I've been Javelina hunting in AZ Unit 18B off Burro Creek Road for several years. It seems the last few years numbers have declined dramatically. The last couple years have been really nice camping trips. Is anyone willing to suggest a different Unit or maybe I just need to move somewhere within...
After browsing some of the hunting threads about bird dogs got me to wondering if any one does, or knows of someone who hunts with poodles? They were originally a hunting dog.
I've been trying to determine what AZ considers a legal handgun for the HAM hunts. Would a Thompson Center Contender in 223 be considered a handgun, or is it defined as more straight wall cartridge of maximum OAL.
Toying with the idea of placing a couple baits out over labor day weekend, and hunt the following week. Anyone had much luck baiting in the fall. Biggest draw back it's a 6 hr drive from here to there, gas prices are way up, I'd just cold camp in the tent to set the baits, and pull the trailer...
I've started applying for California Bighorn here in NV. I really don't expect to draw, but thought I'd start gathering information just in case. Nothing worse than drawing a tag, then trying to gather info in just a few weeks before the hunt starts. Anyone have any general info on particularly...
Anyone use a Gille suit instead of the normal camo's? I always thought it would be a good way to go but didn't want to get caught wearing one. My brother bought me a Gille suit for my birthday, tried it on while on our AZ Javelina hunt (didn't hunt with it) and it really made a guy disappear in...
I've got an AR platform chambered in .223. I've been told, 1) don't shoot 5.56 in it because 5.56 is loaded to higher pressures and it's unsafe. 2) no worries go ahead and shoot no problems. Lots of knowledge and experience here. What say you??
I've been archery hunting Javelina for sometime now. thinking of going for the HAM hunt. I have a .54 Hawkin but think it's a bit much for Javelina. Anybody have experience shooting/finding a .45? I'm not interested in inline's. My .54 with iron sites and round ball I'm comfortable out to 80-100...
Anyone use a trickle type bait barrel rather than the standard 55 gal drum with a larger hole cut in the side and chained to a tree upright?? I've taken a 30 gal drum ran a cable through it length wise. and used a hole saw to cut a few holes in it. Hopefully the bears will roll it around a bit...
I've been a member for awhile now, and do glean some useful information form the posts, and replies, but it amazes me how people like to get way off track or complicate simple questions. If I were to ask which factory premium 30-06 ammunition would be recommended for species antelope to elk. By...
I’m interested in what North American Species Hunt Talkers think is the most difficult to harvest. I don’t mean hard to draw a tag, terrain etc. I mean you have a tag, made the trip and just need to hunt one up and seal the deal. For simplicity let’s limit this to the most common for now...
My brother(s) and I have been hunting archery Javelina in 18B along Burro Creek Rd for several years now, Have a pretty good feel for the country in the area we hunt. We always at least see animals, but is there maybe a better area within the Hunt Unit (17A, 17B, 18B, 19A, 19B, and 20A) we might...
Started looking towards our annual AZ archery Javelina hunt, and noticed AZ found a way to milk a few more dollars out of us. Now a non res has to purchase a $25 sticker to operate their ATV in AZ even if registered in your home state. I understand the requirement they had about being registered...
