There are no pigs left in so Cal, feds eradicated them. Don't laugh but there is one old boar left and his days are numbered.
Quail in the cnf are really hurting from the drought. Even good dope is not much help. Have to drive to find them
Cats are all over keep calling and use a decoy, same goes for coyotes
Turkey are in the same boat as quail, we need rain bad, please do not shoot hens
2 trips does not a pattern make. Last two times I hunted my best coyote spot I saw zero dogs. This place is loaded but they didn't want to play

U might also want to look around the IV.. lots of cottontails and quail hang around the ditches and on the edges of farmland and wildland. As others said, quail numbers in CNF are down. I'm seeing fewer rabbits too due to drought and brush overgrowth in areas that used to be good, but they're still there if u look around.
OC Cnf is super tough to quail hunt. Usually you only see them right on the road and you can't shoot on the road. I've heard of turkeys being on the OC side of the mountains but have never looked myself. I'm up there quite a bit and have never heard one but I've never actively looked for them.
If you're going to hunt turkeys, stick with San Diego Co......At one time, there were turkeys on most portions of the Cleveland......Not so much now, but they do move off of private during spring dispersal.
No substitute for scouting.

I believe CNF OC closes the trails/roads to wheeled vehicles (bikes also) only for erosion purposes. Foot travel ok. You might want to double check that info.
You may be waiting awhile......The is setting up as a epic rain year......Pouring here in Esco AGAIN!
