In the picture above, I was downwind from this javalena, and made why pretty fast to get within thirty yards. And then when I had the chance I would burst forward 5 to 7 yards to close the gap to thirty yards.

I got to within twenty yards, and the javelina turned broadside twice, but I opted to try and get a little bit closer. Luckily, I was crouched pretty low when he decided to turn around and come back toward me. All I had to hide behind was a blade of grass. He got to within fifteen yards and the wind that was in my face just stopped. It seems there was a bit of lofting going on and he got a wiff.

So he got all hackled up twice, then ladies heckles down almost all the way as he eased off into the brush on the other side of the road.  It was still a great rush and really cool that I finally got a stalk.The fourth day here. I really enjoy helping people get started and spotting for them. However, it's always great fun when they turn me.loose.

 I shot, Gary's badger from yesterday that he grazed....

And I just got through blood trailing a javie for Gary, which we recovered.

Glad you guys got thru the bad weather and got some good action.  Our truck is packed and on the launchpad. We plan to head that way bright and early in the morning ....cant wait to get after them again!

I love it when they turn me loose!

Going on the grill with the burgers tonight...

Wow what a great day.  I just put myself in position to witness something.I'll never forget.  More later...

Now both ne LTR  hunters have lost a tag!

Nice going Terry. He looks like his coat is black and white ebony. I didn't even know we had those things here. I just took a train to Laredo,and was thinking about you guys.

Alexander, we talked about you 2 days ago. Would love to have you join us again. Yeah, black and white ebony is a perfect description.

I will definitely get down there with you guys one of these years! I've been in a total funk these last four years,but that's all over now!

Did you get a new bow Terry? I thought you had a Centaur longbow?

As you can see, the sling pack is very compatible with the side quiver.
