A couple critters from this past weekend!

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!

great hunting and shooting

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.

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.
