The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is offering wild pig hunting opportunities in March, April and May at the Joice Island Unit of the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area in Solano County.
To apply for pig hunt drawings, visit CDFW’s Online License Sales and Services website. For more information about Joice Island wild pig hunts and pig hunting opportunities on CDFW lands elsewhere in the state, go to CDFW’s wild pig hunt information page. Applications are due Feb. 14 for March hunts, March 14 for April hunts and April 11 for May hunts.
Joice Island is a 2,150-acre wetland area consisting of thick cattails, tules, brush and standing water. The limited-entry, permit-only hunts help control the population of wild pigs on Joice Island. Hunters may only use shotguns with nonlead slugs or archery equipment. Dogs and bicycles are not allowed.
