Help Wanted!

Thanks for all of the help.

I'm thinking Texas for hog hunting, February or March for the more desirable weather.

But, is there a better time for improved success? Also, what part of Texas, any specific ranches to contact?


For Javelina, leaning toward Az. …..but open to Tx also. So recommended areas for Az. and Texas. If Texas is year-round…..best time and area (ranch, ect).

Thanks again guys for all of the help. We're getting "antsy" as we've hunted very little the past 5 years! memtb

For hogs and javelina, look to Texas. Prices can be very reasonable. Private lands are plentiful.

For just Javis, AZ has a bunch. Cheap too. Just need to draw a tag for most hunts, but there are some over the counter areas. Just not as dense of populations, so you need to know WHERE they are in those areas. Fun to hunt, they taste like stinky feet though.

Blue Rooster Ranch near Holbrook, AZ has hogs. Private land.

My wife and I have given up on the possibilities of ever hunting Alaska or Alaska, so we're gonna attempt some less expensive, hopefully easier to accomplish hunts in the Lower 48.

Our thoughts are pigs/hogs and maybe a Javelina hunt.

So, some suggestions on who to contact for hog hunting. A hunt that's reasonably priced, with pretty high success rates. We realize that hog hunting on public ground is likely near impossible. Especially as, we're not as mobile as we were years ago.

As for Javelina, what state would you folks recommend for a DIY hunt, that doesn't require you to be an Olympic athlete to hunt? What state, area/region would you suggest for inexperienced, older folks?

Oh and, we're not "long range" hunters/shooters, so we'd like to limit our shots to around 300 yrds and under!

I guess it's time to spend a little of our kids inheritance!

Thanks in advance! memtb
