Spent a few days down in Arizona chasing javelina with a couple of my buddies.

I usually put in for a party application with my friend Ron and we got lucky and drew a pretty good area this year.

A good friend of mine had an open weekend and decided to ride along and check out AZ and also get out of the cold in Montana for a while.

We started out the trip seeing a bunch of coues deer and a few decent mule deer bucks as well. On opening morning within the first 2 hours, we found 7 javelina and I picked out the biggest boar in the herd and shot him with my 22-250 at 106 yards.

My buddies Ron and Monty hunted opening morning and didnt find any pigs so we split up for the evening hunt to search more country for pigs.

Monty and Ron found a herd of 15 and Ron shot this one at 125 yards:

We spent a couple days enjoying the warm weather and drove home Monday. Arizona is a great place to spend some time in the early spring...javelina hunting is a good excuse to make the trip.
 
Good work Buzz. Those little stinky bastards are a lot of fun and a good excuse to get out into the desert during the "winter" months down here :)

1 Pointer if you ever decide to come down just let me know and I'll see what I can do to help out. There's plenty of units that you can grab leftovers and if you come in January you can do a combo pig/deer hunt since those archery deer tags are OTC. Javelina were made for the archery hunters.
 
The meat is on the fair side...just about perfect for giving to the neighbors. If it were any better...I wouldnt give it to them...any worse...they couldnt eat it...perfect.
