    First pig for son of bowsniper

    Congrats on your first archery pig. It took me 7 years to get a pig and that was with a rifle! I am still working on getting my first pig with a bow! Good luck on your turkey hunt in April I will be trying to get my first turkey also but it took me 5 years to get a tag. You are very lucky my friend!

    First Bow Hunt: Part 2

    Went out for the weekend and this is how it happend January 12th Got to the trailer and got organized and went to try and find a new area around 3 in the afternoon. Drive by a tank and notice alot of ducks and for only the second time in AZ I spotted wood ducks. Here is a picture of 1 of the males from around 300 yards. After a couple of photos we drive a little ways down the road and stop seeing a deer off the side of the road. Glass the ridges real fast I find pigs. It is about 4:15 at this time so I run up the hill in my tennis shoes, blue jeans and sweatshirt. Get up the hill and start my main stalk. I work for 30 minutes and end up 16 yards away from the first good size pig. I calm myself checking to see if any other pigs are closer and I count 11 pigs all together. I draw back and take the shot. My shot went high and to far back. I watch the pig run away and see him drop down and go through a wash near 500 yards away. At first I thought it was a gut shot but looking at the arrow I see hair and very very little blood just a small streak on 1 blade and on 1 fletching. I mark my spots and search til it is to dark to see anymore. January 13th Wake up and get up to search the hill again at first light. Search for another hour without finding any blood or the pig. At this point I am devistated. I want to keep searching but knowing my shot was not good and seeing him that far away and going strong I believe he is in fine health. I go back to glassing. I glass all day and turn up several small whitetail bucks and a few does. Did attempt to stalk a small fork and was able to get to 80 yards before getting busted. January 14th Wake up and go to same area where I got close to big whitetail week before. I glass a few minutes and find a small 3x3 and spike but they feed up over the mountain. Continue glassing finding a few does. Right before I decide to head to another spot I find a good 3x3 but it is spooked by something and runs up over the mountain top. I think illegals may have spooked him. For the afternoon I decide to go where I had my shot and see if I can locate the herd again. I glass for 3 hours turning up 3 does when I find a pig. That one pig turned into 17 pigs in the next 10 minutes. I plan my stalk and begin my climb. I get 70 yards from the pigs when 3 illegals come up over the ridge and spook the pigs down the hill. A quick call to border patrol and I am back to work. I locate the pigs below me and start to stalk again. I get to 80 yards when a truck pulls up behind mine and 2 guys get out throw binos up and grab there bows and run up the hill. I try to hurry up but the herd bust from the guys running up and I cannot get a shot off. The part that disappoints me is that the guys who busted the pigs are the same guys who busted the pigs from me on January 1st. Those pigs were in 36a and about a 25 mile drive away from where I was in 36b. I do not know if they were following my truck or not but I am not a happy camper about this. January 15th Wake up and go back to where the pigs were the night before. Glass for 2 or 3 minutes and locate a small fork with 2 does. I told myself at the begining of the day I was going for pigs only unless it was a monster buck. I keep glassing and around 8:30 I locate a spike and a doe on a distant ridge. A few minutes later here comes a nice size fork. Following the fork is a 80 class 3x3. I look it over and we decide to move around to the other side to get a closer look. I setup and glass only finding the fork. I continue glassing when all of a sudden I glass up one of the largest bucks I have ever seen. This buck was an honest 110 class buck, his beams come almost to the end of his nose. I plan my stalk and I am about to take off when in the wash below me I saw a tall, heavy, wide 4x4 muley. I try to get in on him but can only get to 60 yards and he just keeps up his walk and I could not keep up with him. I get back up to my perch and the big whitetail has gotten out of his bed and moves off to another area I am guessing. So we pack up and head home. Here is a pic of the big buck, sorry that it lacks quality but looking in the direction of the sun and almost a mile out will do that. You can see his mainbeams coming way out infront decent. Here is a really good pic of a doe I think. The doe was about 350 yards away That is my story so far and I am heading back down on the 18th and staying through the 21st. These will be my last days down in the 36's archery hunting this year so wish me luck.

    First Bow Hunt: Part 2

    Actually no snow down there. But this morning on our perch my dads truck themometer read 2 degrees. Then yesterday morning it said 6 degrees. It was bur chilly and the deer were out on the sunny slopes. Pigs stayed down all morning and wouldnt move til midday it seemed like.
  20. Here is the buck my buddy stalked the first weekend of the archery hunt in January. Here is a picture of him before Here is a paicture after I am gonna come clean I have not read any instructions so hopefully after this weekend I will read up on it and figure this out a little better. What do you guys think and be honest. I may not get to read any of the replies because I will be heading out early tomorow hopefully.

    swarovski DCB-A

    Yeah then I would highly recomend this attatchment for you. If you can I would recomend getting a case that you can carry your spotting scope with the DCB on it at all times. Because for me once I got the DCB perfect it has made a big difference. Just make sure that the DCB is level when you put it on.

    Here are some uncropped pictures Here is a picture from 800 yards or so (posted before but cropped) Same buck only 600 yards this time Bedded buck 1200 yards or so (posted before but cropped) This picture is from 900 or so yards (posted before but cropped) Small buck but picture is from 500 to 600 yards Javelina at 500 yards Also if you do get the DCB one thing that I have learned is turn off the flash before each picture. It helps greatly.

    The first picture is of it when it is in its "glassing mode" and the second picture is of it in its "picture taking mode". I am not sure if you will be able to use this adapter with a fitted case on it if it is the case I am thinking of. If you do have to take it on and off be careful because you would still need to take the eyepiece on and off. As for the timer mine is set for 10 seconds and that is fine and I am sure that 20 seconds is fine just make sure the animal isnt moving fast. I will post some uncropped pictures of some deer a little later once I find them on my computer for you to see!
