A mile stock on a Javelina? All the ones I've killed combined don't add up to a mile. LolI made it out for the archery last weekend. Saw three but no shots. By the time a made the mile hike in where I glassed them feeding, I lost perspective in the sea of waist high shrubs.
Congrats, that's awesomeI got one on the fourth day. I saw fewer than I expected and mainly in thicker cover, but only my second javelina hunt. I had given up and decided to focus on quail. Then saw him about 200y from the road and put a good stalk and shot on him.
How close are you getting? I stalked two different javelinas yesterday and blew it both times right when I was getting into range. My bow is only set for 40 yards at the longest. I was basically crawling at that point but I think I still made too much noise. It was flat sandy/gravel type stuff with a few low mesquites around and I tried to hide behind those. That one I had shot at and missed a couple weeks ago must've been old and losing his wits because these two were a hell of a lot spookier.I got one on the fourth day.

I shot at 28y. Archery is a different beast! Makes rifle hunting seem easy though.
It ain't complicated. Don't be seen, herd, or smelled. Watch their eyes: if you can't see their eyes, they can't see you. Go slow. Take a step, reevaluate. Another step, another evaluate. Just because it's simple doesn't make it easy.
For me, I didn't have much cover, but it was dusk and they were feeding. The ground was sandy, which helped.
