bo5953 Report post Posted January 23, 2014 Long time reader.......First time posting. Been lurking here for years and have finally decided to participate. Thought I would start off with a recent javelina success story. 2013 OTC 26M Had some time off in December so I decided to pick up an OTC Javelina tag to accompany my unused OTC archery deer tag. First night out I glassed up a good 3-pt muley chasing a doe about 3/4 mile out. With only 45 min of light left I high tailed it over to them. On my way I jumped a big 4-pt with 3-does. Needless to say, the gig was over. Went back to the same spot the next morning hoping to pick them back up at first light. While glassing I hear rocks rolling in the draw below me. A heard of pigs came feeding up the draw I was sitting on. I let them feed to me hoping they would come right to me. At 80yds I needed them to feed right which would put them within 40yds. They fed left which forced me to get ahead of them again. I moved up about 100yds and ended up having them feed right into me. I took this one at 15yds with a Gravedigger Broadhead, Easton FMJ Arrow and Mathews DXT at 70lbs. Everything definitely did its job as she only went about 10yds before piling up. Had her processed at Von Hanson's in Chandler. Peppered Peperoni Sticks came out excellent as always. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kidso Report post Posted January 24, 2014 That blood spot is right on the money! Pepperoni sticks? Never considered that since they BBQ so well. Might need to try that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
