It only takes 3 licks to get to the tootsie roll center if a tootsie pop! Just ask Mr. Owl!

What's the craziest thing you have done while out hunting?
ajohunter replied to AZ_SAWBUCK's topic in The Campfire
I just remembered about the one time we smoked a javelina out of a cave. My friend Larry and his son Perry were chasing javelinas outside of ajo up in the mountains and Larry spotted one go into a cave. Turns out the cave went in about 10 feet then made a dog leg. We couldn't talk that little bugger out to save our lives. So Larry came up with the idea to wrap some toilet paper around a ocotillo limb and light it on fire. Once he had the TP flaming away he jammed it up the cave and a few minutes later that pig came rolling out of there smoke pouting off of it! Not sure if it was from the TP or the fact that pig was in full after burner coming out of there! LOL -
We have always said buy the best you can afford. If that is Vortex, Nikon or Tasco so be it. I use Swarovski and recommend them to everyone but I don't think less of another hunter because of their equipment. As for the new 15 HD it's tempting but I'm leaning towards the 12x50 EL.

I crawled up a cave one time to retrieve a friends javelina. Thank you Jesus it was dead! I got stuck going in so my buddy grabbed my legs and pushed me further up the small cave until I had a face full of dead javelina. LOL -
LOL. OK. How about Shadow Walker?

Mainly because the State owns the wildlife off of tribal land.

Had a great time on Sunday hunting with Perry Miller who is the son of a long time family friend. Perry has been hunting since he was knee high to an Arivaca grass hopper! Sunday morning Perry, his Dad Larry, Bob and I met up and headed out looking for some wiley desert mule deer. We split up to cover more ground and had a fairly uneventful morning of glassing squirrels rabbits and quail. We finally glassed up a Doe with twin fawns which were up feeding. Larry sent a text saying he heard a bird chirping and Perry spotted another squirrel. Bob and I decided to head to a new glassing point and within minutes he spots a herd of deer up feeding. We notice a 2x2 is with a group of 6 Does. I sent the guys a text that we found a small buck if he wants it. Perry says he will take it since its his only day to hunt. We kept our eyes on the deer for the next 30 minutes until Perry and his Dad could get to our location. By the time they got to where we were at it was 0930. The buck had bedded just behing a small ridge out of our sight while the Doe he was following bedded on the top. The remaining Does fed in our direction and eventually bedded down 60 yard below us. When they got to our position we made the plan to just sit and wait the buck out until he stood up again. This seemed like a great plan until we realized we were sitting on top of the second hottest hill in the world! The hottest one is in 36B by the way! After about 4 hours in the direct sun with no shade Perry decided to just walk over there and shoot the deer where he lay! Perry circled around the small ridge the Doe was bedded on and made his way to where we thought the buck would be. Once he was over there we could see him pointing in that direction and he finally lifted his rifle and fired a shot. We looked all over for the deer in case it took off running but then 2 more shots rang out and Perry started running toward a dust cloud rising from behind the ridge. Finally a 4th shot rang out and he called us on the radio to bring the truck! The Beast is Dead! Perry hit the deer with his first shot while it was bedded from 50 yards. The buck kept trying to get up but couldn't so he fired 2 more which missed since the deer was flopping around so much and the 4th shot put it down for good from about 3 yards. After this Perry finally earned a name for his 270! We call it Cuatro, since he cant seem to fire less than 4 shots every time he kills an animal with it. It was a great day hunting with great friends and the buck was the icing on the cake!

Rutting mule deer make javelina smell pleasant! Musky and back legs usually soaked in urine.

ajohunter replied to hoghntr's topic in The Campfire
The yellow copy is the correct copy. These are the temporary license and tags they could get produced in time to sell. Word is they will get the new old version back soon.
