I was able to assist a young man from California who had a muzzleloader deer tag in Unit 16A, along with a companion javelina tag.

 

The young man and his dad had hunted for two days and had not seen anything.

 

We went out early one morning and I got lucky when I found a herd of pigs after glassing for less than 5 minutes.

 

We made a stalk and the young man bagged his first javelina with one shot at 85 yards!

This may be the oldest javelina that I've ever seen! He had no front teeth at all, and Erin at G&F aged him at 9+ years old!

Note, I put the rock in the pig's mouth to hold his mouth open for the photos.

 

Right after we got the pig, they got a call about a family emergency and had to leave.

 

But at least he got his first javelina.

 

Deer hunting was really tough this year in Unit 16A for a lot of the kids.

 

Always glad to help out our young hunters, who are the future of hunting in America!
