Areas

• A ranch near La Pryor has an annual shootout for bow hunters who hunt javelina. There are several hunting ranches in the area where you may lease land. You may also go with an outfitter or guide who can direct your hunt and take care of the planning details. Most of the land in the area is privately owned, so there is very little public land.
