Hey Curtis,

No, I have never shot a Javelina. The only live one I have ever gotten to see was in front of The Princess Resort in Scottsdale, AZ. But, 2009 is the year I get one!

congrats on the shot and the kill, on word of advice;), cook it "outside" ever wonder why they have a teet on there back[:-];):D, they are one of the stinkiest critters i have ever harvested

BTW, they make a cool mount;)

RE: 1st Javelina
 

The Texas Shootout is by far one of the coolest hunts I have ever been on. There are anywhere between four to five hundred people that show up for a five day javelina, hog, predators, and varmint hunt. It's bow only and located on the Challaghan Ranch which is about 92,000 acres. Everyone camps in tents or campers and you get to hunt anywhere you want. Basically everyone baits the senderos and try to spot and stalk them. They are a challenge. I went with a good friend and we met up with three other buddies down there. It's cool cause at the end of the day, even if you didn't shoot anything, you get to come back and look at everyone else's stuff.

Here is some more info on it. Rumor is they aren't doing it anymore

Hey I agree with m.t. hands, Congrat's on the Hunt & Kill , but I don't think I would want to eat that awful smelly critter.:)

RE: 1st Javelina
 

Congrats.

RE: 1st Javelina
 

Excellent. Did you clean it? Did anyone tell you about the musk gland?

Great job.;)

RE: 1st Javelina
 

The shoot-out was a great hunt. It is canceled because some jackass shot a deer and caped it out! 2009 was going to be the 30th annual. It is truly a sad deal because for $175 you couldn't find a better hunting time. It only takes one dumb ass to ruin it for 500+ other people.
