GTT Report post Posted January 27, 2009 My 11 year old son Jakob drew his second junior javelina tag & was able to get it done again! He got drawn for a unit we have never hunted pig in before.We have been really busy & were only able to scout with maps. Friday morning we arrived at our turn off right as the sun was breaking so we would stop & glass while we looked for a good camp spot. We didn't glass any critters but finally found a camp spot in some really good pig country. We set up camp & drove around getting a feel for the area until it started to rain on us. We headed back to camp where we spent the rest of the evening staying dry. Saturday morning we woke up to low cloud cover & fog but no rain...Let's go! so we hike to the nearest point & started glassing. After about an hour we had a heard of pigs about 3/4 of a mile away working there way down an east facing slope! Off we went to try & close the gap.We were able to get within 300 yds. of the last place we saw them & re-located them one ridge closer to us! They were now 175 yds. in front of us but Jakob couldn't get a good shot before they droped into the wash.As we were waiting for the pigs to re-appear, Jakob spots them coming up the other side of the wash 150 yds. to our left! He gets set up with his .243 on a bipod & finds a brodside pig feeding on a prickly. I get the camera rolling & tell Jakob"wait until I'm on him...o.k. take your time....."BOOM! His 2nd javelina is down! It was another awesome experience & again I'm so proud of him...video clip still to come Thanks, Bret & Jakob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
