Campnichols Report post Posted February 13, 2012 Just wanted to give a "Thank You" to David Frank at Grand Canyon Outfitters for his help with my first bow kill on this crazy big boar. This was a blast of a hunt and David is a great guy! Lance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billrquimby Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Congratulations on taking a huge animal. I'm not disputing the weight, but your photo does not do justice to a javelina that weighs that much after field dressing. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azhuntnut Report post Posted February 14, 2012 We used the SCI weighing rules. We didn't want to deduct for the guts. He took him a long time to grow that belly. Congrats on a big pig Lance. The skull will most likely make the Arizona record book. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I met Pete when I was in high school and did some hikes up Pusch ridge with him. Yes, I know Pete. He and Tom Foust were the outdoor writers for the morning paper. I worked for the afternoon paper. The three of us had lunch three or four years ago, but I've not seen either of them since. Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The skull will most likely make the Arizona record book. David It's been a long time since I edited the SCI record books, but we ranked javelina entries by skull size. The only weights we recorded back then were elephant tusks. What are the SCI weighing rules now? Bill Quimby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azspike Report post Posted February 14, 2012 That's a big pig! Post the skull size when you get it measured. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Campnichols Report post Posted February 14, 2012 The skull is currently at Western Skull getting cleaned up and will be scored after that. I will be sure to post it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azhuntnut Report post Posted February 14, 2012 Bill, I was joking about the SCI scoring system. We simply weighed the pig since he looked so big. There was a pig shot last year that was 59 and we thought this one might beat it. I have never seen it stated anywhere that an animal has to be gutted or not when weighing them. Its getting a little to serious around here. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billrquimby Report post Posted February 15, 2012 AZhuntnut: Guess I was too close to SCI in the past, but the humor about its imaginary weighing system actually escaped me. I suppose you used SCI in your joke because the club has a unwarranted reputation for having members who use only measuring tapes to judge the quality of their hunts and trophies. . I am not trying to be "too serious." Honest. You are entitled to weigh animals with or without their guts, or even sopping wet if that's what you want to do. I apologize if you took my comments any other way. That's a fine javelina that Lance shot, no matter how it was weighed, and he is to be congratulated.
