JACK Report post Posted January 1, 2015 Guess 2014 was my lucky year...Drew tag #14 for an early archery bull hunt and tag #14 for a late rifle whitetail hunt...Spent more time in the field than I did working or at home it seems...I had high hopes...Discovered and explored tons of new country...had many ups and downs...made many diffucult decisions...learned alot...and had good friends and family to share it all along the way with...this is how it all turned out... I had never even hunted in this unit before...Thanks to all who offered and gave advice...saw tons of bulls...One day I had 20 different 6×6s 50 yards or less it was crazy...Ended up sneeking in and killing this bull at 10 yards on the 12th day of the hunt...He is my biggest bull to date...Hope I don't have to wait another 12 years to do it again! I had 14 days to hunt for my coues hunt...from what I saw the rutting was nonexistent...bucks were still hanging out together...saw 20-30 deer a day...averaged 6-8 bucks...Ended up passing the buck I put in for this hunt for at 125 yards...he is a great buck...most likely 7-8 years old probably past his prime...but I don't know...I didnt want to shoot him...anyhow ended up killing this buck on the second to last day at 750 yards...My longest one shot kill to date! Then to start the year off I killed my first javelina with my colt .45...We hunt this herd of pigs every year and for the last few years we've been hard on the sows...so I told my dad I wasn't going to shoot one unless I was 100% sure it was a boar...it was pretty fun to seek in and get that done... And while we were glassing for javelina I glassed up a fox about 300 yards away...started queeking at him with my mouth and he came on a string and less than a minute later I shot him at 20 feet with the colt .45...fun stuff! 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
