208muley Report post Posted November 9, 2017 I'm not going to give up my spots but if you look for areas 3/4 to 1 mile or more away from roads or spots that have natural barriers like a steep ridge or canyon and nice looking basins beyond then you have a gold mine for piggies in those units. Pig herds get pounded hard close to roads and most guys won't walk far for them cause they are "just pigs". The spots I hunt are way off the road and I literally can sit on one hill and sometimes see 3-4 herds of pigs numbering 15-30 in each herd. Move a couple miles and find the same thing. Then get close to roads and it gets tough again. They don't ever get hunted and it shows when they do catch my scent they almost never blow out, they act curious as to what this new smell is.. Not kidding... Find those spots and you will have big, dumb herds with no competition.. Good luck 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted November 9, 2017 In addition to what 208 said. There are Javelina all thru out that unit. Walk just about any desert wash find the tracks and find a high point and glass. If you have fresh tracks they will be within the area unless pushed out. Use your maps to find bigger roadless areas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
