Who the heck has access to live satellite feeds?? Elon Musk?? Cell cameras use cellular towers not satellite, I'm I correct?? And this is why we don't want more government in our lives.

I would of been beat within a inch of my life before I could of even thought about throwing a punch. I would divorce that shitbird of a wife of his for picking that punk up too.

They seemed to be near water and in the thick nasty stuff. Not much movement outside of that. It was really, really warm this year pretty much all winter long and didn't get any kind of cool down till just last week or so and that was short lived. I saw maybe one camp and maybe one other hunter out the entire time I went out and that was between the HAM and General hunt. Ask the warden or ranchers in your area if they think the numbers are down or if they think it was weather related. Hard to tell for sure just during a hunt but someone who is out year around would know.

Didn't get out to finally hunt till today at 1130. Didn't see anything but lots of sign. Headed to different area around 430 and called this guy and one other near a waterer in the flats. My son saw him coming in and once I turned, he caught our movement and headed away from us. He slowed down and I hit him at about 75 yards away. Alot of fun seeing them come to a call.

Yes it's a javelina with my Arsenal SLR 107 laying across it. I've had trouble getting pics to download on this site lately not sure if its my phone or what.

well that's not any fun,lol

Not sure about the unit, but my limited experience tells me that ideal conditions are cold, but sunny and no wind. They seem to not like wind. Our HAM hunt was very hot and dry and that seemed to keep them bedded or holed up in the really thick nasty washes and going to water late evening and mostly active at night. I bet even with the recent rains they are still close(mile or 2) to water sources. But if its cold and sunny, they should be out in the sun feeding and warming up. I am hoping to get out tomorrow and see if this colder weather helped. Good luck!

I second going back to places you've seen them before. I killed one last year in a area I used to see them all the way back in 1998 and I hadn't hunted in that area since.

They are underestimated for sure. On a separate note, anyone else realize how dang hot it is right now? Every pig we’ve seen today has been near water.

That's something to be proud of I guess? Nice work. Good job. Real thumbs up. Oh boy, not this s%#@ again. Why do all these threads turn into pissing contest every time anymore. There's a thread already covering what happened on that one.

None. Maybe a pair of 10s but most of the time none. I hunt flats and washes.

Found this today just cruising around with the kids. Couldn't go walk to far to see what it turned up but it dumped into some thick washes. That trail is all pig track and fresh too. No cattle anywhere. Too narrow and shallow for cattle or anything bigger anyways. Man I wish it was Ham hunt time already!

Dilly dilly

Curious about these as well or any of the cellular cameras. Have you used yours yet?

ASU should make it. But keep losing to these conference teams like they are, and they won't. What they found out is, when your a good team, all the other teams start bringing there A game cause they know they have to. Lets face it, no one gets up for bottom of the barrel teams, which is why they get an occasional upset over good teams. The good teams let there guard down. ASU doesn't have any size so if there outside shooting goes cold, they are in trouble. Conference play is tricky as everyone knows what everyone brings each game.

Your a better man then I. Its always lion season, always, lol!

That's not a bad idea, however I am not driving that far just to do that. If it was closer by I might try that. Id just hang a trail cam( if I had one) down in the wash were the trail goes for a week or so and watch the times. They are around there. Those tracks are way to fresh and that trail is beaten to good not to be used regularly for them not to be close by. Its just a matter of how many are in that group.

I’d be willing to bet they are using this trail late night to water or feeding grounds. It was warm last year during our ham hunt and they seemed to be in the washes most of the day so that’s were we hunted them. Probably be the same this year.

The trail goes to a huge thick wash and goes across the flats to another wash that has a tank just a little ways away. Definitely a promising looking area.

Oops, lol. Yes, it was like straight up and down

The HAM hunts are just around the corner. Gonna use a stainless Ruger GP100 4" in 357. Not sure what grain or bullet or even caliber(38 or 357) I'll go with. The gun shoots the 38 special and 357 158 grain soft points really good. Gonna try and find some good hollow point ammo in one of those two calibers or stick with the lead soft points I'm using now. What are you all gonna use?

I say go after it as best you reasonably can without getting hurt. Its not like you intentionally put yourself or the animal in this spot. Either way, film it, in case in becomes comical....for us, lol

Never invite "the man" into your life. Unfortunately you are learning that the hard way now.

I found some 38 Special +P 125 Semi Jacketed Hollow points that shoot great! Very accurate at various ranges. Roughly 1000 fps. I'll be trying those. Seems 45 Auto and 357 really have a following for pig. Nice guns in here!! Cool to see people change things up from the ordinary.
