    I have a kel tec pf9 for trade. It's factory cerakote in coyote tan. Will come with factory kel tec case, trigger lock, IWB holster and 1 mag. Looks great and functions great! I'm looking to trade for a gsg 5 or gsg 522. I'm open to both pistol and rifle models. If you have one for trade send me info/pics and I'll do the same.

    As adults many of us have killed our fair share of pigs and have moved on to bigger and better critters. But when it comes to kids javelina are the perfect animal to get them started! My oldest son shot his first pig in October and he and his brothers couldn't have been any happier. Everything about hunting those stink hogs is ideal for teaching a youngster how to hunt and getting them hooked on hunting. The only bad part is that my boys aren't fully competent in the cleaning and packing chores so I still have to get my hands and pack all stinked up with that awful pig smell!!!

    That is a great pic TAM and reminds me of when my son was younger. I always gave him a pack to wear so he could "help out" and carry stuff like food, water first aid etc. When he was about 11 I got him his first knife to carry whic was a big deal for him.

     

    I have found that after taking a few pigs and have my trophies I now just bone them out on the spot. I take the meat and put it in a 5 gallon bucket with two cups of salt and a bag or two of ice, add water. I leave it in there over night and change it in the morning, then soak it again all day.

    It pulls out all of the blood and 99% of the smell.

    I have been very fortunate to take them with rifle, pistol and bow over the last 25 years and am looking forward to hunting 16A after picking up a leftover tag for the General Javi hunt.

    I will probably go up and scout this weekend and maybe next too as this is a new unit for me and work has kept me super busy the last six weeks going to and from Kingman and it is killing me watching that area at 60mph. LOL

     

     

    Hey PRDATR when you say you re-soak them in the morning, do you just add new ice/water or do you also add another 2 cups of salt too?

    Why not just buy him a hunting Lic. That is what I do not under stand. If the boy wants to have a gun and be responsible then he needs to buy a Lic. Heck sakes. Is the problem him packing a gun or is it buying the Lic. I'm on your side on this one , but he should have his own Lic.

     

    The reason I was debating on buying him a license is the fact that it will basically only be good for about a couple months from when I buy it for him! I buy it late October and it will expire on Dec.31, I dont really want to buy a license that might not be used again within those 2 months. Which I would rather wait until January to buy him a 2013 license and get my monies worth, thats the reason why. I didnt know about the apprentice license and called AZGFD today and i will be getting him one tomorrow. Its a free license thats valid to hunt for 2 days (no big game).

    What exactly was the expected use of the pistol? I'm just confused as to why you or he feels strongly like he would need to carry it? There's really no wrong answer, maybe self defense? I just don't think that an unlicensed minor tagging along on a hunt ought to carry ANY firearms at ANY age... Tagging along means helping glass and carrying large items uphill. If he's hunting, he has to hunt within your control. He has to have a license. Do you really expect that he'll be doing much small game hunting or target shooting while you are out pursuing deer? I am of the firm belief that EVERYBODY has the right to self defense- to include minors- but under the current laws it seems like you'd be better off leaving the pistol home or in the truck on this one.
