HuntHarder

You did the right thing, Having the wind in your favor is my single most important thing I worry about when stalking deer. Their noses are phenomenal. Yes a rutted up muley will stink to high heavens. When you harvest one, you will know what I am talking about. They have a very noticeable, musky smell to them. Whether or not you did anything wrong or not, I would say, the only way you learn is to make mistakes. Sometimes, there is just nothing you can do, and other times you realize you made a crucial mistake during your stalk. Sometimes it is better to wait them out and hope they go your way, other times it is best to stalk right in on top of them. Keep the wind in your favor and judge each deer individually . There is no right or wrong answer as to whether to wait, or stalk in. Each situation dictates your action. Keep at it, and soon you will be successful.

Build a bridge!!!

I have owned 15 swaro's, and they are nice binoculars, but I still find myself using my 10x42 el's considerably more. So much, that I got rid of the 15's. The image is just not as crisp, and no where near as bright. I doubt that 15 HD's will compare to the 10 hd's. Exit pupil is smaller = less light. I am curious to look thru them, but not expecting a dramatic change from standard 15's. Let me know what you think when they come in. I might consider changing my mind and buying another pair of 15's.

Am I wrong in that?: you are able to bait, just so long as it is removed 2 weeks prior to the hunt start?

Those donkeys are something else!! If they ever open a season on them, I will buy as many tags as they would allow. So destructive!!!!!!!! to the desert. They have pushed a few of my javelina herds to different hills.

What is the heaviest javelina you have taken hog hunter?

LOL! Trophy Size..

I would have thought for sure there was an employee at cabelas on this website. I guess I shall see when I go there this weekend

I just received a coupon in the mail to use at Cabela's that says I get employee pricing, but it does not say what their discount is. Does anyone know what their discount is? I know it varies based what item it is, and who makes it, but I would love to know the basic structure. Instructions say to just take your stuff to the register and they will give you the discount, but that makes it hard to spend a specific amount of money... Thanks,

shoot it without holding onto the forearm, and see if it still comes back after shot. It should release, but not throw the pump back automatically. If it does, you can go back to sportsmans, and they will help you send your firearm back to Winchester. If it was just bought, they will pick up the shipping charge as well.

Not smart to post that you killed a Javelina with an illegal method of take....

The guy above my post is a taxidermist, I would trust him. He pointed you away from himself for a reason. Most taxidermists specialize in either big game OR birds. I really appreciate Mr. Becks' honesty in saying that there are better taxi's at birds, than himself. I know Sven has a good name in birds, and would not hesitate to throw a Mearns his way.
