Two friends and I hunted javelina on the King Ranch several years ago.It was the Norias division of the ranch just north of Raymondville,Tx.We hunted during the last of Feb. and the first week of March as I recall.Primitive camped at an old cowboy bunkhouse located about 9 or 10 miles back from the highway.There were a few other hunters there as well--all camping in tents or campers.The bunkhouse itself was reserved for the guide that was there at that time taking care of the hunting concession in that area.No drinking water available but water for other uses was available.There was a walk-in cooler and a portable john available.All hunters camped in the same campground but all hunted different areas.My two friends and I actually had a 10,000 acre pasture to ourself for 5 days.Security was very tight.You had to be back in camp no later than dark each day.Shoot something close to dark and instead of searching for it you were required to report back to camp and let the guy know you had shot an animal.He would then let you go back to retrieve it.We actually had to write our names on our arrows with a permanent pen.You were only allowed to travel in a vehicle from the camping area to your hunting area and of course within your hunting area itself.Lots of huge deer that seemed almost tame-like as they received little pressure.Javelina,hogs,and vamints were eligible game.Nilgai was also huntable if you happen to run across one.I think our cost at that time was about $25 or $30 for a 4 or 5 day license and then it was $60 per day for each of us as I recall.We were allowed 2 javelinas and 4 hogs for that price I think.This hunt was actually written about in Traditional Bowhunter Magazine in the Feb. 2001 issue.I would love to go back some day but I am sure those prices are severely outdated.I am not even sure the King Ranch still does those type of hunts.It would be worth doing some research on it though.Good luck if you decide to go this route.My avatar picture under my name was actually taken on that hunt.
