Checked one off the bucket list...
« on: January 30, 2019, 12:42:06 AM »
Been wanting to pursue javalina for some time now...finally made the trip earlier this month to southern AZ.

After this trip, I don’t think it will be my last...had a great time and really enjoyed chasing these critters...a really neat little animal to observe and hunt.

Tag was good for two.
Took this nice boar and a nice little sow a few days later.

Shot was about 12 yards.

Great stuff O&U
Well done

Wouldn't mind chasing those critters myself one day.

Looks a tad cool there?

Good hunting to you all.
May the wind be your friend, and may your arrows fly true,
Most of all, may the appreciation and the gratitude of what we do keep us humble......

Ya unseasonably cold...we pushed snow most of the ways down and it snowed two inches the first day we arrived...that’s east of Tucson mind you :)
Didn’t seem to bother them through...saw quite a few

Very nice.  They are a fun hunt.  The spot and stalk aspect really makes it special.
