Javalinas moving deer off

Javalinas moving deer off - 12/14/15 03:14 PM

Last few times out the javalinas have been moving my deer off the feeder. How can you make them find greener pastures? Without giving them a bullet. Guess put up a feeder pens.

Feed pens is the only thing I can think of. We go through cycles with them. See a bunch shoot a few they leave, but eventually come back. We have shot 3 so far this year, going to see how good they are put through a jerky gun.

They aren't bad eating, the skinning is the worst part.

Heres what you do... put up some no Javi allowed signs all over your feed area... you may want to put a picture of them with an X on it since they don't speak English

Feed pen. I shot a doe next to a Javi last week so they weren't too bothered by them.

Ive shot hogs standing next to deer and deer standing next to hogs, same with javi, but ive also have the deer hi-tail it when either showed up more often than not.

Hog panel around the feeders is only way I know of

If just one Jav shows the deer hang around. But when the herd (8 -15) jav's show up the deer move off

They are pretty dumb rodents. you can shoot one and they will keep coming back...I have shot a whole family before, back before the new limit of course wink

Kick a pig! I saw a video awhile back, where the guy walked up and kicked one at his feeder! Funny crap

Large feed pen will solve your problem.

never had to deal with javis but prolly would use better panel like 2x2 square spacings.. I bet juvenile javis could fit through cattle panel for a good while

Hog panels work fine.
