Years ago I sold my Thompson Center Renegade .54 cal and just recently picked up in trade a Thompson Center Omega Z5 50 cal open sights. I plan to add a scope. Can anyone offer any load recommendation starting points? I plan to use it for HAM javelina in 2018. Thanks.

I got out this morning for my fourth day hunt and 3 out of four times including today Ive been into herds. I havent been able to close the deal due to poor shot choices and crunchy ground conditions. This morning was cold, around 24 degrees with frozen ground and dusting of snow on some hills around me. I left the truck around 0730 and after walking about 15 minutes I spotted my first pig. A cow got between us and spooked thus spooking the pig. Another 100 yards I found the rest of the group with two separated from the main herd. I went after them. I moved in to about 30 yards and parted the pigs hair with my first shot. She ran about 10 feet slowing to a walk. I hit her with my second shot (G5 Montec) and she took off down the hill. Easy blood trail led me to it 75 yards away.

I would go in there with a headlamp, and 22 pistol. Shoot it, snitch myself off to AZGFD, get a ticket then post on here about how I got screwed by the man

I spent last Sunday archery hunting javelina in 20C with my son and son in law. Ive hunted the same spot with my kids during the last ten archery hunts and a few junior hunts. We have usually done pretty well and this one was no different when my son in law tagged his first archery pig. I have a routine with the time of day and hills I hunt due to past success. When I got back to the truck I waited for both boys to return and thankfully my son in law was carrying a pig. Being his first one I helped to show him the proper way to skin one and not taint the meat. Instead of putting my pack and binoculars in the truck, I set them on the ground next to the mesquite we skinned it at. 😞 After finishing, we loaded the pig in the cooler and were on our way home. I was probably an hour from home and an hour from the hunting spot when I realized my pack wasnt in the cab. Panicked because others were in the area I quickly drove back thinking I had a 50/50 chance if my gear still being there. Thankfully when we got there my stuff was in the same spot. Live and learn.

Just saw 2 piggys behind the strip mall at Ranch Circle and Ray Rd in Ahwatukee

Used to go to Puerto Lobos all the time in the 70s and early 80s with my dad. We snorkeled and trolled a lot not far from shore since we only had a 14 aluminum but did fairly well with Long Rapalas and large single hook chrome spoons catching grouper and sardinera. If we used bait we only caught trigger fish or rock bass. We camped in the larger cove about a mile down the beach from town and never had any problems.

My tag, and license was in the pocket of my backpack so I hoped if someone picked it up they would have my address and contact me but you never know with a nice Eberlestock pack, Swarovski Binos, knives, gps etc if someone would do the right thing or keep it. Im thankful to have it back.

They are awesome thanks!

Thx, yea it was a tough drive back especially when Ive been busting my sons stones about leaving his crap laying around and look what I did!

Yep

My son in law got his first this morning after shooting his first deer in the same unit. He put several stalks on a group of pigs before getting a 35 yard shot and put down this sow. Hes hooked.

My dad passed it down to me. It was in a holster on his hip for 25 years so it got a little use.

Thanks, looks from the wear on the checkering it gets used.

Here you go

Awesome buck

Archery 3A/3C 10 points?

Still have it? Location?

Yes the scabbard is very tight. I might remove the bolt next time but the only time I use it is when Ive tagged and packing out which is rare.
