Great hunt and story telling.  I have lost a deer to coyotes before, it is truly a bummer.  Glad you were able to give "Faith" a little mojo.

Thanks for sharing!

I learned a few things on this hunt.  One of those is that you don't need heavy gear for javies. Even with draw wt in the lower 40's, I personally would go with the widest 3 or 4 blade that shot well out of my setup. More blood for tracking in that thick stuff.  Another lesson is that prickly pear cactus are the most evil plant on the planet. I sure am glad that the javies like to eat them. Also, think before you hunt. I was worried so much about pushing the hogs away from my feeders that I didn't explore my options. I could have followed those hog trails. I bet those hogs were moving in the openings in cover and going to the water holes during the day. Lastly, if you are going to hunt over feeders, it's probably not a good idea to put corn on the roads too much for the javies. Probably keeps the hogs from getting to the feeders, or at least delays them.

All I know is that I'm not a squirrel in the swamps getting hunting by Pat.  I heard he likes to tenderize his meat.     :laughing:    :deadhorse:

Just thought I would bump this to the top since I am going back to the ranch in March with a few tradgangers and they were interested in seeing some pics.
