Best place is South Texas. There is very little public land in Texas, so best bet is a private ranch. They vary greatly in price, running from about $100 per day, up to $300 or $400 per day. The place we hunt is $100 per day with a 2 day minimum. They only run 3 hunts per year, A week or 10 days in Jan,Feb, and Mar. They are trad archers themselves though they do have a lot of compounders hunt with them. The ranch is about 6000 acres and is free range so it's not a gimmee hunt. It is primitive camping though they do have hot showers and flush toilets. Texas offers a 5 day license that will allow you to hunt exotics and javvies for $48.
We hunt javelina during the day and pigs at night. The javvies are a blast to spot and stalk or you can set up an ambush. We corn the senderos and set up in the brush, and when the javvies come out to the road we do a stalk. For the pigs we hunt out of a tripod at night. Some of the spots have lights set up or you can use a bow mounted light (yeah, I have a light mounted on my long bow. Javvies cannot be hunted at night.
My wife and I along with some buddies from down in NC go every year and have been doing so for the last 15 years. Of those 15 years 9 or 10 of them have been with these guys.
