I know that there is Javalina where I live, and I am considering hunting them if there are no hogs close by, I am in the El Paso TX area. any advice would be greatly appreceated.

They move in packs and will tear your dogs up!! Been through it in Nixon, Tx before. You don't want to mess with them at all.

May want to do a search on em. I've read several times that they will wreck a pack of dogs quick.

Considering the fact that they are a game animal, and you have a limit of how many you can kill a year I wouldn't. Plus they are hell on dogs!!!

Thank you everyone,
I'm sure glad I asked, I could have made a big mistake!!

Avoid them at all costs!  Nasty creatures and dog killers! 

And i believe a hefty fine! Them little devils will destroy a pack of dogs.

Your allowed 2 a year in Texas I think.

I would hate to run up on pack of em with my hog dogs. But at one time my dad had a pack of javalina dogs. He used loose baying hounds that could move. And keep a pack bayed up till we could get there with the 30-30. He had a walker dog named Boomer heck of dog.he got cut so bad one night he  got shredded had holes all in em. We'd pour that blue lotion on him and it would run in one cut and out another one. He survived..

I had one of the lil suckers get after me on a bow hunting trip. They bite like a dog. No good. Went and spent awhile in Ft. Stockton and a buddy's coe dog got killed by a pack of them

Good thing I saw this because I was going to hunt them as well. My friend got sum land and he saide they are everywhere. I rather not mess with them now. All my dogs are ruff so they would have gotten all beat up or worse!!

The only dog I want to put on one of those things after I first read about them is one u feed from the rear, kicks u when it barks, and removes large chunks of meat when it bites.

I know everyone has already said it but I'll be a lemming and sat too, I believe they are waaayyyyy more aggressive and they stay in packs instead of breaking. Not sure though, never jacked with them.

  Illegal to hunt with dogs. Can not use knife to kill in Texas. Guys from Bayed Solid came to Texas last year and wrote story in mag about one they killed.

ive been on them once with my dogs and now kill every one of them lil suckers I run into. if I could find a case of hand granades. I would designate them for the use of javalenas only. I had three dogs on them. killed one. barely got the bleeding stopped and saved the second one, and busted up the third so bad he couldn't move for bout three weeks. it would be unhumane in my opinion to intentionally put dogs on them.

Hunted with a buddy a while back, and this conversation got brought up. He asked why I was so quick to a bay, and why I rushed in after the catch dogs. My answer was just as simple as in south texas, if you don't beat the catch dogs to a bay, you might not get your bay dogs back. lol We ran into that a lot, dogs hit a javelin trail and only a few made it back time after time, they look and smell similar, just run in packs and very protective. Its not the one your 100lb bulldogs got in his mouth you gotta worry about, its the thirty that hear the squeeling and are coming in for backup. Stay away from them!! Luckily im in abilene now far away from them devils.
