Native Hunt Enterprises, Inc. | Established 1990
Our History
Native Hunt Enterprises, Inc. is a licensed, state-bonded, and insured hunting guide service. In business since 1990 with ranches located in Monterey and Fresno Counties, our operations were founded by T. Michael Riddle through dedicated land restoration and wildlife stewardship.
A Four-Year Ecological Endeavor
Restoring the Land to Native Splendor
When T. Michael Riddle bought the property in 1990, he had already been hunting on it for years. However, he felt that the land had been neglected and was eager to restore it to its original beauty. The previous owners allowed open hunting on the land, which rapidly depleted all the wildlife.
Hunters with Harvested Wild Turkeys
Habitat Stewardship & Recent Tour Shots
After purchasing the property, Michael embarked upon a four-year endeavor to restore the land to its native and wild natural beauty. He planted various native grains and plants throughout the property and nurtured the land back to health. As the quality of the land improved and open hunting was halted, the animals thrived and began to reproduce and grow.
Native Plantings
Extensive seeding of perennial grasses and native grains to sustain wild herds year-round.
400 Eurasian Boar
Imported approximately 400 pure Eurasian wild boars—eight times more than William Randolph Hearst.
Bison & Wild Sheep
Brought in American Bison and several varieties of wild sheep to thrive on the Jolon property.
The Jolon Property & Exotic Game
Forming an Elite Hunting Experience
hen the animal populations rebounded, Michael's vision of an elite hunting experience was formed. Now, Native Hunt is at its best with a beautiful landscape and a thriving wildlife population. Michael has gone to great lengths to maintain exotic wildlife on the Jolon property, offering a wide variety of animals to hunt.
