Anyone else have the statewide javelina tag coming up next week? My girlfriend and one of my friends are new to hunting, so i told them to pick up leftover javelina tags to try out hunting and see how they like hunting.
This entire past week I have been out scouting the Corralitos/Uvas areas and have seen some tracks, but no stink pigs. Anyone have any advice on where to look for them here in the southern/central part of the state?
I know the Dona Ana mountains have them, but i hate all the off roader traffic out there.
Any advice would be much appreciated, i just want them to at least see some pigs and hopefully they'll catch the hunting bug after going on a hunt.
 
Dude hit unit 17 and those arroyos, or even down south of cruces out here by the Potrillos mtns. There are some here. Hey I sent you a PM about that unit 19 bow hunt. I found 4 monster buck so far. Just need to get a little closer. Losing Rage broadheads is starting to get a little expensive.
 
They are in 17, but tend to disappear this time of the year, as farmers graze their cattle there. I hunted 17 for years, saw javelina every year while deer hunting, got a statewide tag, and could not find one. Just saw cow after cow, after cow. And all the grazing food was gone. The cows ripped all the country up. And ranchers wonder why us sportsman get upset that they graze their cattle on the land?
 
2 weekends ago in 17 I had three of them walk up to 50 yards while i was watching a group of does (and a buck that was pretty smart).
 
17 seems to be a favorite. Have you seen them in the the San Mateo mountains or south of there near Cuchillo or Monticello?
