Javelina points

Recommended Posts

Probably a simple question to a resident (and probably most non-residents :) ), but is there fall hunts for Javelina besides the youth hunts and can you get 2pts per year for this species? How many points are needed to draw the best areas? Is there a good source of information on the best units, or am I over thinking it? Thanks in advance, it's easy to find info on the deer, elk, antelope and sheep units and draws, but I haven't found much detailed info on javelina.

It's been my finding that you can do pretty well with 0 points. I think you'll at least get drawn for one of your picks.

The only fall hunts in 2016 other than the youth you mentioned are OTC tags for the mountain (low density) units.

 

The best units are the ones you are familiar with or have time to scout. Javelina are funny creatures in the way they can be here and gone, some people can find them every time they look and some people have more trouble with them than coues deer.

 

Here are last year's 2015 regs with hunt numbers.

Here is the bonus point report for the general 1-2 pass in 2015.

You can get 2 points/year.

My archery javelina hunt of choice takes 4 points to draw in the bonus pass. I really like having this tag in my pocket as it coincides with archery deer, so I buy the fall point, put in for the spring draw/point, have a hunters education point and a loyalty point to total 4 points and guarantee the draw bonus pass.

Thanks, that makes things a lot clearer. I really appreciate the help

I still would like to know why some jackwagon has like 20 points for javelina as shown in the Hunt AZ 2015 book published by Game and Fish? What the heck are they waiting for?
