I have a NM javelina tag to fill, have no idea what I'm doing. I've called them in coyote hunting, had them eat the cactus in my garden and see them running across the roads but have no idea how to hunt them. I got an early start this morning and glasses a couple of valleys with stock ponds in them. I usually call them in thicker cover so headed for thicker cover where I'd seen them along the road.
I found lots of tracks but none with javelina in them. The first stand I called with FP Javelina Demise. Boom here comes a coyote and just stands there, well I can't pass up a dumb coyote thAt doesn't know it's Mar and prey sounds shouldn't be they hot sound for coyotes, he paid the price for being out of the know. The Fur isn't pretty, the 85gr NBT is a little overkill but worked.
On to the next spot again lots of javelina tracks and again another coyote that hasn't read the coyote manual and stands there looking at the caller. He died, this is staring to turn into coyote hunt.
The next spot everyone got smart and stayed away.
Stand four down in the river bottom, really thick, lots of javelina tracks and here comes coyote number three he died also and I kept on playing Javelina Demise and here .come a big old mule deer and he stood the for the rest of the stand,. staring at the caller and wiggling it's ears until I stood up to look at the coyote.
Total for four javelina stands, all with Javelina Demise.
Javelina-0
Coyotes-3 lg males
One curious mule deer
One tired hunter, the bunk in the van is going to feel good.
Last night I was going through some.gear and found a little FP Patriot stashed away, I don't remember buying it or trading for it but the last couple of years have been a little strange. I took it today knowing I was going to be doing some long walks, the.call is light and small. It is actually a pretty decent caller. I think it was one of those too good to refuse deals and had just given away a JS caller and wanted another inexpensive caller to play with. Interesting that ALL.of the inexpensive callers I've taken out from a JS Attractor to this Patriot have called in coyotes as well as my expense e.callers, go figure.
