Guys,
www.burtonenterprises.com will get you to the website. The hunt was from a ground blind. I was wanting a spot and stalk hunt, but after seeing the country, I could tell that it would be really tough to luck into javies by that method; the desert flora is dense, and the country fairly flat, so hunting from a blind made more sense. I hunted the first evening at the ranch, and saw javies but had no shot; they stayed about 40 yards out, even though the wind was perfect. The next morning, I snuck into the blind well before daylight, and heard javies all around me. It was pretty cool; they were fighting with each other, really raising cain, and I had a great time listening to them until I could start to make them out in the early light. I had several opportunities, but waited for perfect shots, which came. Javelina really grunt when they get hit. One was a pass through and he only went about 50 yards; the other buried the arrow to the fletch, and I paced off 38 steps from hit to pig down. By the way, I had read that they don't leave much of a blood trail; I can confirm that.
If you want a fun early spring hunt, I recommend trying a javelina hunt.
And yes, Dave, they are now at the taxidermist.
