Mr September

Are those weights dressed or live weight?

Very interesting

Very cool

Looks challenging

Yes very good site. I was just hoping to find something more current on population declines and fluctuations. Trapping ban effect on Javelina etc...

I've read that

How much are the Rugers where you are? Up here I can get one for $750. Buds guns has the Kimbers for $882. For the $130 difference I think I am going to end up with a Kimber at some point with the night sights. That is a good deal. I would go that way too.

Does Parvo kill them a lot?

Good luck

Since retiring in 1999 after seventeen years as an independent contractor with a contract to publish SCI's magazine, record books, newspapers and other printed material, I've written or ghost-written memoirs for nearly two dozen international big game hunters. These are limited edition, high-quality hard-cover books of 300 or more pages with about the same number of photos covering their hunting in twenty to thirty countries on six continents. Publishers have included Safari Press, Trophy Room Books and SCI. I've also written my own memoirs and a large book on the history of Safari Club International and published a compendium of articles about Greer and its early residents. I just finished the memoirs of a guy in California and am about half way through a book for a fellow in West Virginia. My clients have included eight Weatherby Award recipients, four hunting outfitters in Australia, Canada and Namibia, two of the world's best-known mountain game hunters, and four guys who may eventually receive the "Weatherby". All of the interviews were done in their trophy rooms, which was an experience by itself. A list of my books (it needs to be updated) appears with my biography on Wikipedia.com. Please note, I am NOT the Bill Quimby who has a business that sells toll-free phone numbers. Bill Quimby Very cool! Who was the Namibia subject?

I've read that. Looking for more of an actual book. More research. Always want knowledge.

congrats!

Man that sure contrasts your above post. Why the change do you think?

That sounds pretty rough Bill. What kind of book?

We love them!

No knowledge here

What glass are you using? Just one day?

How much are the Rugers where you are? Up here I can get one for $750.

Do you know of more? If so who, and where can I get them? Anything more modern?

Wasn't he one of Gerald's mentors?

Quite frankly, I haven't read Gerry's book in so many years I can't begin to count them. lf he discussed the origin of the name "javelina" in his book, I forgot about it and I apologize for not giving him credit. It was published long before the garbage about collared peccaries being descended from rodents or named for the long sharp teeth on young peccaries started making the rounds. What happened, was a light bulb went off when I hunted red stag and wild boar on a friend's estate in Spain's Toledo Mountains in 1984, and the farm worker assigned to help me started talking about "jabalis" when we found where a group of boars had been rooting. I was pleased to see Gerry again last year at the funeral of a mutual friend. He along with Tice Supplee are THE undisputed experts on the javelina in Arizona. Bill Quimby Agreed. Not familiar with Tice. Does he have any writing published on Javelina? Tice is the woman who early in her career worked with Gerry Day when he was studying javelinas. She advanced up the game department's chain of command until she was the game branch chief. She may have gone higher in the agency, but I retired from the newspaper about then and lost track of her. She was extremely knowledgeable about Arizona's wildlife and especially good at soothing disgruntled hunters when she testified at commission meetings. Bill Quimby Very cool. But no writing then I gather? Another good informative read on the Peccary is the Lyle K Sowls, although not nearly as much fun it has a load of science and biology. A lot of it is just quoting others research though. Gerald Day included heavily. Gerry Day and Lyle Sowls were not the only biologists who wrote about Arizona's javelina's. Before them, the agency's southern Arizona regional supervisor (whose name I've forgotten) published a nifty report complete with maps and herd sizes in specific locations. The number of javelinas he estimated to be in what now is Catalina State Park was just short of amazing. Bill Quimby Do you think the numbers in the wild places have dropped a lot in the last 15 years? I think they have especially when reading some of these older publications. If so, why do you think that is?

Can you guys do that down there? Give your tag to another hunter I mean?

Guys have been doing pretty well in the rain

Are you there yet?
