Azhockeycoach Report post Posted January 12 For those hunting the archery javelina season....are you seeing more activity in the morning or afternoon? I can't find a javelina at this point! Thinking these cold mornings have them bedded down until it warms up? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwoody Report post Posted January 13 9am sunny hillsides, knows the time to get out and walk creek bottoms and look for tracks while its wrt. They will be very fresh. Then head up shady side of ridge and glass back to the sunny side of hill. If you can find green wattles also. But find them tracks. You have better luck if you know where there neighborhood is, and its hard to find moving rocks when your looking everywhere or driving. My take only. Goodluck 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HuntHarder Report post Posted January 13 The Javelina we found yesterday were all bedded up in the sun @ 3pm. Terrible weather yesterday, but managed to get a pig and a shot at a muley for my out of state buddies. Javelina have a relatively small range, after a good rain storm, put in some boot miles in an area where you have seen them and try and narrow down their range. Once you find a herd or 2, the hunting will last for years and years. No need to hike miles away from roads unless you like that sort of thing. Most of the herds I hunt are spotted from high points off of roads and then stalked into and killed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

high rise hunter Report post Posted January 14 I saw so many javelina this last week. Honestly more than I've seen in the last 5 years collectively. Not sure if it's the short grass or what but I noticed once the sun hits in the morning they were out. Did see herds on their feet at all times of the day though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crazymonkey Report post Posted January 14 Got a shot last weekend at 35 yds across a draw with a spring in the bottom . Hit the pig as I watched it carry my arrow about 10 feet and then it dropped out the off side . A few hours of searching and all I got was a red arrow and a bunch of briers in my pants from being down in the creek bottom. Seems like more pigs where we hunt and there out moving . Most were early morning 7am-till around noon . I can't hunt late due to work but my buddy hasn't seen one late but he does drag his feet and kick rocks as he walks . Not exactly a quiet stalk kinda person. These two were at 70 after I shot . I ran into another hunter going in the draw I'd just hit my pig in and was trying to put him on pigs but every time we saw the pigs they were on the opposite side of the draw and he couldn't get a shot. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sky Island junkie Report post Posted January 16 I was in the field probably 25 days on various hunts and didn’t see near as many pigs as usual. Coyotes are super thick so we’re working on that 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
