That picture is not a very good one, once you see frontal view and all other angles it's plenty enough for a 141!

I use 55 grn hornady sst on the 223 contender. Works well out to 90-150 yards. Both pigs showed great damages to organs and bullet stopped in the hide on the opposite shoulder.

Mine is coming today. Since I used a different address on billing and shipping, I was marked as a possible fraud, that put a delay on shipping for 2 days.

Congrats!

Will it work with a tripod adapter attached to the 15's?

sweet just got mine, goodbye coleman coolers.

through the RTIC website?

15 years ago pops picked up a bow and said he was going to try archery javelina. I thought he was crazy because at that time we had a hard time even finding them. Fast forward to 2017, pops laid his 14th archery pig down, in a row. He cut his strings so he had to borrow my sisters bow (like I did) and made a great pass through shot on a 40lb draw at 23 yards. I was sitting bout 50 yards downwind and after the shot the pig woofed and ran right at me and collapsed near the cholla in the picture, pretty exciting! The ladies were able to watch the whole thing from 500 yards away through two set of swaro 15's. They had fun too. Here is a picture of the shot, looks like he was right in their bedroom! He shot the pig on the left side

What was the final outcome? did the buck die? I can see him moving a little throughout the video

Yeah it's nice! This year pops and I were able to harvest off of new herds, couldn't close the deal on the ones we usually chase. We have a map where we mark all javelina sightings, pretty much all of it is red now.

awesome

Before I write out the story keep in mind I lived in Washington for a year and kinda forgot how to stalk javelina. This year there was no problem glassing up herds, was finding 2-3 herds a day and pulling off 2-4 stalks a day. My biggest problem was getting too close and getting busted by a pig I didn't see. Had to pull off 7 stalks to seal the deal. On 3 stalks I got caught in a stare down with no shot at 4,6,and 6 yards. My rangefinder does not work at that distance so I had to pace it off to find out how close I actually got. All the other stalks presented me with zero opportunities while the pigs worked/fed their way in the wrong direction of the wind. Never spooked any herds, they just woofed and padded off. On Sunday at first light I was able to find a new herd and this impressed me, I glassed them up 2 miles off with my swaros! (actually 1.94 miles on topo map but I like to round up). Took a while to get to them and got within 40 yards but was trapped due to wind and the sun. If I stood up my shadow would be on the pigs so I had to do the crawl for a while. After an hour I was able to locate a pig that can present a shot. Worked my way in to 14 yards and gut shot him. A few months ago I broke and dislocated my shoulder so I'm using a 40 lb draw bow and can only hold it back for a few seconds. Pig was bleeding pretty good, I tracked him to a bush and he came out woofing and he chased me and I pretty much ran uphill 50 yards screaming. After that he ran down into a wash and i tracked him to a small little cave about 2 ft wide and 1 ft tall, he was plenty alive and my only shot was to his face so I shot from 2 feet away, knowing that I need to be as close as possible to penetrate that thick skull with a 40 lb draw bow. It worked, pig #15 was down. [/url] For some of you it may sound like an unethical shot, it was my only shot I had and wanted to put the pig down since he was gut shot and in pain. It was a small opening and he was on the side in the little cavern.

Wow that unit is a keeper then Its an area I was born in and BLM land was about 300 yards from my house, great area to grow up in

Thank you all for the heads up, spend several hours researching each tire. Looks like I will be going with cooper AT3 on the Toyota, spoke to off roading guys and guides and they also recommended the AT3 and the fact it's going for $111 a tire is pretty attractive!

I drive a toyota tacoma, my tires are running low bout 20% thread left. Tax season is coming up. My truck spends about 70% of its time on pavement and 30% on the dirt road/offroading. The toyota does towing too, a jumping jack and a quad or a ranger when I go hunting. What tires are good for a light weight truck in Arizona and a truck that does some towing? I asked my local tire shops and they all recommended the most expensive tires on the market around $300 a tire, I aint gonna drop $1200 on new tires.

Just spot and stalk, calling doesnt work unless you are within 20/50 yards of a herd. Once in a while you could call them in from a long ways away but that's the same odd as calling in a coues with a bull elk bugle. I never tried it and I won't try it, all it does is educate the herds, I only use my call if I missed a shot and there are reds in the herd, if they come running back it's still hard as heck to pull a archery shot on a running pig

barnes triple shock should do it for coues

Swaro in 34A

thanks everyone! Casey- it feels good to post stuff on here again, I did 1000 post from 2004-2008 and maybe 15 since then! Zeke- theres 7 herds of pigs that I have been chasing for 20 years, every year they are usually in the same area, its nice that I hunt in probably the worst javelina unit in the state of AZ other than 13B and 12AW And no, if its an archery tag you must kill VIA archery equipment, can't use a gun unless its a HAM or Rifle hunt Thanks to all, going out this weekend, my pops hasnt filled his tag yet!

Some huge elk has came out of the LE hunts, its hard but can be done, kinda like a coues hunt!
