Javelina limits

[rossn2]

Javelinas are a native animal to Texas and considered a Game Animal for hunting purposes. The two per hunter per year is due to the Female only having 1 Shoat (baby) per year..

It is odd that the limit is state wide. Some areas of the state need to limit harvest as the population is so low. While some areas are absolutely overrun. I been on several south Texas ranches that abide by the two per year policy and there are so many javelins that it is almost impossible to hunt deer. You have to spread 100 pounds of corn out over 100's of yards so the 200 javelins that show up each sit don't eat it all before the deer show up.

They are the perfect animal for off-season spot and stalk bow hunting.

Ill trade all the javelinas on our lease for feral hogs right now, no questions asked.

I agree, I can be sitting in my stand and have 20 Javelina’s come in and eat up the corn then nap In the shade before a deer ever shows itself. I have two leases about 20 minutes apart here in south Texas, one has no hogs but tons of javelina and the other has tons of hogs but only like 2-3 javelina.

We had them in Dickens County, and I had pics of 30 of them around my feeder 2 years ago, but then they disappeared....

I heard they make good Cider in that county.

love hunting them, but two is plenty for me.

We had them back on our lease in Karnes county back in the late 90's and shot several every year. They have pretty much disappeared over the last 15 years and I wish we still had some. I have hunted some of those places where you see 20-30 every hunt and I agree you should be able to kill more.

Anecdotally, I think that their range is decreasing, and it probably has a lot to do with fencing. We've never seen one on our ranch in Camp Wood, but our neighbors used to see them many years ago.

I think it has more to do with feral hogs.
The javelina slowly disappeared as the pig population grew.
Who really knows...kind of like the what happened to the quail discussion.
Probably many factors.
