Coues assassin Report post Posted January 21, 2014 Well yesterday was the last day I was going to be able to get out to try and fill my 2014 archery javelina tag. After a long day of eyes behind the glass and walking in to my favorite javelina spot way off the beaten path my buddy and I were able to get the job done. About 15 minutes left of legal shooting light and my buddy says he sees javelina moving about 150 yards ahead of us. So I quickly grab the bow and make a fast stalk trying to get out Infront of them as they were moving pretty fast. My buddy stays back up high to watch where they run if I make a hit. Well I was making lots of noise because I didn't have much time before it was to dark to shoot and one of the three ran off but the other two continued moving pretty quick. I finally get out in front of their path as they move towards me. He got 5 yards from me when I realized he isn't stopping and let it fly. He did 3 spins and ran into a deep wash where he only went about 150 yards. Went back to where my buddy was by the time I got back it was dark we grabbed flashlights and began our search. Found the arrow soaked in blood where I shot him and got pumped up. After about 10 minutes of carefully searching through the wash seeing no blood I got nervous but soon enough we spotted blood and there he lay. All in all great day. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues assassin Report post Posted January 22, 2014 Congratulations on getting it done but don't tell me you carried that stink pig all the way back to the truck with the guts hanging out. Thanks for sharing. TJ I did but luckily we spotted these javelina as we were making our way back about 1/2 mile away from the truck. Figured I would just have me and my buddy each hold a leg and carry him back to use the headlights to gut him! First time ever not gutting an animal in the field.

Coues assassin Report post Posted January 26, 2014 Nice job! It is always good to have a favorite spot. I've been pulling pigs out of the same area for over a decade. Yeah it's great it's the same herd for about 8 years now I try to keep it large by being very selective on which pig I take Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
