In my observations- an undisturbed herd of javelina wakes up and feeds from 8/9am to around 2-3pm and lay down for naps. Around 430 they tend to start waking up and moving around again but more often stay low in canyons rather than up high where you usually find them in the mornings. So for afternoons, head to a new spot that you didn't glass in the morning and look under trees, at bottoms of small canyons on hillsides. There's always 1 or 2 pigs still feeding or walking around while the herd naps. I too struggle with finding pigs in the evenings, most of them time I'll find them right at sunset when they are walking in a straight line to their bedding ground for the evening.

As long as barrel is 14 inches or shorter its considered a pistol

Do these donations to AES count towards tax credit? I think I'm bout $250 deep and have not won anything this year The lady is asking me who AES is on my bank statements

If you throw in 2 bags of ice, it will last bout 4 days and the water is still cold about 40-45 degrees. If you cool up the cooler prior to putting the ice in (leave it outside on a night that freezes) the cooler will keep 2 bags of ice for 6ish days. Ice melts the fastest when you first put them in the cooler, if you pre-cool your RTIC prior to using it you can make ice last much longer

nice story!

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
