Public land javalina?

[Lee Lobbestael]

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

I've done the public land thing in Texas for number of years and cant think of one that would have Javi's Maybe San Angelo

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.
