Jimmyc Report post Posted January 8, 2012 January 7, 2012 unit 33 went to attempt my first archery kill. Spotted a nice 4X4 mule deer buck. Couldn't get closer than 150yards. Found a nice water hole with a man made blind from weeds and tree branches. After sitting there for 20 or 30 minutes a single pig came in and before I could draw back, it took off. 15 minutes later a coyote came in and was under a mesquite tree 35 yards away. Let an arrow fly, and killed that mesquite tree. It didn't drop. Must of missed the vitals. The coyote took off too. About an hour later spotted a javalina in the water bathing. He came out, with a heard of 5. They were coming to me, the first one to come into the clearing gave me a braodside shot. 34 yards. Drew back, thump! Then arrow was in the ground. I walked over, and it was red. Followed a really nice blood trail about 100 yards into the wash. My buddy Scott and his wife Anita rolled out to 33 and assisted in the Find. Anita yelled out, got him. It was awesome! Thanks for reading. Long time reader. First post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jimmyc Report post Posted January 10, 2012 Jimmy, it looks like you ear holed him! Nice job man. Lets try and get out this weekend. I hit him just infront his shoulder blade. It came out between his ear and eye. Thru and thru. No blood inside him when I gutted him. It was nice and clean. Well, as clean as could be for a javalina. Still stunk. Joc is running the P.F. Changs marathon in Phoenix on sunday. Going up saturday mid day to get a hotel room so she can get some rest. I'm gonna stay with Jon. Might go out Sat morning. Call me.

Jimmyc Report post Posted January 10, 2012 Thats one heck of a day of archer hunting! The story I posted was seriously only part of my day on Saturday. It was actually a lot more exciting. And we saw a lot more game than what I wrote about. I was just worried people would loose interest if it was too long. To sum it up in short. I came 92 yards close to closing the "double whammy". Put a stalk on a very nice 3x3 muley on my way out with the pig in the back of the truck. I guess my buddy told me when I got back from stalking him, I was chasing the smaller one. He said 50yards away, was the big buck from the morning. Needless to say, it was the most exciting day hunting I have ever experienced. I didn't mention the heard of 25 we spotted, or the 8 doe coming from all directions chasing off a nice fox, or seeing that fox Sunday morning dead by the water hole. Looked like the doe caught up and stomped it. It had no bullet/arrow holes, or blood on it. Thanks for reading. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
