Heat

Shots fired, LOL! That sounds an excellent plan Amanda! Thanks for doing this for us.

My preference would be no zipper, no arm lettering and #3 on the front. I know that cost might be prohibitive but please make it polyester fleece, no cotton! I like that green and black!

Spent 3 days in the desert looking for deer and javelina. My title of Arizona's Undisputed Worst Archery Javelina Hunter is still intact. Did not even see one this year. Pretty much just took my bow for a walk. Did not see any game. Feed was everywhere. Looked like the deer were really spread out and the pigs were hanging in the deep cuts on the flats and not on the hills which makes glassing very hard. Only had one morning to hunt after the fresh rains to cut fresh sign of a herd and did not accomplish that. Saw a good amount of sign that was from a week to a day or so old, but nothing within the last 12-24 hours. Time to reconsider where I have been hunting lately. I think I need to go back to where I've had success finding them and getting shots in the past. Might need to recruit a new partner or two for that. I like hunting pigs with my cousin but he lives about 15 minutes away from where he can hunt them, so its hard to break the pattern and quit hunting where its so convenient. Oh well, at least I didn't wound one and not recover it this time like I have done a few times in the past. The habitat around me is generally not considered javelina country and its at least a 2-3 hour drive to get to some. With a couple of busy weekends ahead my javelina hunting for 2019 is probably over.

Great job man!

Looks like javi poop to me! Top one for sure. Second one has a bit of hair so I am second guessing, but that would be my first reaction. Javelina poop is like a dog poop but green, and turns chalky white as it ages.

I agree with everything Stanley wrote except one thing. For the Love of God why do people call an animal with a pig like snout, hoofs, no incisors and giant canines rodents? There's a classification system in biology called Taxonomy. Rodents are squirrels, mice, beavers etc. A javelina is in no way, shape, or form a rodent! It is indeed most closely related to, yes, swine. Its not a swine, but similar. Maybe you are being funny trying to say varmint or something like Yosemite Sam would in a cartoon but it's wrong and a huge pet peeve. Rant over!

I live in Yuma and have a tag for the western units. 39, 40, 41, 42, etc. This last weekend I was hunting near Surprise in 42. I have hunted in 37B a fair amount in the past. For the record I have probably had more than a dozen tags, have shot a few quivers full of arrows, and have hit 3 and not recovered any over about 30 years of trying! I suck! Most years I can at least scare some up walking or even glass them up, make an awesome stalk, then miss or make a poor shot at like 10 yards. This year was tough. Here's a list of things I know I can do better: 1. Hunt better habitat. Needle in a haystack, enough said. 2. Actually go scouting. I never scout for javelina. Heck I don't even put in anymore, got lazy buying OTC tags. 3. Spend more time watching javelina, learning their habits. (relative to #2). This will also help me not have such "javi feever", LOL! For some reason I lose my mind around these things. 4. Become a better archer. 5. Give myself more time. The last 5 or 6 years have only been a weekend hunt per season or maybe a 3 day weekend. I seem to do better when I give myself at least 5-7 days in the field. 10 is even better. Whenever I have committed myself to an entire season, I have been successful.

Nice buck man!

Great Job DUG!

Congratulations!

Prayers up!

Right on!

Well done! Congratulations on your ram!

Nice bucks! Even better that you have your family participating. Good stuff!

Hey Brian, I am heading back to Puerto Penasco for another 1MISSION trip in a few weeks. Going fishing again too, 1/2 day on pangas. Not a darn thing wrong with that as long as the boat works and they keep you on fish. The trip I did last year was fine in that regard. Those triggers are really good eating, especially fried up! Fun to catch on light rigs. Making me hungry just thinking about it! I will try to get the names of the pangas we will be using. I think most of the fishing is that kind of thing but there are more options like Trphyhntr suggests. I think most of the gringos that really like to fish bring their own boats, so the options seem to be limited for great tourist sportfishing. Overfishing could be an issue too, but just a hunch. Good Luck and keep us posted on what you come up with. Nick

Cool challenge. I'm watching. If I was betting my money would be on you.

We have one to sell but it's a LH bow. Its a PSE from about 3 seasons ago that has probably only had a few dozen arrows total through it. Huge draw weight and draw length adjustability.

Way to go man, that is a good ram! Congratulations on your once in a lifetime desert bighorn sheep!

Did any of our regulars draw a tag?

Nice work! Congratulations on your success!

Way to go! Saw this on Bowsite; good stuff. Bucket list hunt for me someday too. Thanks for sharing.

Danner has a site wide sale going on today. 25% off most items, some closeouts marked down much more. Kuiu has select items up to 50% off. First Lite also as mentioned has some closeouts. I have an LL Bean code for 20% off clothing and outer ware. Eddie Bauer is doing 50% off everything. I love their Guide Pro and Horizon Guide 5 pocket pants.

Congrats on your Kaibab Bison!

Our Son graduated from Air Force BMT this morning. We are very proud of this Airman!
