A Two-day Nonresident Hunting License to Shoot Pigs

June 23, 2011

Question: My friend is coming to California soon and I’d like to take him out pig hunting. Since we’ll only have a couple of days available to hunt, can he just purchase a two-day nonresident license to cover him on the days we hunt? It seems like a waste to buy a full license for only a few days of hunting. (Jared H., Coalinga)

Answer : Unfortunately, no. The two-day hunting license is only valid for taking resident small game and nongame birds/mammals and is not valid for big game species in California.. Your friend would be required to buy an annual nonresident license and a current nonresident wild pig tag.
