Swivelhead Report post Posted January 30, 2015 8 days ,I would say Your in the wrong area or unit. Good luck. About 15 Years ago I met 2 guys and dad from Flag. in 36c, they said it was about 19-20th year in a row down there. All with kills. I told them right where I had just seen pigs. Not like they needed help. I was only Deer hunting. As far as Me ,Iv'e only killed 2. One rifle then 1 archery and that was enough. Have helped others with archery.. At 58 killen em doesn't excite Me no more , I'M just good helpin or watching.Like others said all Ya gotta do is play the wind........BOB! I was in unit 21, the sign was there just did not see the quarry. Not getting a javelina is no big deal, I've taken quite a few in my lifetime. I was just surprised I NEVER saw one during all that glassing. Reality is that I was trying to get it done easy (glassing). Needed to get out and beat the weeds to learn their routine in the area. Likely, I'll go back to the same area next year and provided the sign is there I'll do the miles necessary to decipher their core areas. Look forward to doing it.

Seldom Drawn Report post Posted January 31, 2015 I love it. And have spent a lot of time doing it. But it just hasn't ever come together for me. I have missed shots high, missed shots low, even bounced one into a pig on my first ever hunt. But for the most part I just haven't made it happen on these little guys. I have helped buddies, and kids but never my own with my bow. If unsuccessful on Sat, this will be my 10th consecutive batch of tag soup. Years ago i mssed several pigs then I told myself I wouldn't take a shot further then 20 yards, the next 15 years I killed , the last 2 at less then 1 and 1/2 yards let them walk if the are a little far off you will be amazed how close you can get to them.be patient keep your arrows in your quiver and see how close you can get it's all about the wind being right.

Flatlander Report post Posted February 5, 2015 One more shot at it this weekend. Loading up my midgets and heading down south. Good luck to the other Ham hunters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flatlander Report post Posted February 9, 2015 Well today I will put another pig tag on the wall instead of around a pig. Saw some sweet new country down south but couldn't find one pig to show for it. I have a theory about my curse, I am just not sure how to break it. Anybody know how much the commissioner's tag goes for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havasuhunter Report post Posted February 9, 2015 I'm feeling pretty cursed myself. I've purposely passed on shots in the past on them because of low light, etc. Shaved a couple shooting through the bristle hairs high with the bow, but haven't killed one. Got my butt kicked again today. Tons of sign, just couldn't lay my eyes on one. Going tomorrow for one more attempt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
