Good to see people are still looking! I was getting worried without someone else posting on the topic in over a week

Jim my little animated doohikie in my signature is better than yours

Here is a picture of my first and only pig to date. All of you guys make it sound like javelina hunting is easy Also on this day my dad was able to harvest yet another pig and this was our first successful pig trip together after 7 years of trying

Here is another one for you to climb Scottyboy. This is a picture of Mount Rainer. Taken through one of the oldest crappiest spotting scopes I have ever seen Just checking to make sure to see if anybody is still looking at the pics haven't seen any post in a while

I was right at 40 yards from them. Right in bow range

Alright here is a short clip of 3 of the tom's. If you watch one of the turkeys as it goes behind one of the small pines he starts to strut. Hope you guys enjoy it.

HAHA Jim And Bret both got burned by Pops

Naaah...there aint no pigs or kitties anywhere near where you guys killed.........or DEER for that matter! Your right I don't know what I was thinking

Here is a picture of what we thought was the beginning of the northern lights. This was the darkest I saw it all summer. I guess the few hours of sleep I got each night were during the darkest parts

Nice sheds. That one with the split g4 is sweet. Can't imagine what he will look like this year.

I seem to recall that spot. I believe that my dad and I killed our deer this year about 600 yards away from where that pig and lion were taken

Look at all the colors Just kick back and take it easy.

Yeah I know what you mean about finding big bucks scouting and not finding them on the hunt. It is a really good idea to scout the less pressured areas now because more bucks may move into there during the season.

Man that is off a 125 class typical!!! I would give anything to see that buck alive.

I have been in areas that I have seen buck to do ratios of 1:3 and some that are 1:8. I think it is all about the food/water in the area. Also if you were seeing that many fawns I think that a good portion are bucks. And there are always the bucks we never see. I would say most areas have a buck to doe ratio around 1:6 or so.

LMAO!!! That is classic. HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!!!

Great job Amanda! Gets me excited for this next season. Both archery and hopefully rifle.

We had 2 camps at our lodge. There was the main lodge and the "tent camp" lodge only the tent camp lodge had a bunch of custom made cabins made by yours truly Well in the outhouse that was standing there this sign was in it. The tent camp lodge was actually an old german gold miners camp that was made after WWII.

You read me like a book. You sneaky son of a gun

You are not quite half way there that was post number 499. I thought you could count better than me but I guess I was wrong

That would be hilarious to actually see happen. Where do you find this stuff Jim?

I do not think so. You cant tell from the picture but the skull does not have the same bridge as a javelina. Also the teeth in it are alot different than any javelina I have ever seen but there are some weird things out there. But the gap on the roof of the mouth is almost twice as wide as any javelina I have seen. Could possibly be a javelina but I am 99.9% sure it is a domesticated or feral hog skull.

My thoughts exactly on the pig........How far off the road was that skull Christian? I have found where locals have dumped butchered carcasses of goats and pigs before and even dogs and horses in that unit because of the proximity to towns. Looks like you've had a good start to scouting, best of luck! JIM> I know what you mean about the skull being busted up. It looks like someone shot it in the head possibly? The only thing is that I did find it around 1/2 mile from the nearest road. Unless a coyote or something picked the skull up and carried it up there. Not sure but I did find a bunch of tracks on a ridge nearby to where I found the skull so there are some up there I think. I also found 3 elk skulls that had the antlers sawed off.

I should have known that. Maybe that is why I didn't to good in high school in my english classes

Great find. You still sieze to amaze me with all of these finds.
