mulie hunter Report post Posted January 2, 2011 Went out this morning this morning with my 15 year old son and my Hunting buddy Steve who is on his first ever javelina hunt. We got out to our hunting area about 830am. Park the truck about 1/2 mile away from where we think the pigs will be. We get to the area no pigs, no sign.... Wow I think, this sucks! But I tell them they are in here let's keep looking! Less than a 1/4 mile away, we find them a nice herd of about 15 pigs! So now I'm going to show them my pig hunting expertise! I say I'm going to call them right to us, with my electronic call! It worked great last year! So I hit the call button and it goes to screammin' and pigs go to running! The wrong way though, they are running away from us! Oh no! I turn the call off quick! But not before I hit the coyote howl button accidently! Lucky a javelina stops broadside at 40 yards from Steve and he nails him with a 100 grain montec! 1 down 2 to go!And it's not even 10am yet! To make a long story short, me and my son hike about 2miles around noon, looking for these elusive creatures with no luck! We get back to the truck a little after 2pm,. My Son says he is tired, I tell him I want to check one more spot. He says go ahead he's staying at the truck. Off I go.... not more than 400 yards from the truck.... Javelina.... there's one 30 yards... The slick trick flew true and the Javelina ran about 100 yards and is down! My son was a bit upset at himself for staying at the truck. But I told him its the first day, and he will get one! Happy Hunters! Steve Packing his pig out! My Pig! My son showing off the Teeth! 15 yard Jackrabbit!
