[Hunter Wold]

This is in relation to my wanting a seperate forum for hunting etc. for NM.
Other states that are popular should also have them..


Anyone here ever hunt for them thar HOgs..?
and if so, are they as good eating as the ones in Arkansas
Also what areas are good to hunt for them...

I wasn't able to go javelina hunting this year, but would like to hunt these critters..

Hunter wold,
Happy trails,

There use to be a pretty good population in the lincoln. When I was younger we would run into different herds of them all the time. Once you found areas were they rooted it was not that hard to locate them. They were very spooky though. I don't get up there like I use too. So I don't know if they are still around. They were all from local area escaped hogs.

I may be willing to give you a starting point if you are willing to hike. Trough pm of course.

I know a guy from Roswell that hunts hogs along the Pecos river bottoms, he uses curs with a pit bull catch dog and does quite well.

HW - when we were on the ranch in CA, we had quite a problem with them. They would tear up the vineyards - both grape and olive and always knew when we planted oats. They really are natures rototillers. We would thin them out every so often, the workers on the ranch loved every inch of them, literally If you got one that wasn't really old and smelly (oooohhh....really rank smelling) they tasted great. We had hocks smoked, made sausage, and ham steaks. It really was good. Here's a few pics of them from the ranch. We always tried to thin out the boars.

We have allot of wild hogs here. Fair game they are too
I was meant to go hunting them before my friend got in a wreck, havent tried to go again since. I would love to.

I am looking for a place to hunt hogs in New,Mexico.At the present time I drive into east Texas to hunt them.I live in New Mexico hunting them in my home state would make it easy for me.Any farmers out there with a wild hog problem,I will be happy to help thin them out.

There is a pretty big population around the Roswell area. The Sacramento Mountains, Cloudcroft/Mayhill area also has a pretty big population.
Milan, hmmmmmm. Spent about 15 years wandering the Zunis and Mt Taylor and never saw one. P.M me and I can give you a name (don't have his number) of a guy in Grants that would know for sure.

My property has wild hogs. Had 11 trapped a few months ago. I can't stand them because they can attach and they dig up your property. I've seen them grazing next to my cattle. I have the solid black looking wild hogs.
