Hunting Hours for Wild Pigs

July 14, 2011

Question: I plan to pig hunt in Tehama County but am unsure of the hunting hours. The pigs are most active at night. Is it legal to hunt them after dark? (Micky S.)

Answer: Wild pigs are big game and subject to the same legal shooting hours as deer, bear, elk and antelope. Hunting and shooting hours for these species run from one-half hour before sunrise to one-half hour after sunset (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 352).
