Javelina in the Burros?

[elkfanatic]

Anyone know whats the situation with javelinas in the burros? I drew a archery coues tag and I figured why not try and shoot a pig while I'm at it.

Buy a tag and you won't see any. Don't buy a tag and you will have them at 10 yards. Hit and miss right now. Same as everywhere else. Not many left.

There are at lest two reasons there are over ONE THOUSAND leftover tags for javelina:

- not very many pigs anywhere; few and far between & hard to find
- cost of tag is higher than antelope or deer

I echo previous comment that if you buy a tag you won't see any and vice versa.

I've had them lot's of different ways and the only palatable ways my buddies and I have found is ground sausage in burros or little snack sticks like slim jims. They seem to be just fine that way. Every other way i've prepared them has been pretty rough, and I'm not one to shy away from a little gamey flavor.
The others are right though. The major freeze we had 4-5 yrs ago really hurt the populations. They are in pretty small groups but still hang around water and prickly pear. That's about the only advice I have. They used to be plentiful but it's no longer the case.
