Finally got my act mostly together. Here are some pictures I took during the javeliona hunt I did over the 10th. thru 13th. of Feb..

These folks hunted with me last year and they are super great folks to spend time in camp with and hunt with.

The girls are Hope, 15 and Libby, 14. Last year they both hunted with rifles. This year Libby chose to use a 44 mag handgun and Hope used an AR type rifle in I believe 7.62x25, I believe that is the Tokarev pistol round.

This is Libby with her first javelina of the trip.



Here is her second javelina.



Hope was unable to connect with a second javelina but here are a couple of pictures the first is me and her putting a sneak on some javelina in the greasewood and the second is the results of that sneak.





The next picture is of a friend of Hope's and Libby's Dad. His name is Rodney and he was down with them last year. David, the girls Dad doesn't hunt on these trips, he takes pics and helps me wrangle the group.

I don't know what brand of drilling Rodney was shooting, I think they said it was a guild gun.

Anyway, it is a 16x16 over 8x57R. He had a lot of fun with it on this hunt. In the picture is a javelina, western hog nosed skunk and a pair of blue(scaled) quail.



The last two pictures are of a couple of javelina that I shot during the hunt.

The first is of the javelina I killed with my 1907 .351 Winchester Self Loader that was built in 1923

The second is of me and a small javelina I killed with my 1894 Marlin 44 mag.

Crazyhorse - You have style.

Talk about style,
rubber boots in the desert.
unless you turn them inside out, they'll never smell ya' comin"

Love it.

Its about time you started posting some pix.

Man those are great.

You must buy your "camo at the same place I buy mine"

Question for you though,

How in heck could a fellow with such a cherubic countenance, be so ornery' soundin' in some of his posts.

60+ years of being raised around folks that do not even know what PC is, but do respect folks for the ability to have an opinon and stick to it.

I also learned along the way, that if a person has an opinion and just keeps it to themselves, they will be ignored, and from experience that ain't a good thing.

Also, even though I enjoy the computer age in some ways, typing words on a computer screen just does not ome across the same way they do when folks are setting having a beer together.

As for the boots, I got used to wearing them at the zoo.

They don't leave no scent, about as quite as a pair of moccasins, don't know that they would turn a snake's bite but being slick rubber they might.

I can wade out into a stock pond if necessary, wadse thru a set of cattle pens if that is called for, and found out real quick the soles of them won't stop a spine from a Horse Crippler cactus from reaching your foot.

To me they are about as good as snake boots, just not as heavy

Really great pictures.

Good stuff CHC! That's a pile o' peccary!

I really enjoyed the pictures and the written accounts of the hunt. Keep them comming. By the way that's some dry looking stuff you're hunting in, it would take some getting use to on my part.

That area has been under drought condition for most of the time I have been doing the hunts, and I started them in 1998.

Great job, Looks like they had a great time.

The type of hunting I do for javelina is designed to be fun for all concerned.

Some one asked me one time, "Why Guided Javelina".

Real simple, one javelina looks just like another javelina, so my clients are not worried about anything but enjoying themselves.

I don't have a lot of repeat customers, but I do have a few, and I know that the reason they are coming back is to hunt with me.

Despite some of the benzidrine that flows thru my keyboard on to this screen on variuos topics, I work at showing my clients a good time and letting them have some fun and an escape from the real world.

The girls and I had a great time hunting with you. Anyone that wants to do a great hunt should try javalina. The girls and I have hunted alot of places (including Africa) and this is one of there favorite hunts. Randall is great with kid and adults and knows javalina. Grab the kids and some ammo and give Randall a call.

Cheers

Goood show, CHC. You don't look half as crazy as I thought you would. You look 125% crazier.

JK, and well done. Thanks for sharing. That young lady has some excellent taste in baseball teams, too!

And no, Norty, I don't want to hear about last night.
