mbiewer Report post Posted February 6, 2011 So... maybe everyone is still out inthe field... any success stories for the opening weekend for the ham hunt? Iwanted to be out there (37b) on opening morning for my hunt, but reality had different plans for me. Gotta settle for the second weekend (luckily thats an option) .... so maybe there will be a few left. Was hoping to see the pictures, and or stories form those succesful this weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oz31p Report post Posted February 6, 2011 Firday I found all the same sign that was here 3 weekago. Saturday I had some one bust a heard about 100 y to my right. We wandered into a few straglers I drew back and my peep tube came untied. About 20 mins later I found 1 byhimself at the bottom of a wash. I drew but there a small yacca he was standing behind so I pass on a shot. Never had a nother opportunity. I'm cooking breakfast now and we ll head out to try again.

123456 Report post Posted February 6, 2011 I was helping some buddies in 20B, we got 1.5. 1 pig was hit, however we were unable to recover. Things are tough as nails and even a 50cal if placed wrong will not stop em. Lots of pigs both days, just lousy shooters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUG Report post Posted February 6, 2011 I missed 2 different ones Friday in 23. I thought I had more patience........ Still like someone here said: The only thing worse than not getting a pig, is getting a pig. At least I got some exercise. And I'm going back Friday for more exercise. Oh, and nice picture and nice gun, Nitemann. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coach Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Went to 27 today with my oldest son. We didn't see any javis, but saw lots of elk and tons of turkeys. One huge group of older toms were strutting and gobbling like crazy. I figured 27 might be a long shot for pigs, not an area that I've consistently seen them, but figured I'd give it a try, if nothing else, to learn the unit better. It was a fun day for both of us getting to see so much game and play with the thunder chickens, but didn't even find any good pig sign. Prolly the last tag I burn on 27 for piggies. I'll be out next weekend in a different area. Maybe it will be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mp_moody Report post Posted February 7, 2011 Had a downright miserable time in 20B. Woke up Friday morning to lows somewhere below freezing. Didn't get going to our spot til well after sunup. Saw nothing move all day. We ended up driving from Bumblebee back to the Walmart at Happy Valley and I-17 to get a tent heater and lots of cold medicine. Didn't see anything yesterday except for a pair of muley does around noon. Woke up this morning to a lot of wind. My cold is now five days old and not getting any better. Headed home today to nap, do laundry, watch the Superbowl, etc. We are planning on heading out to a spot by Lake Pleasant tomorrow morning where I have seen javelina many times before. Waiting for this Nyquil to kick in, hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with pictures. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
