HAM Javelina Hunt

[PowderCharge]

Well my son and I drew HAM tags so I’ll finally have a reason to take the wolf out hunting for the first time! I’m super excited! We drew in 24b and have spent time scouting/hunting that unit for our general hunt we drew in November. And we almost live in the unit so I know it well. My wife shot her first deer this year out there. My son, and I tagged out as well. We had a good year. Hoping to start next year off with a bang… one that smells like BLACKHORN209!!

Got it done opening day last Friday! First hunt with the wolf was a success! Was seeing fresh sign all morning but no javelinas. Was working the tops of mesas while glassing down into the washes. Was on my way back to the truck to grab an o-ring I forgot to put in my breech plug when I jumped this guy out of his bed. Played cat and mouse for about 10 minutes. Finally got back on him. He was heading up the hill across from me going to work over and probably out of my life forever. Decided to give my javelina call a few blows. It stopped him long enough for me to load a cap, take aim, and get the job done in one shot @ 80 yards.

Congrats! There have been many times when I have turned a hopeless situation around with a call. Nothing like having a whole herd come charging in to within spitting distance!

Those Jave's are a hoot to hunt, congrats!
I really miss that Arizona HAM hunt I did in my healthier days, but I still remember those happy times and so will you. Cheers to ya!
