Great hunt and story telling.  I have lost a deer to coyotes before, it is truly a bummer.  Glad you were able to give "Faith" a little mojo.

Thanks for sharing!

I learned a few things on this hunt.  One of those is that you don't need heavy gear for javies. Even with draw wt in the lower 40's, I personally would go with the widest 3 or 4 blade that shot well out of my setup. More blood for tracking in that thick stuff.  Another lesson is that prickly pear cactus are the most evil plant on the planet. I sure am glad that the javies like to eat them. Also, think before you hunt. I was worried so much about pushing the hogs away from my feeders that I didn't explore my options. I could have followed those hog trails. I bet those hogs were moving in the openings in cover and going to the water holes during the day. Lastly, if you are going to hunt over feeders, it's probably not a good idea to put corn on the roads too much for the javies. Probably keeps the hogs from getting to the feeders, or at least delays them.

Good shooting Patrick    Sounds like you had a lot of action in 2 1/2 days of hunting,thanks for sharing.  

Outstanding and thanks for sharing that with us.

Sounds like a good time Pat.  Thanks for sharing.  How is everything going for you out in OK?

Wow Pat, Great going. How are you doing down in OK. Boy we got alot of snow up here in New Jersey

Awesome Pat!  Thanks for sharing!

Great job Pat, can't wait for April to get here...

All I know is that I'm not a squirrel in the swamps getting hunting by Pat.  I heard he likes to tenderize his meat.        

lol

Just thought I would bump this to the top since I am going back to the ranch in March with a few tradgangers and they were interested in seeing some pics.

I know this is from last year...but all Hope and Faith hunts are suppose to be posted on the designated thread so they will all be together.

 

Sorry, Terry
