AZHUNTER05 Report post Posted January 9, 2012 On 01-02-12 i find myself and my two other hunting buddies glassing for pigs in our favorite spot! After a short while my friend Rob spots a group of 7 pigs not to far away. Jim and i make our way over to rob and we get set up to talk rob into the pigs with the radio's. Rob gets down the hill we were glassing from and we are able to talk him right into the pigs. He makes a nice 30 yard shot on a pig and puts him down! After he makes the shot i watch the pigs scramble in all directions! So i try to keep an eye on them and hurry down the hill to try and get a shot on a straggler. I get down the hill where rob is and all the pigs seemed to have disappeared . Rob pulls a javelina in distress call out of his pocket and let it play for a few minutes. Nothing comes into the call which is no surprise to me! (Every time he plays that call pigs turn tale and run for there lives!) I give up on the hope to get a second pig out of the group and walk over to rob's pig. As we are shooting the breeze and high fiving about the first kill of the year i look up and see two pigs walking our way! I radio jim who is still up on the hill glassing and let him know we are on pigs. He finds the pigs and keeps eye's on them for me. It turned into a 100 yard staring contest! The pigs were looking right at me and rob and would not budge. Finally after about 10 minutes or so they finally started to walk down a ridge right towards us. I knock an arrow and try to close some distance on them. The pigs got a little startled and walked away from me down a hill. I thought for sure i was busted so i walked to the hill and thought i would try to get eyes on them. As im walking slowly towards the hill i hear the greatest sound ever, woofing! My buddy jim radio's me and tells me to stop where im at because the pigs are walking right towards me. I range a cactus on the top of the hill at 20 yards. Not a minute later a small pig walks right out from behind the same cactus i just ranged and walks right at me. Following the small pig was a nice big boar heading the same direction and woofing like crazy. I hold still and try to get a shot on the bigger pig. Neither pig is giving me a shot and closing distance on me quick! Finally the small pig quarters a little away from me so i draw my bow and let one fly! The 2 blade Rage tore through the pig and double lunged him! He ran about 10 yards and fell over! I ranged the shot at ten yards after it was all over. About 2 hour into the first day of our hunt and we have 2 out of 3 tags filled! The third tag has yet to be filled but he still has plenty of time to get it done! Thanks for looking and good luck on your 2012 season! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
