Javelina Follies

acolobowhunter · January 29, 2009, 04:20:00 PM

Just had to relate a couple of incidents from a couple weeks ago.
1. I shot a javelina, tracked him 70-80 yds to a dry creek. Found him in a hole under the bank. I crawled in as far as I could, turned on the flashlight Wow there were 7 of them in there. We finally got 3 of them out and let the rest go. I got a good dose of fleas also.

Catch and Release?
2. Sonny shot 2 arrows at running pigs, then one ran right up to him and stopped. Sonny pulls another arrow from his back quiver, loads and shoots. Pig runs away unharmed. Sonny had shot the 1 arrow from his quiver that had a rubber blunt on it.

Catch and Release? We had a real good time though!!!! Getting ready to make sausage and looking forward to next year.

Cool photos, you are nuts to crawl down the pipe with them, they can and will bite! South TX hogs and javies are covered with fleas and other bugs. I dust em with Seven before dragging out. The ones from oil country around Odessa are clean as a whistle, no bugs.

That sounds like one of my hunts only more stuff would have happened to me! You'll be talkin about that one for a long time!!! P.S. did you know that snakes like caves too?

That is just flippin cool. It is a great picture and an even better shot. Next time curl up with one of em and nibble an ear.

I never thought about snakes being in dens like this - da. I know there are lots in the area, but we have never seen them in the winter. This was in west Texas near Ft. Stockton.
Next time I am putting on a flea collar and taking some spray along as well. Also hope Sonny leaves his blunds at camp and only loads this quiver with broadheads. Ha

Never having hunted javies before, I think I would have been more than a little nervous seeing all those little pigges looking back at me with that "what the %$%^$ you looking at?" look on their face.

It is like walking into nature's version of a biking bar. :-)

Fun stuff. Thanks for sharing.
