Title: Public land javalina?
Post by: Lee Lobbestael on January 07, 2012, 06:51:00 PM
Is there a productive place to hunt javalina on public land? Me and my brother are from Michigan and were thinking about planning a budget trip to hunt javalinas in west texas next winter.

From what I have seen of Texas hunting, you might as well bite the bullet and pay for some private ground. Texas is about 98 percent private land. Maybe some Texicans will chime in on this.

Spot on. I live here and it's tough to find public hunting. I wish I could be of more help...never shot a Javi myself

Even on Texas public land in many cases, javi's are a yearly draw hunt.  Its a pay as you go state - private land.

Javelina hunting on public land would be better in Arizona than Texas simply because Texas is just about all private land.

Well drawing a tag is the frist step here , next it finding a stop where there not alot of roads the road hunting here is bad . With that being said hunting good here just have fine good spot then find pigs . And then your have to go with open mind . Good luck
