Javelina Hunting

[Killer Miller]

Has anyone ever hunted javelina on the lincoln ranch? Headed there the second weekend of february and was needing a little information about it. Good hunting or what?

Yep. I personally wouldnt waste a lot of time going for the javi's and stay rested up for sitting on stand at night for hogs. If you can hunt the pasture on the oppisite side of the road from the camp house. If you are dead set on javi's bring lots of corn and make the roads look like they was painted yellow.

Check yourself everyday for fleas and ticks, they arent having any shortages of them at the Lincoln.

Javi's are fun to hunt.......they are blind as a bat and easy to stalk if you play the wind right.....

Did u kill or have an oppurtunity at a javelina while u were there or anyone that was with u?

Everyone saw javi's but only 1 person got a javi. Another guy got a piglet of maybe 10 pounds. If you hunt at night for hogs make sure you and your equipment are dead silent, the pigs will bolt at the slightest sound. If its still quail season when you go take a slingshot just incase, camp is covered up with them. Plenty of rabbits there also.
Watch for rattlesnakes too, we killed one about 6 foot and saw another about 7 foot long.

I've killed javi's at the Lincoln. They are plentiful but are fairly skittish. You should have plenty of opportunity to kill a few and get on some pigs. If you are hunting a baitlight sit tight, its easy to get restless on stand but the pigs will come. If you choose not to hunt a baited stand stalking pigs with just the moonlight is a blast. Wear comfortable shoes because you can cover some serious ground in one day/night.
