree with a big knife sounds like a recipe for disaster. I guess there are other ways to do it, but I decided I needed a rifle.

Success! Hunting wild pigs at Lake Sonoma, Northern California

Posted on March 24, 2010 by Will

If at first you don’t succeed, pay someone to help you succeed. Our first hunting trip was a mess. We didn’t find any pigs. We didn’t even know what to look for. We needed help.
