2023 AZ Javelina success!

[prhunter]

Once again, headed out with the crew to the great state of Arizona in search for the elusive javelina. Day two of the hunt was very productive for me. We glassed up a herd about 800 yds away Saturday afternoon. Made a move on them and got within 25 yards. When I came up on them, this sow presented a good shot and I took it.

AZ was very good to me this year. Harvested a nice bull elk in September, had a good opportunity at a nice coues buck in October and now this healthy javelina!

Nice going.

You need to talk your group into using handguns or a muzzle loader, I feel it is a lot more fun especially when you can get within 25 yards. I have had them as close as right at my feet out to 150 yards with a handgun.

I wished that I was down there this year but the draw gods didn't smile on me. But they have cut the tags in half for the unit that I am familiar with and after close to 30 years of hunting it we are too old to change.

Good work, that is so much fun! I was successful with my MZ this year also. The weather was pretty tough at times this season .
Congrats again, we just got through making a delicious batch of chorizo!

Once you learn where they live its easy . Use a predator call and they come right up to you. Shot My only bow kill at 4-5 Yards. Quit hunting them after that ,they were my pets when I lived in Cave Creek AZ. , they come through my property every nite and morning and tease my dogs. Lotta people love it. I 'm in to Turkeys as my fun. Congratulations..............................BOB!

Nice thing is that there are3 seasons starting in January with archery and the HAM's and rifle hunts in February.

A great way to start the year.
