I'll be looking forward to your report. I've been thinking of booking this hunt. It looks tempting.

Low and foward...break that shoulder with your arrow.  They go down quick with that shot.

Have you noticed that the times you don't get nothing while hunting, are usually the most fun you've ever had.

Buddy and I went with him some few years ago and had a great time. No kills but I could spend months on that ranch exploring. Great time.

I leave the 14th of March to hunt in Siera Blanca with Kent. Should be big time fun.

My first trip; but going with a group that has been two or three straight years (United Bowhunters of Missouri). All say this is a great hunt and the ranch is beautiful and full of game. Javelina for sure, coyotes, rabbits, bobcats, mt. lions, sheep,, ect...

Matter of fact, I need to make up some more arrows for this trip.  Have fun and let us know how it goes.

I've hunted that west Texas lease with Kent a couple times.  It's a great piece of country with a lot of javelina running around.

Best advice is to listen to Kent--he'll never put you in a place where there aren't "pigs."  If you're into walking, spot and stalking, see if Kent will take you up to glass the creek beds above "The Red Hills" one or two mornings.

Don't rule out hunting over lunch--midday.  Most of the guys come in after the morning hunt and at some of the feeders and water tanks the javelina get wise to this.

Best advice, however, is when you get the opportunity for a shot get close and nail that spot midway up the body and right behind the collar--tight to the collar.  If you don't (to quote a friend of mine), you'll swear javelinas are filled with sand not blood.
