A couple critters from this past weekend!
« on: February 12, 2014, 12:07:00 AM »
I went on an all trad javelina/pig hunt near Laredo, TX this past weekend. We saw tons of critters and I was able to shoot a few! This hunt was all spot 'n stalk and it was a blast!

On Friday afternoon I got my first javi! It was about a 12yd shot with about a 12yd recovery.

         

Then on Saturday afternoon I shot a nice sow hog! This was about a 10yd shot with a 12yd recovery!

         

Then on Sunday afternoon I got my second javi! This javi had a badly broken back leg so I took a shot that I normally would never take. It was about a 25-30yd shot. I spined it and it took a second arrow to finish it off.

         

I probably had 12-15 more stalks on javis/pigs in the 3 day hunt that did not materialize for one reason or another. It was a great hunt with a great bunch of guys! I can't wait till we get to go again.

It is a shame that the javies don't taste any better than they do because they are God's gift to a stalking bowhunter! I do not eat them, and will not shoot them unless I have a person to give or donate them to.

And Tony, I am blessed to live in an area with a lot of pigs which gives me the opportunity to hunt all year long!

I feel the same way about the javie. I wish they were better to eat. I shot my first one just last week. Now that I have one it will be hard to shoot another and just let it lay. Taxidermy is'nt cheap. Congrats Bisch.   :thumbsup:      :thumbsup:

No video camera. It is my string tracker mounted to the side of a light. The light is only used for the feral hogs at night. The only feral hog I shot was at 5:30 in the afternoon so I never got to use the light on this trip.
