Do you guys carry a spotting scope when hunting javalina? I’m taking my daughter on her first hunt for the little critters this week. I’ve only run into them bow hunting and have never just sat and glassed for them. I’m thinking of leaving it home and just running my 12x50s , she’ll have tripod mounted 10s ( vipers) . I’m really nervous about even finding any so any glassing advice you have for them is appreciated. I’m pretty good at picking up deer in the desert on my binos but it makes me nervous I’ve only glassed up a heard one time. Thanks

Great, Thank you for the input.

Hi All, Im really glad to be on here after years of lurking, The wisdom of you all on this forum generally seems sincere and helpful. I really appreciate good interaction you all share and I look forward to helping others when I can. I know of few of the members on here personally and know that here are some legit deer / elk nuts on this forum, no drama or BS type of guys. I hunted AZ the past 5 years and have had some success, As a family guy with little ones and limited time ( like everyone) i get out as much as possible. This years Javalina hunt is a big deal for me as my 12 year old daughter and I will be outdoors spending time together for a few days away from it all. Maybe even ( if were lucky ) locate and harvest her first animal.

Thanks guys , Cesspool , thats funny. well be over in 20C.
