firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted January 20, 2005 just paid for one and it should be gettin here soon, i read the one story where it worked awesome, my dad has the feb HAM hunt and hope it will work there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted January 20, 2005 I have that call and it works great. But I also think most any predator call will work also. I called in several javelina with it on several different occassions. Make sure you keep blowing on it, the javies seem to stop coming when you stop screaming on it. The hard thing is getting ready for a shot while calling. You don't want the call getting caught when you release your bow string. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

More D Report post Posted January 20, 2005 I actually won a J-13 call from Javelinahunter.com about two years ago and for some resone I have not had much luck with it.....at all. I keep wondering what I am doing wrong. I seems that every one and there brother has great stories to tell with it except me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted January 20, 2005 More D, Have you been blind calling or calling when you actually see the javelina? Blind calling is pretty hit or miss, but if you see a herd you can't get close to and try calling, they should respond unless they are super spooked or you are in an area where lots of people have called before.

gnoto Report post Posted January 20, 2005 I'm gonna try one this HAM hunt in Feb. 36A. Stop by if your in the area. My camp looks like a mash unit. Should'nt be more then a dozen tents! I have tried a few other calls in the past with little luck but it may be due to the fact that I did not call constant until they came back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted January 20, 2005 I have called Javelina on quite a few occations w/ my circe varmint call. Only once did I have them run from the call so I think it is a very productive method when they are spooked. It is a pretty big rush to have pigs running straight at you. Be careful. Ps. they were always w/in 100 yards when I called them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
One Track Report post Posted January 21, 2005 I'm 50-50 on the call. The first three time I blew on that thing, javies turned around and started sprinting at me. The last three times, no response. I think you have to be downwind no matter what. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noel Arnold Report post Posted January 21, 2005 Years ago my dad bought a tape of baby javelina screaming. We have used it for years with great results. Our best results are late evenings or cloudy days all day long. It also works best with herds that have not been hunted to hard. Good areas are ones that are hard to glass pigs. Flats and very thick canyons seem to be the best. Noel Arnold Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rabbit Report post Posted January 25, 2005 I was bowhunting yesterday when my friend smelled javelina. We set up to call the flat atop the ridge, and about thirty seconds after starting to sqeal on the Primos javelina call, had a fox run under the tree I was standing behind, four feet from where I was standing, . He looked up at me, decided I wasn't edible, and was gone in a flash. Was pretty cool to see. Other times, when after seeing the pigs and calling, its been about 50/50 on them running away or coming in. Doug/Red Rabbit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
