I will get to the tail in a second but first there is the issue of Javalina. I sure enjoy Javalina hunting even though they smell a bit like a skunk with a bad bacteria issue. They are made for bowhunting though.
During my travels one morning I glassed up a heard of Javalina crossing a road below where I was positioned. It was rather late and warm for them to be up running around. I watched as one of the bigest in the group found his was to a juniper bushed and burried in for a days nap.
I had a little time and decided I had not seen a javi that big ever and I was going to try for a stalk. I got the wind right and closed the gap down to about five feet. I drew slow and released. He never got up. This javi was huge. Weight likely in the 60lbs area. Was pretty fun. This picture does a horrible job of showing his size.
I went to Texas again to guide some hunts and spend some time with my good friend Aram. Before the work started I had a little time to hunt for myself. I sat a few blinds with feeders and water and found a great buck I and my heart was set on him in a way.
A few pictures from the blinds
Pardon the ligthing issues. These were all taken with my phone because my big camera is to loud in the blind. I was only able to hunt whitetail but i learned a lot about mule deer during this hunt.
