azhuntnut Report post Posted January 8, 2006 I set my camera up on a water seap I found last weekend while crawling around in the thick stuff trying to find out where the pigs were bedding down. I did some calling in this area last year and called in a fox and bobcat, but did not have a weapon with me. I was hoping to have pics of the bobcat and fox, but only got the fox and tons of pigs, plus the wrong end of a skunk. I took one of my buddys along with me this weekend who has never shot an animal with his bow and got him real close to some of the pigs, but it was a sharp down hill angle, so I told him not to shoot. We were right above them for about two hours, sometimes only about ten yards just watching them wrestle with eachother and napping. I finally decided to take shot when they moved out of the thick brush that was down in the river bed. It was exactly forty yards, but I forgot to adjust for the downhill angle and shot about three inches over his back. I am kind of glad I missed so I can go again next weekend. I attached my digital camera to my bow, so hopefully I will have a video of the kill shot next weekend. I forgot to turn it on when I took the shot yesterday, otherwise I could have shown the missed shot. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KP <{POST_SNAPBACK}> KP, We were actually standing right above them yesterday. This is at the bottom of a deep river bottom with boulders on both sides. We were just standing on the boulders looking down on them. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azhuntnut Report post Posted January 16, 2006 More pics from this week. I think there is a lion hanging close to the area, since I didn't get anymore pics of the pigs after the 9th. Plus I couldn't locate them all day on Saturday. I spoke with a guy in the area and he told me he saw a lion cross the highway about a mile from where I am hunting.

TREESTANDMAN Report post Posted January 16, 2006 I especially like that Javelina with the little piglet picture. I've always been fascinated with Javelina. Such a family oriented animal with unique charachteristics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for sharing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I actually have even more of that rodent and quail in the same pics. He was on at least five pics alone. The quail are in there all of the time.
