Last weekend was our annual javelina hunt here in southern Arizona -

As usual, my wife tagged out opening morning and made an easy chip shot at 160 yards with her .243 on top of hill. She is shooting 80 grain TTSX's at 3,350'ish and was trying out a new scope to boot on this hunt. She made a perfect shot, as usual.

I killed one later that day with the .22-250 Ackley at 403 yards again on top of a mountain. Pigs are already in freezer in the form of sweet mild italian sausage -

Just one more good day in the desert. Glassed up some really nice coues bucks too. Our house is about 10 miles north of this area with the same views. Our own little slice of heaven for sure -

Looks and sounds awesome. Saw a couple of those things on my only hunt in AZ a few years back. How do they taste?

I am not familiar with that desert camo she is wearing.

I had a few of those big rascals charge the caller on my last coyote hunt out near Wilcox. One gave me the stink eye, but finally moved along.

Mix 'em with something...grin...

I'm not either...grin...

Good stuff! I like the ones I have killed and ate. Make Carnitas or tacos with salsa, lime, and cold beer.....YUMMY!

Congrats to you both.

Congrats. Beautiful country.

Congrats! They are fun to hunt. Did it myself this year for the first time. They do S T I N K!

Well you know what they say "once you get past the smell you got them licked"

It would take either a healthy sum of $$ or a liberal application of liquor to get me to lick one of those!

Javelina are about the perfect introduction to western big game hunting there is IMHO.

Great job. We got ours on Friday morning (opening morning). Been a few years since I shot one. The 108 Lapua was perfect medicine from the 260AI.

I marinaded and grilled up the straps on Thursday night and they were actually quite tasty. Had a few folks stop by for a punch on their man-card. All claimed it was much better than anticipated!

Exits dennis? You are at nearly 3,300 in your ackley with the 108 if i recall?

Yes, and yes. I got an exit!

Here is the best photo I have of the exit.

Detonation....

I wouldn't argue that point too much, but would probably put prongorn just ahead of the. That said, I do enjoy the late winter seasons on them.

i really want to head south and get one one of these days....think they are neat lil critters....and heading south to hunt them during the worst of our winter never sounds like a bad plan

Nice job Mr and Mrs GW.

Happy Birfday Greg....caught any pet fish lately ?

grin...

I still think about that from time to time and then Pat getting them out of the icechest stiff as a board and recessitating them...grin. Good times....

I made my hunt in conjunction with the 24hour campout. Best of both worlds!
