javi hunt recommendations welcomed early 2014

Izzy · January 15, 2013, 08:18:00 AM

I know my critter killin pal Randy has been there a few times and killed a pile of critters. Anyone else?
I looked at the website several times and it looks like beautiful, wild country. Im very interested in giving javis a go and the price is right here as well as the duration of the hunt. My boys are still pretty young so I cant go off for a 7 to 10 day hunt but this is a 3 day hunt, so with travel its probably doable in 5.
Id like to hear from folks even if theyve hunted in that particular region and what is the best time of year to hunt javis.

Where is it located?

Izzy,
A couple of years ago I hunted javis around Ft. Stockton; lots of pigs, and a fun hunt that is made for trad bows. At $48 for a Texas 5 day license, you can afford to pay a landowner and have a lot of fun in the process. I was there in March, and the weather was great; 40s in the mornings, 70s during the day.

the ranch is 35 miles south of ft. Stockton.

I was about 20 miles south of Ft. Stockton when I went. In 3 days you should have multiple opportunities at a stink pig.

Hey buddy. I took my dad there last Feb and we killed our limits and could have taken many more.

We need to go!

Id like to chat with you some more on this Randy. Curt, Texas has put up with double Puerto Ricans in the past and it was no worse for the wear. We only killed weak and or elderly critters

. Maybe we can set something up and rope Tarz in as well.

I was looking at the area on Google maps and it looks WILD ! Just what the Dr. ordered. Lots of steep and desolate country, true adventure and supposedly target rich.

We ain't left yet? Sounds like a great hunt. Good luck with it.

That's exactly what I had in mind!!

Bump!

Pat and Randy, if you fellas wouldnt mind posting a few pics of your trips down there that would be awesome.

I wanna go!

If it all come together youd be a pleasure to have along Terry Rec just try not to make us look bad. Youll probably do something like kill a running double with a 60 yard shot behind your back with a bow youve never shot before. By the way Terry, I finally joined the PBS.

Izzy, Here is a pic of one of the two javis I took. I was wearing camo, but it isn't really needed for these little guys. They do seem to have decent noses, although I don't know how they get past their own smell. The country is gentle rolling hills where I was, really brushy. I wasn't able to see for long distances where I was due to the thick brush. I took this pig right at daylight, and there were probably 20 or more around me, some as close as 5 yards, all grunting and arguing with each other. I shot this one at about 10 yards, and he went about 30 yards.

Izzy · January 23, 2013, 07:08:00 PM

Thats a nice one Pat. Looks like good stalking country.

c'mon guys, this sounds like a TradGang javie hunt in the making. I want to go tackle a javie as soon as I can get a good lead on them. I still have a valid TX hunting license from Solana!!
