Just checked my game cam at our ranch in Burnet county and for the last 3 nights my corn has been murdered by a pack of a dozen javelinas that appeared out of thin air!
We have never had hogs or javelinas in the 3 years we have been there, not one sighting or picture. Our ranch has a 5 strand fence all around so I don't see how they got in. None of the neighboring ranches have ever seen them either so it doesn't make sense.
So my question is how do I exterminate this problem before it explodes and we are overran by the nasty little creatures? Spotlight at night? Traps?

Sorry................they are a game animal. You are legally allowed 2 per season in Tx. Hunting them at night illegal, exterminating illegal. Your county may not even offer a season for them, you will need to check. You may be stuck like Chuck. Best of luck though

Legally, they are a game animal, cannot be hunted at night, and have a limit of two per year.
Maybe corn the roads during the day with some buddies, two each.

Can you post some pics? By the way 5 strand fencing will not keep nothing in or out.

Are you certain they are not pigs? I can't imagine javelina in Burnet County. Not calling you a liar, i just have never heard of them being there. I do know there are a lot of pigs there though, have shot a number of them myself. Where in Burnet county are you talking about?

Definately javelina bwk, will post pics later. Our ranch is between Marble falls and Round Mountain. So you mean to tell me I can't do anything to the nasty little corn theives??? Wow that sucks! They are running the deer off from the corn every night now, I have pictures showing it happening. I guess I need to call the gw and see what he says.

I also wouldn't think a 5 stand barbed wire fence would keep out hogs or javelina. Anyway, you can build hog proof fences around your feeders.

Sadly I honestly believe someone transported these to our ranch. The owner has family that comes out and releases quail/pheasants to hunt and they are very shady. We think they have poached deer at night with spotlights, one of them sure was joking about it last year.
Well a couple months ago one of them was "joking" about bringing some hogs out and releasing them to try and populate the ranch for "year round fun". I wouldn't put it past them to do something like this.

5 strand fence will do nothing...hogs and havys even reek havok on hog fencing and high fence places...something like an armidillo or a wash out will start a hole then its game over...ive never trapped any havys but im sure it could be done..if you cant kill them there call tpwd and see if you or they can trap and relocate them

He might be talking field fencing or no climb, but stranded wire will do nothing to stop pigs.

Just got off the phone with the local GW, extremely nice guy. He didnt know what to say about it, said this is the first report of them he has ever had here and wanted me to send pics so he could make sure it wasnt hogs.
He is going to research what can be done in this case and let me know. I will keep the updates in this thread, hopefully ending with kill shots lol.
All my buddies are telling me im an idiot for contacting the GW and I should of just shot em and been done with it, but im not trying to get my butt in a sling over some Javelina.

Javis will go under hog or cattle panels if they can. May look like a coon has been going through, but they get in the pens by going under. Need to put large rocks in those places. I've snared a couple that were doing that when I thought it was coons.

Well GW just got back to me, he said sadly we cant touch them in any way. Cant be hunted or trapped.
He wants me to write a letter to the headquarters and include the pictures. He says he is pretty sure that we will get a Javelina season started in Burnet county, would be cool to be the reason why it got started.
Two of our neighboring counties already have it, LLano and Blanco county. It sucks because we are about a quartermile from the Blanco county line.

Look on the bright side. Some hunters pay to shoot javelinas.
