KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR Mix service or HPPR Connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

The late veteran outdoor writer and one of Luke’s best friends, Bob Hood with a javelina taken a few years ago at Ranger Creek Ranch in Knox County in northern Texas. ";

On this week’s show, Luke talks about hunting javelina on Ranger Creek Ranch in Knox County Texas. javelina season runs until Feb. 25 in northern Texas and is open year around in many southern Texas counties. 

Many hunters are not aware of the large number of javelina in northern Texas around Knox County, thinking they must travel to extreme southern Texas to do their hunting.

Years ago, javelina were stocked on the huge Waggoner Ranch in Knox County and their numbers quickly increased and spilled over onto adjacent ranchland.

Luke also discusses javelina as table fare, stating that he considers the meat to taste somewhere between venison and wild hog. He absolutely loves it!
