West Texas Javelina

[houndsandlongbows]

Does anyone know any ranchers in West Texas that offer reasonable prices for trespass fee to hunt Javelina? Looking for a DIY hunt..

[David Hill]

The Texas Shoot-Out is held every year in February just outside of Uvalde TX. The cost is $250 for a 5 day hunt. This is a DYI hunt. They offer spots for primitive camping as well as spots for RVs with generators. You should be able to google it and get the hunt dates and anymore info needed. I hope this helps.

Nate, "reasonable prices" and "Texas hunting" are phrases which no longer co exist here in Texas.  One suggestion is to determine several towns near the areas you would like to hunt.  Go on line to the local Chamber of Commerce website.  Many of these sites have hunting lease tabs on the Chamber website.  You can get names of landowners who lease their hunting rights either yearly or day leases as well as their phone numbers and email addresses.  Good luck.

Try the Porter Ranch (Lane Porter).  They are about 40 miles out of Ft. Stockton.  I bow hunted javelina for 15 years there.

Texas the only state you would entertain?  You can hunt public land west of Tx.

You might check with Lane Porter outside of Ft. Stockton.  His father owned the ranch, until he passed away a few years ago.  Lane now runs the ranch.  They charged us a very min. fee for bowhunting javelina.  I know the price has gone us some, but still quite a bit cheaper than others.  They have a hunting camp with:  Bathrooms, showers, bunk buildings (some need work), but might have been improved since I was there, kitchen/dining area.  All cooking supplies were there, only need to bring food, paper plates, etc.  They also had fridge and freezers.  There was a shed for skinning animals.  This is a working ranch with cattle and sheep and hunting as a side offer.  Many rifle hunters hunt white tail and mule deer there as well, but he would schedule bow hunters outside of those times.  I know he would rather have a group rather than just 1 or 2, as that would make it worth his time to get the camp ready.
You might look him up and give a call.  I bow hunted javelina there for 15 years.
