Deer Season in California is at most 6 weeks (some places less) in
late Sept/Oct, which would severely the ability to hunt, unless of
course you don't care about huntin laws, like you don't care about
Leave No Trace.

I have never seen a wild pig anywhere in SoCal. They exist, but there
are quite a few more tag sold for them than reported kills.

If you bring stock, planning on having them graze or forage, the
animal would starve along most of the trail. Starving animals to death
is frowned upon.
