We were on the King Ranch. The first one, I had just hopped in the truck to pick up some other guys to head back in and I noticed several come out behind me a ways back, so I hopped out and went into th mesquite to sneak up closer. I stopped at a bush and waited for one to come by and got a 10 yard shot. He turned and ran right at me and stopped about 5 feet from me and woofed at me! I was wishing I had Rocdoc's spear at the time!!!! He ran off and fell about 20 yards. A little bit later for the second one, it was even more exciting!
By the way, it is a non-guided hunt. There's an outfitter in San Antonio that sets you up on one of 3 ranches. You have a place to camp on the ranch and he usually has a walk-in cooler to store your game (it was broke this trip). There is also water and electric so I brought my fifth wheel camper. Most of the folks camped out in tents.
Also, I'm thinking of going to a 3 blade broadhead next year (like the Woodsman). Javelina and hogs don't leave much, if any, of a blood trail.
Do you have the name of the outfitter handy?
I think it is www.trinityoutfitters.net (http://www.trinityoutfitters.net)
And now for the second one: Ronnie and I were sneaking down a creek bottom, there were several Javelina around the bend. Since Ronnie had not got one yet, he was in front. Ronnie got to where he could see them over a little rise at the inside of the creek bend and took a shot and missed. Well, all I saw was a bunch heading up the other bank and so I let loose with my Javelina call and at least 6 of them came charging back! And Ronnie didn't have his bow reloaded yet! They stopped within 10 yards and the lead one was quartering to me (I had moved a couple of steps to the side by then) So I took a shot, but it hit a little back. Ronnie had an arrow ready by then and he took a shot at it. This one left a small blood trail, but we found it and I had to put another arrow in it. I feel like I saved Ronnie's life by shooting the first one that was charging in!!!!!
congrats. We went down in Jan. and got several. There were 5 of us trad guys. We just made the sausage last weekend. Made a batch of Southern Style Breakfast and a batch of German sausage. Pretty good. You have to mix in some ground pork, because they are pretty lean. :clapper:
Congrats! Looks to be a decent sized pig.
:thumbsup:
Great---I have to do a javi hunt one of these days, that looks like too much fun!
