tjhunt2 Report post Posted December 8, 2008 Thanks for the pic. These are my favorite to hunt out of all the big game we have in AZ. I'll be going after my 31st next month and will be hunting an area I've never hunted before. Got my 3rd choice unit 37B/33 and can't wait to see some new country. Good luck to all the pig hunters.

azhuntnut Report post Posted December 8, 2008 Cool picture. Did it know you where there? He had an idea I was standing there, but my son was about ten feet to my left and made a litte grunt and he moved away about ten yards. That would have been a sweet broadside shot. We also smoked two coyotes on one set up. It was a good day. I to really enjoy chasing these little suckers around. They are great for teaching youngsters how to hunt big game. My son will have his first hunt in Febuary and I can hardly wait. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJ Okay I got to ask, why are pigs your favorite to hunt. I aint maken fun or nothing, just curious. I have never heard any one say pigs are there favorite. After messing up the first pig, I shot, in the oven and throwing it away my wife and I finally settled on a way that we both just love and that is to make sausage from them. I can't get enough! After hunting hard all year for other game with many hours of sitting and stocking you finally get to hunt something you can skyline yourself walking ridges and not get busted but most of all I get to sit and glass which is my next to favorite thing to do. I've only missed two years of not taking one since 1976 and they were due to me helping others and giving up my hunt. All have been archery except for my first.Temperature is usually nice and archery runs for weeks which give you time to not rush. Those who have hunted them know how exciting it can get, specially from a varmit calling experience. I have a ton of pig stories but will not bore you any more. Happy hunting!

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted December 9, 2008 I enjoy chasing them as well! Two years ago I snuck into a group of three boars... The one I shot popped up and looked at me at 22 yards... He was the FARTHEST pig from me! It was awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZbowhntr Report post Posted December 9, 2008 I think the thing I like about hunting javelina is the attitude that you can have. There is no pressure at all. You can blow a stalk and say so what. You blow a stalk hunting a big bull or buck and your sick to your stomach. You can call them in and it is very fast action. Or you can sneak in on them and take them without ever knowing anything is up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TJ I agree completely it can be a rush hunting those things. I have from more than one person that making sausage out of them is the only way to go. I will be getting a left over tag for 36a or 36c. They are fun to hunt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
