5yearcoueshunter Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Jake, Unit 22 is defiinately my top pick for the 3 month hunt. I have hunted that unit 3 times and all were successful. I have a buddy that also hunts unit 21A and has gotten a couple of pigs there. A lot of people think the northern hunt to be a lot tougher but I disagree. You have 3 months to hunt, very little hunting pressure, and in some units I think there is just as many porkers as the southern units. The only thing about the norther hunt is that it is more brushy so you can't do the long range glassing like the souther units. I have found most my Javelina in the bottom of creek drainages and canyons right as you get into the N.F. Hope this helps, and good luck on your hunt.

Corkin Report post Posted January 16, 2004 Thanks Travis, Ill give it a look. It will be fun to try a new area. How is the water in the area? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
5yearcoueshunter Report post Posted January 19, 2004 Jake, there is usually quite a bit of water in this unit. There are several creek drainages that sometimes have water depending on how much snow there's been. But even in dry years there are several ponds and water tanks that I have seen Javelina use frequently. Good Luck, Travis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
