It's a good thing those things are only 50 #, if they were any bigger you'd never be able to kill them. Those suckers are tough. BUT man are they FUN to hunt....

Thanks for the great write-up! I killed my first deer with one of Kent's longbows. I still have it, but I usually end up using the shorter Kanatis. It's still a great shooting old bow though.

The Hermit stand was my favorite stand last March.
Many, many Javelina opportunities at this stand. I even chased a couple down around the front ridge one evening. Shot right over his back while he trotted by... Fun and more fun...
Did Kent take you up to the "shaft" dump?

John3, The shaft dump was where my brother was sitting. Some javis were denning in one of the old mine shafts. It was in the rocks, just to the north of the mines that we cornered the one in a den and got it with the group effort. Kent could not figure out where the ones that had been at the Hermit stand had gone. Never saw a single one there all week. Maybe they were denned up having babies? We never found the numbers they had in the past and we did do a lot of hiking and looking.

Great story and great pics! Javi hunting is great fun for any who haven't tried it yet. I will say that the potential for running into "illegals" is a real possibility when hunting them. When down in TX we always have a cell phone with us and have the Border Patrol on speed dial too!

kent has a good spot down there my favorite spot was the "horse feeder" spot at the base of the mountain, I shot two javies within 20 seconds on the first afternoon hunt.
