Javelina Problem

[Bradical BH]

Check cameras yesterday, feeder been throwing for three weeks. Very few deer, no pigs. But covered in a huge pack of Javelinas every time corn touches the ground. This is a huge problem because the deer won't go near the feeder when they are around and they are always around. Bow hunting only so a cattle panel feed pen is quite impractical. Looking for any ideas outside the norm to keep these nasty little beast outta my hunting area. Btw they ruined my hunting last season as well.... Any advice is appreciated.

I see a fence in your future.

I'd get the feed pen and have an elevated bow stand, or sell 7 hunts @$200per and get them killed off.

Hog panel is your friend

Hog panels is the answer. Tall enough jav's can't go over most pigs won't and short enough to shoot over for deer even from a ground blind

I'd be elevating my stand and building a big pen!

bullets, arrows

Pen and elevated blind cut panels lower on the side facing your stand and most animals will take the path of least resistance just me but if I had a problem last year I would have started on a solution a year ago good luck with them and hope your deer return

Also, depending how your lease agreement works, in the off season you could have a few groups out to hunt the Javi during the off season to help pay for the corn/protein bill.

Get hog panels and incorporated your blind into the feeder pen.

Have bow
Will travel
Seriously if your lease will allow you to bring outside hunters, I might be interested price pending.

As it's been said above, hog panels and then cut the section of the pen you would be shooting through lower. I did exactly this for Javi's with a popup on the ground and it worked great. I attached a picture of one of my pens. If you look closely at the right hand side you can see that I cut the panel. My blind is back in the bushes to the right but you can't see it in the game camera picture. At this lease we only had Javi's so I wasn't worried about making the pen real strong so I only needed 1 T-Post per panel and with 3 of us it only took about 30 minutes to build the pen. The pen is smaller then I like but for this lease the deer didn't mind small pens at all as they were used to even smaller pens on the protein stations they have been feeding in all their lives. I also would corn outside the pen when I would hunt but not right in front of the cut panel because if you do, you can easily have deer you don't want to shoot right in from of your shooting lane to inside the pen and almost always the dominate buck would be in the pen. Even though the pen is small, I've had as many as 8 bucks in the pen at once.

Not sure why you say a pen won't work??? It's your solution!

Fence around feeder,don't be superized if they don't go under it..Do as suggested offer hunts to get in line

[Mayhem]

We have Javelina and the only way be found to remedy them was feeder pen, since the state only lets you shoot 2 of them. [emoji848]
