Conservative Game Management Expands Guided Hog Hunting to Combat California’s 400,000 Feral Pig Population Threatening $1.5B in Agricultural Damage

Family-Owned Coalinga Outfitter Provides Year-Round Invasive Species Management Across 1.3 Million Acres of Private Fresno County Ranch Land

COALINGA, CA — Conservative Game Management, a family-owned hunting outfitter based in Coalinga, California, announces expanded guided hog hunting services across Fresno County and Central California in response to the state’s growing feral pig crisis. With California’s wild pig population reaching approximately 400,000 animals across 56 counties and causing an estimated $1.5 billion in annual agricultural damage nationwide, the company’s professionally guided hunts provide critical invasive species management while protecting the region’s farming economy and native ecosystems.

Operating across 1.3 million acres of private ranch land in the Diablo Range and Central Valley, Conservative Game Management offers year-round wild pig hunting experiences for novice and experienced hunters under California’s 2024 Wild Pig Validation system, which allows unlimited harvests to address the state’s escalating invasive species challenge.

Addressing California’s Escalating Feral Hog Population Crisis

California ranks fourth nationally in feral hog populations, with Monterey County reporting the highest concentration of wild pigs in the state. These invasive animals (Sus scrofa) threaten crop production, native wildlife habitats, and water quality throughout the Central Valley. U.S. agricultural producers report between $1.5 billion and $2.5 billion in annual feral swine damage, with California’s population growing at approximately 20% annually despite ongoing control efforts.

“Feral hogs pose a serious threat to native ecosystems, agriculture, and biodiversity in Fresno County and throughout Central California,” said a representative from Conservative Game Management. “Our guided hunting programs provide effective population control while offering hunters safe, ethical experiences across some of California’s premier private ranch lands.”

Conservative Game Management’s services align with Senate Bill 856, signed in 2022, which established California’s current Wild Pig Validation system. This regulatory framework allows year-round hunting with no bag limits, recognizing the urgent need for expanded feral hog management statewide.

Comprehensive Guided Hunting Services Beyond Wild Pigs

In addition to wild pig management, Conservative Game Management offers professionally guided hunts for Blacktail deer, Tule elk, American bison, wild turkey, coyote, dove, and quail across California’s premier hunting areas. The company’s conservation-focused programs include habitat improvement, predator management, and customized ranch plans designed to enhance wildlife populations and maintain ecological balance.

By applying regulated hunting seasons, selective harvesting, and ethical practices, the company ensures sustainable wildlife populations while minimizing environmental impact. Collaboration with landowners, wildlife experts, and local communities supports responsible stewardship of natural resources throughout Central California.

Expert Guides and Exclusive Private Land Access

The outfitter’s team consists of experienced hunters from Coalinga and surrounding areas, each with extensive knowledge of the Diablo Range and local wildlife behavior patterns. Hunts are accompanied by one to three professional guides depending on species and hunting method, providing expert assistance and personalized attention.

Access to over 1.3 million acres of private ranch land throughout Fresno County sets Conservative Game Management apart, offering hunters exclusive opportunities unavailable on public lands. Responsible land management practices ensure healthy wildlife populations and premium hunting conditions year-round.

The company’s facility, located at 50200 North Fork Road in Coalinga, provides central access to Fresno County’s top hunting territories. Most ranches are within one hour of the main facility, allowing hunters to maximize field time.

Educational initiatives provide hunters with knowledge of ethical practices, sustainable hunting methods, and responsible wildlife management, helping to maintain healthy ecosystems for future generations.

Controlled hog hunting protects California farmland by reducing crop damage and mitigating agricultural losses from destructive feral pigs.
