Hunted with Ken Burton of Burton Enterprises for some javies, and got two the same morning. Shots were at 10 and 15 yards, recovery within 50 yards. Saw lots of piggies, and stayed at a ranch house about 20 miles from Ft. Stockton, Texas. The rates are reasonable. jadams was hunting there this morning when I left, but I don't know if he scored or not. Josh, hope you did well.

That looks like a heck of alot of fun!!!!  

Congrats on some fine shooting  

Good deal. Looks like a good time too.. Will ya mount them?

Congratulations. I have a strategy-I miss all of my opportunities on the first day of a 2 day Javie hunt and then get both mine on day 2.(Hey, thats my story and I'm sticking with it.)

Looks like you had a great time.  Looking for a new place to go myself for next year.  Any particulars you can share about this hunt?

Congrats  

Guys,
www.burtonenterprises.com  will get you to the website. The hunt was from a ground blind. I was wanting a spot and stalk hunt, but after seeing the country, I could tell that it would be really tough to luck into javies by that method; the desert flora is dense, and the country fairly flat, so hunting from a blind made more sense. I hunted the first evening at the ranch, and saw javies but had no shot; they stayed about 40 yards out, even though the wind was perfect. The next morning, I snuck into the blind well before daylight, and heard javies all around me. It was pretty cool; they were fighting with each other, really raising cain, and I had a great time listening to them until I could start to make them out in the early light. I had several opportunities, but waited for perfect shots, which came. Javelina really grunt when they get hit. One was a pass through and he only went about 50 yards; the other buried the arrow to the fletch, and I paced off 38 steps from hit to pig down. By the way, I had read that they don't leave much of a blood trail; I can confirm that.
If you want a fun early spring hunt, I recommend trying a javelina hunt.
And yes, Dave, they are now at the taxidermist.

Pork chops in applesauce,YUM, YUM.      

Cool sounds like a good hunt, and good shooting!

I like the picture and that looks like a lot of fun.  I would like to make it down to texas some day.
