Bump again- shoot some offers in pm

PM with offers or trades if anyone’s interested, thanks!

I was quoting you from earlier cuz wife got tag 202 out of 375 and she got hit on Wed. But then later I read that we got the tag that came from the person who got rejected

Yeah stay away from 34b early hunts, it’s so bad that I’ve only been able to kill my biggest bucks there. Horrible! Stick to the 36’s, more hunters but far more opportunities. 5 bucks a day in 34 is same as 15 bucks a day in 36’s. Dont fall for the horror stories you read about hunting pressure- most of those folks are hunting by the road. Hike over a hill or 1/2 mile from a road and you’ll be alone most of the time.

Glassing wasn’t working well- snow was 12-20 inches on the hillside. About 11 we decided to start hiking ridgelines and try to find pigs down in the cuts. After a few hours finally located a herd. We snuck in to 143 yards and the rest is history! Fun facts- it was 3 degrees in the morning- the key in the ranger ignition was frozen solid, had to use coffee to get the ranger to turn over several times in the morning.

Awesome! You reminded me of a time I had javelina located, maybe 700 yards off and they all spooked. I was glassing around and could only see a road runner, I was watching it and caught moment below. A bobcat was stalkin the roadrunner and shortly after got it! One solid leap and he pounded it. Those pigs ran off a good half mile and started feeding again, wouldn’t surprise me if bobcats slay those red/juvies all the time.

Makes sense- congrats again!

Congrats. Why did you try calling when they were bedded down?

Awesome

Good times on this hunt, weather was against us, managed to drop two on the 7th stalk.

It’s been a roller coaster weather wise in Southern Arizona, snow, fog, ice cold wind, 14 degree mornings. Manage to harvest on the 3rd stalk at 11 yards. While stalking they decided it was nap time, all 15 pigs huddled up under a mesquite. We sat back and relaxed 80 yards away til they got up and moving again.

The month of January had colder temps during the day with more wind than usual, we were finding them down in washes this year. Usually find them up top or on the side of the hills. Numbers were about the same as usual, just harder to find in Southern Az

He’s got more than half a mil of toys! got a personal tour of that house it was pretty awesome! He never got time for his crime tho, his house got raided twice by LEO, paid fines and moved along.

Streak continues! 16 consecutive years with an archery javelina and 20th pig for pops. This pig is a biggun!

She was a big ole sow- we grind up all the meat with pork butt. 1 lb of pork per 5 lb of javelina. Then buy the jerky spices mix they have at cal ranch or sportsman warehouse, mix it all. Then use a jerky gun to put em into strips and dehydrate em or oven.

We jerky the whole pig- best way to eat em!

Beaton- that’s rough!

Toby- I’m getting older and I’m listening to my feelings more often. 👍

Using a basic unit now. Want a bigger one to do summer sausage and snack sticks (needs to exceed 160 degrees). I’ve looked online and most all dehydrators from $40-$1000 struggle to reach 160 degrees based on reviews. Anyone have an input for a dehydrator that can be used to make jerky, snack sticks and summer sausage?

Read they are working with USFS to build a new road that bypasses the locked gate.
