A photo of the group of trad guys.  On the left is the son-in-law of the owner.  I am on the right.  Sonny the blunt shooter is the shortest one 3rd from the left.

Thanks again Gene for inviting me along. We had a good hunt and met some great people.

I think you invented a new form of hunting desert pigs "spelunking".

You just dont reach in and grab one of them either. They have 2 to 3 inch canines that rub together and are sharp(when they clack them together it is intimidating). One bit an ash shaft in half like it was a twig.

Looked like three arrows in that pig. Was it still alive when you pulled it out? Great job on recovery but I would worry more about snakes then fleas in that situation. That picture is one of a kind.

I really liked the picture!

As we tried to administer the cop de grace on the oringinal wounded javenlia another one would step or shift into the way. We took 3 dead javenlia out of that den when it was all said and done. Only one ran for it, and we left 3 smaller pigs in the den.

You should have seen Gene jump out of the way of the javenlia that ran for it. That pig was doing mac 1.

I still love hunting elk and deer here in Colo, but we all really look forward to going to Texas during the winter.  When it is below -0 here we can be basking in the 80+ degree sun in Texas.
As Jack might agree, you need to take a lot of arrows along.  Good times for a bowhunter get - away.

I am going to have to shoot a lot better or take a backquiver full of arrows like Sonny. Except no blunts in it.

Looks and sounds like you all had a great time. Though I am not sure about crawling in a den with wounded pigs. lol.

I had a good time hearing all of your stories the other weekend.

I get to go after some Texas javelinas in March; can't wait. I hope to have as much fun as it looks like you had, but I may stay out of caves   . I will be hunting south of Ft. Stockton; anybody else hunted that area?

[Nakohe]

I love hunting those little rascals.

Great photo.  Looks like you have the makin's for some sausage there.  We usually mix about half and half with regular ground pork to make our sausage.
