DIY Wild Hog and Quail Hunts less than 2 Hours from Los Angeles!

Set against the backdrop of the Tehachapi Mountains in Kern County, Cummings Ranch offers 1,000 acres of storied California ranchland just 15 minutes from historic downtown Tehachapi and two hours north of Los Angeles. This working cattle ranch, in continuous operation since the 1800s, invites sportsmen to experience a classic California hunt at the base of the Sierra Nevada range.

The terrain is a mix of open ridgelines, shaded creek draws, and oak-dotted hills that provide abundant cover and forage for wildlife. Well-maintained ranch roads and an expansive trail system allow access across the entire property, whether you're navigating on foot, by quad, dirt bike, or motorcycle. Spring-fed drainages and seasonal creeks cut through the ranch, creating productive wildlife corridors and dependable water sources. With excellent cell service and WiFi coverage supported by onsite towers, you’ll stay connected while off-grid.

Hunters will find a rich opportunity here, particularly for wild hogs and quail. The elevation changes and mix of brush and open ground provide ideal conditions for both spot-and-stalk and ambush-style hunting.
