NM Javalina Hunt

NMhuntnutt · Feb 16, 2004

Welp,I went down to Lordsburg last weekend and had a blast . We went to thr Rafter JL ranch and enjoyed a heck of a great time with the owner . He runs some 300+ cattle and it was calving season , so we went around his place shooting coyotes . I got a new .17 HMR and it flat out smokes coyotes ! After an afternoon of coyote huntin we headed back to the ranch house and at one of he windmills we found the javalina out , I picked the biggest one and let he air out at 35 yards , got one with real good hair . I had to buy a disposable camera as I forgot my digital but will get my picks this week and have Vinihunt post . Anyhow had a blast and will definitly hunt em again ....Talk at later....NMhuntnutt...thanks for all the help CRAZYBOUTCOUES AND VINI

Congratulations! I don't know how others feel about Javelina in NM but I personaly feel that the tags should be over the counter again. The populations are going through the roof. I applied for a Javelina tag this year, for the SW part of NM and DID NOT draw a tag. I could not believe it. According to last years proclomation, the number of tags far exceeded the number of applicants in last years hunts. And the cost is crazy. $49??? When you can hunt an Antelope for $10 less than a stinky ol pig something is wrong. What do you all think?? Jeff

I agree with you Jeff. I remember when we used to have Javelina contest every year. It cost 20.00. You still had to put in for it but it was garunteed. I personally will never spent 50.00 for a pig. They are fun for a kid though. Just what to do with the meat.
