Good job Doug, I hunted there year before last and had a great time and killed Javalina as well, any pictures?

Here's some pictures from hunt #1

Even the poster gets lucky once in a while...

ya got like that Sitka gear camo , thats cool stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looks like a great time for everyone there. Something tells me that sharing a camp with the Wensel's would be quite entertaining.

John, is that your new A & H bow that you broke in? Good shootin!

Thanks for sharing! That is wonderful country, with good hogs too. Well done!

Ok, I have had enough, I talked to my dad and uncle, we are gonna book 3 spots next year. Look out little piggies!

Hi Kevin...yes that was my new ACS bow purchased at the K'zoo traditional show one week before.  Three yards on the ground is perfect shooting distance for me.  This pig was taken stalking through the brush after seeing a large herd nibbling on corn we left along the road to draw them out.  The Sitka gear mothwing camo was perfect color for blending in with the surroundings.  Most of the conventional camo patterns that we saw guys wearing was too dark.

Congrats John on your pigs. Did you have the opportunity to shoot the ACS out of the DB blind? How did the Sitka gear hold up to the thorns down there?  Mike

Hey John.... Did you bring it in with Barry's Oink-Wheeze call.   3 Yards, were you holding it by the ear when you shot it.....         Jeff

Mike, the terrain was open enough to pick your way through it without getting into very many thorns so I really did not test the Sitka gear against thorns.  Unless they have a new line made of latigo leather I don't think you would get much protection...although you may be popular in some bars on the west coast.  I would advise anyone hunting down there to carry tweezers with you at all times.  I never got any cactus spines but lots of these little thorns that are very small and thinner than hair off the Wensel's head.  Pair of leather gloves is also good for clipping brush and building ground blinds.  Lots of little, prickly stuff on a lot of the vegetation.  Never did try shooting my new ACS out of a ground blind.  Being new to shooting lefty I find putting a lot of cant on the bow to feel awkward and difficult to pull.

Here is Doug's Javelina:



Got a shot inside there showing the choppers???

Who's going next week to the pig gig besides me? I'm flying in from Cali on Sunday.

Is Gary L. back yet?

Yep, I crawled back to KY late last night Mike . . . had lots of action in TX.  I
I'll be back in here after I get some rest and wash all the red TX mud off my rig!  We're slicing the tenderloin and packaging sausage in the morning.

still waiting to hear about week 3.
