I am going to try to post a little bit while I am driving. Voice recognition may mean that I have to go correct some things later. If I call anybody names we’ll just say that it is voice recognition.
I got down there Saturday in time to set up a few spots for hog hunting and we hunted Sunday through Thursday. I don’t know why, but my brain thought that we would be hunting Sunday night but this is better.
The first couple of days were a little rough for me. I saw a few Havelina in the evenings, but it was really windy, and they seemed reluctant to come out of cover, at least at my spot for the first couple days. I may get my days a little confused because I didn’t keep a journal. it was either on Monday or Tuesday that I had a pretty cool encounter with a large for Havelina. Actually, very large doesn’t even come close to describing him. I saw them feeding away from me so I needed to take a parallel Sendero and head them off to get the window in my favor. I must’ve had not very much corn on the Sendero because they were moving out a good clip, and I didn’t have adequate time to get myself into cover. If you’ve ever hunted there, you know that it takes some doing to get in adequate cover without impaling yourself on every prickly pair in Mesquite in the county. In any case, I came through a wash and set up behind a bush, when I saw them coming fast. I had cover as the approach, and I was just hoping that I could get a shot off at the lead Havelina. Unfortunately, it was an old wise Havelina , and as soon as his head got past the bush, he spoke to the other side and went into cover. The rest of the Havelina followed suit. I would say this Havelina was around 3 to 4 times the size of other Havelina in the group, but realistically this Havelina was at a minimum twice his size of other adult or Havelina in the group. I really don’t see a world in which this Havelina would way less than 80 pounds. I know this sounds crazy, but I would not even be surprised if he weighed 90 pounds. I have never seen another Havelina even close to this size. In any case that was the last opportunity I had him although I did see him a couple other times during the hunt. He was pretty KG, and he knew that he was being hunted, so he did not come out in the open very often.
