Try adopting a squadron (a group of peccary), and giving them some regular supplemental food. They're very docile, passive, and almost apologetic about taking food. Try helping, instead of hurting.
I got 20B and buddy 20C. I got the OTC Deer tag ALSO. Going bowhunting..first time for Javelina ever. Camping out and hunting for 4 days. Been studying and prepping but...total newbies lol.
@@azgamefinders Ok, will do. Thank you for the great info. Also...can we just...pitch our tipi tent out there somewhere...park the car...on a road and then, hike in with our gear etc? sorry were newbies lol...
@@kee7678 The vehicle is one of your greatest scouting tools at the beginning. You can camp anywhere with your valid hunting license. But consider driving more at the beginning of the hunt and look for tracks. At least during midday. For that reason my advice is always camp next to your vehicle at a crossroads where you can use the vehicle to drive to different parts of the unit.
Finding them is the hardest part. Cover alot of country with glass and you should be okay. It took me a few seasons of doing the weekend warrior thing to get one. My friends who take the whole week off to hunt usually tag out. Best of luck!
@@azgamefinders thanks ill be takin the week off for it lol gotta up my chances so I can bring home a pig or my wife will be questioning all the credit cards 😅
I checked my camera in a desert unit and I got thousands of pics(mule deer, fox, even badger, Bobcat, ringtail). I have OTC for pig and none at all lol. With all that game you would think javelina would be there as well. They are hard to find to me.
My 10 YO daughter drew her first hunt. Youth Javelina 33, 37 A+B. I haven't hunted Javelina in over 20 years. She going to have very limited time due to school, horeses and 4H. Any help on general area would be appreciated. I know hunting spots are coveted my most, I thought maybe a little less for Javelina.
The Over The Counter tag units are the worst. The open desert units and some midrange units are probably the best. However, they have a super small home-range are spread out even in the better units. It's very difficult to find them sometimes and that's why very few outfitters offer guided hunts. Personally, I use my vehicle to look for tracks. Sometimes it takes a few days to find fresh sign but they are probably living in close proximity to the tracks for an extended period of time. So hit the spotting points and walk the washes within a mile of the fresh sign. You usually find one or two groups that way. It's similar to elk hunting in that you must make shot opportunities count because they will probably be few and far between. A few units to look at would be 20C, 20B, 19A, 32, 37 A or B. It's like most other hunting - when you look for deer you find javelina. When you try finding the javelina all you see are deer.
There’s a unit otc 39 general hunt for javelina that goes from July 31st to December 31st have you ever looked into that? I’m trying to get out but haven’t seen any yet
I am taking my daughter there to archery hunt for javelina. We have plenty days to hunt. I just can't tell which place to start. Going for thanksgiving Otc. Any tips
Sounds like a fun time. My advice is to get off the beaten path in a four wheel drive (or on ATV's). Drive the worst roads you vehicle will traverse. Some people like to use the spotting scopes. We have more luck walking the edges of remote washes. In fact we do "javelina drives" like the old fashioned deer drive. When you find a road crossing wash after wash after wash...drop a hunter at each wash to walk down and try to locate javelina. Even if you bump them they are like rabbits and stick around that area. This is a desert tactic. If you're hunting the high country focus on the lower elevations within your units. They only need water every few days but tend to stay located in the same general location for weeks if not months. When you locate javelina sign focus on that immediate area for days.
Move to Unit 5B North. I spent lots of time in Unit 6A this year and have yet to see a javelina. Try that high desert county at the northern end of the units east of 6A. Good luck!
@@albertosandoval5999 It depends on your tag. I hunt the spring rifle season. If you still have questions I would just contact Fish and Game and have your tag handy if necessary.
Hi I belong to your pay channel not very computer savvy, My 10 year old nephew drew a Havelina tag for October for unit 37 a and B and I wonder do you have any insight Were I might start looking now, not sure how to get to my pay chanel
Hi Joseph, yes about the javelina spots. Please text or call me at (480) 684-4926. Also do have OnX Maps on your phone? It's a great tool for sharing location data. Otherwise, I will create maps for you. Best regards, Jason
I live in 34A. Fun thing to do in February. Hunt the morning and golf in the afternoon.
Yes, we have family friends from Idaho that come because it's like spring break for them.

That was a good choice of unit. Both are still open for mule deer. Seek out those areas with small scattered chunks of private land down low.

@@azgamefinders THANK YOU! Great info sir!
Have was your trip?? I'm new at otc tag... I'm interested.. any tips?? Thanks
Going on my first javelina hunt this Feb. Was out today with my buddy and heard , saw signs of them. 35A is my unit
Congrats and good luck. They usually hang around the same areas for extended periods. That's a cool unit.
I just put in for a left over tag in 34A. Good luck!
Nice video bro you got me hyped up for my 16a HAM hunt tomorrow !! all love from AZ !!
Best of luck. I have a rifle tag later in the month near Phoenix.
Cool vid great Info Drew my first javalina tag for 37a ill be going archery..I'm excited to most likely go get nothing 🤣🤣

@@zealousoutdoors yes I do use onx that would be appreciated
@@markcortez7324 Maybe he sent the pin directly to Bubba Bass. Zealous Outdoors did not respond when I provided my number. Good luck.
@@BubbaBass did you get anything? We just spotted a heard of 6

Totally agree with you. People ask me to scout them for their hunts. But they can be a difficult species to locate so I stick to scouting deer.
Do you think you could kill one by hand? I ask as I play age of empires
My 10 YO daughter drew her first hunt. Youth Javelina 33, 37 A+B. I haven't hunted Javelina in over 20 years. She going to have very limited time due to school, horeses and 4H.

Try just south of Coolidge. I hope she gets one. Good luck!
What are the most productive units in Arizona for Javalina?

Bummer!
