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.

Great hunt and story! congrats to all

Great! Congrats

Awesome! For some reason I can only double down with my pops during archery, never during HAM or back in the day during rifle hunts, with a muzzy is very impressive!

Thanks! We got a lady who has a rifle tag this friday, hope we can go 5 for 5

Here's the picture

Long story made short, glasses up 3 pigs over a mile out, something scared them and they ran down a canyon and out of sight. We figured we'd leave them alone and chase them tomorrow. There's a large chunk of private land between us and the pigs so it wasn't wise to make the long hike around the private land to chase spooked pigs. We moved farther up the canyon and glassed for other herds, dad was glassing the spot we found pigs earlier in the day, at this point it was like 2 miles and javelina were just a speck of dust moving around in the swaros. We decided to go for it, after an hour hike we got closer, nothing. We worked our way down to where we last saw them. Quickly learned that you can't see anything in the scope when a pig is 7 yards away. I had to eyeball it and when I shot I hit the dirt a few feet infront of the pig. Pretty bad. They scattered and was able to make a clean harvest at 54 yards.

Here's the entrance wound, 55grn hornady. Also forgot to mention this is the biggest pig I've possibly seen, she was a heavy pack out

you have to pay nr fees when you have lived out of state for 6 months or more and you don't become an Arizona resident until you have lived in Arizona for 6 months

Sweet!!!

Congrats!

In my observations- an undisturbed herd of javelina wakes up and feeds from 8/9am to around 2-3pm and lay down for naps. Around 430 they tend to start waking up and moving around again but more often stay low in canyons rather than up high where you usually find them in the mornings. So for afternoons, head to a new spot that you didn't glass in the morning and look under trees, at bottoms of small canyons on hillsides. There's always 1 or 2 pigs still feeding or walking around while the herd naps. I too struggle with finding pigs in the evenings, most of them time I'll find them right at sunset when they are walking in a straight line to their bedding ground for the evening.

Do these donations to AES count towards tax credit? I think I'm bout $250 deep and have not won anything this year The lady is asking me who AES is on my bank statements

If you throw in 2 bags of ice, it will last bout 4 days and the water is still cold about 40-45 degrees. If you cool up the cooler prior to putting the ice in (leave it outside on a night that freezes) the cooler will keep 2 bags of ice for 6ish days. Ice melts the fastest when you first put them in the cooler, if you pre-cool your RTIC prior to using it you can make ice last much longer

nice story!
