Congrats again to both of ya- you boys were having fun out there for sure. That's what it's all about!!

Howdy- I'm shopping around for ski boats for summer recreation for the kids, I have a few questions if anyone has the time to help me out. My go to guy about boats is on a cruise to the Bahamas and out of reach. Let me know if you can help and I'll send you a message!

Reminds me of my old days back in middle school, awesome!

The moment he sees elk up and close over the summer time he'll be sold.

10 days til charging of CC?

Hes a very young buck, if he was a straight 3x3 he probably score in the low to mid 90's, but with the extras he would be in the low 100's good genetics! Guessing 3-4 year old buck

4th picture down is my college buddy Joe- tell him howdy for me! Havent seen him in a while!

I have the same truck, gets ya deeeeeeeep into the woods!

Give me a pm if you have upcoming pups or know of someone, thanks!

Today my lady was able to get her first big game harvest. Her and I put many days of scouting down and got 3 herds patterned out well. This morning we located the south herd first nearly a mile out, worked our way closer to 180 yards of the herd. Since it was mostly flat with tall grass it took time before we got a shot opportunity. At 164 yards the 223 55 grain Hornady knocked down a pig. Clean pass through as well! After pictures were done and gutting we loaded up the truck and I glassed for another 5 minutes and located the second herd just right before we headed home. She was very excited about this hunt and did well with all the practice shooting and going over scenarios

Taking a chance here- I was out helping pops fill his tag on sunday and glassed up a what I think is a silver ford ranger 2 wd about 10 yards below a road on a steep hill, stuck as stuck can be. At sunup a nissan titan and a dark grey jeep had to double up to pull this truck uphill and back onto the road. I enjoyed watching the process, however I WANT to know how the truck got down there off the road! Was this anyone on CW.com? If it was someone on this site, you gave me entertainment as my pops didn't get a shot off on the herd that morning! Thank you!

hornady sst, got pass through and exit wound was roughly an inch around, pretty happy with the results, went through vertebrae too, as we were skinning the pig the head just fell off haha.

Awesome!!

Before the story starts I gotta say a lot of you folks missed out on a great opportunity to help a vet!! So on Thursday I confirmed with Lv2hnt that I would be taking a wounded vet out on a quest to harvest his first big game animal. I got in touch with him and had to explain that I couldn't take him out until my girlfriend harvested a pig. That didn’t take too long --- girlfriend was able to harvest her first big game animal on Friday at 8:23 am! Friday evening came and I spoke with the hunter and I just felt like I wanted more help on the hunt than just me. Called up a few friends and CMC (Chris McCotter) was quick to respond and was ready to go Saturday morning. My high school hunting buddy Jon also said he’d come out to help. Saturday morning couldn’t come soon enough! Right at 5:30 everyone showed up at my house. We all hopped into my truck and met CMC out in the field. It didn’t take long, maybe 10 minutes, and a herd was located by CMC. GPS eventually showed us that the herd was 1.4 miles away, so huge props to CMC! We were able to creep up to 94 yards from the herd and the hunter made a perfect shot and downed his first big game animal! It was a blast and it was great showing him how to gut a critter, skin a critter, and how to bone out a critter. I’m totally looking forward to helping out with AES Hunts for Hero program in the future!

😳😮 WOW!!!! Congrats to everyone!

Awesome!!!

Yes it's the lucky shirt, only works when I wash it the night before a hunt haha

Pics

Here is some more pictures, took some pics while we were waiting for a shot opportunity. Took bout 25 minutes before we had a shot, Adrienne was just chillin behind the rifle waiting, calm as a duck and I was kinda freaking out cuz it was taking so long!

Zeke- some guys are into reloading or elk or Coues or off-roading, I'm into javelina! They make good jerky! we all have our little weird passions

Dang 30 yards?! Sweet congrats

Heading out tomorrow to 34a with the vet. Anyone else want to tag along and help out?

Again great video! U boys really maximized the time down there, good job

We found pigs early at 704am, they were in the flats and on the move. We decided to go down and begin the stalk while our buddy stayed at the glassing spot and give us directions. The pigs went nearly 3/4 a mile before they began to feed. Given there was one hill in the flats buddy reported to me that they were at the base of the only hill in the area. We headed that way and found the herd, 61 yard shot and my pops season ended. This was a pretty large size male.
