I got back from the Rio Grande Valley last night. This morning I got up at 4:30 A.M. and headed to Knippa, Texas for a javelina hunt with Pope Brothers Outfitters. We met at the ranch for coffee at 6:15 A.M. Just before first light Joshua and Joseph, two of Clay's guides, and I headed down the road into the middle of the ranch. Joshua and I parked the truck and stalked down the two-track to where they had been seeing javelina's early in the morning.



As we rounded the bend we spotted a lone javelina off to the side of the road. As we stalked closer, we could see that he was a good one. I maneuvered to an opening in the bush and let the 65 gr. SBT fly. He did a "high-five" and keeled over. He weighed in at 45 pounds.



We walked back to the truck with the javelina and got Joseph. We drove down the road about a half mile and parked the truck again. We came up on another solitary boar. He was moving through the brush. I waited for him to move between some bushes and let the AR do its thing one more time.



We had two nice boars on the ground before 8:00 A.M. After loading up the second javelina, we headed back to the lodge for a great breakfast!!!

Bob how do you like the 65 gr. I am assuming its the sierra. I have been using the 60 grain part.in my AR on hogs with good results.

Bob-

That is AWESOME! Congrats!

Nice rodents Bob. That first one is a big one. They don't get that big where I hunt. They don't get to live long enough.

Great job!

Nice work there Bob. I know you were glad to be able to connect on that pair.

JD,

Yep, it is the Sierra #1395 SBT. It is very accurate and so far does pretty well in the field. I use the 55 gr. #1365 SBT for predators in both my .223 AR and my bolt action 22-250.

I'm breaking out the 7MM STW for the pronghorn hunt this weekend though......

Bob

Good hunting to you and the Posse. Love to be with you guys but my daughter is having her first child this weekend. She lives in Amarillo, so I will be there. How far is that from where ya'll will be?

GW-The ranch is about 35 miles NW of Dalhart, about 120 miles from Amarillo

jeffeosso-I agree, perfect javelina medicine. I am working on the next few hog hunts.

I am just leaving for my 625 mile drive to the panhandle..........
