Another thing about javies, if you get busted or spook them with a shot don't panic. If they smell you they will probably move off a ways and then may come back out. If they hear you just hang tight for a bit, sometimes they will come back out. The first time I hunted them we were corning roads and stalking them. I busted a group and figured it was over. I walked out into the road and was thinking of my next more. Suddenly I heard crunching directly behind me and there they were. When I tried to turn to get a shot I busted them again. I moved into the brush and they came back out onto the road and fed past me. There was my first oppurtunity to miss a javie. :lol:
If you corn a road do so lightly. Scatter the corn to keep them moving and to keep them from bunching up. Also, a rabbit squealer can bring them in but have your guard up. When they come to a distress call they are looking for trouble. Any way you go about it javies are a blast to hunt.
