Javelina Hunt

[KevinG]

Sounds like you had fun gettin your first pig.  ;D

With something that close I would have pulled my pistol first.

The main thing is you got him, good job.

I would've but it was only a little two shot Derringer. I didn't want to use it unless I had to.

O, I see

The last resort Derringer

I was thinkin a 6 shooter.

Glad you got one though.

[KevinG]

6 shooter would've added too much unnecessary weight. I was thinking of going out with just my 6 shooter, but I never expected to get that close, since I didn't see anything during the scouting trips, except for maybe that last day.

In case you wanted to see it, here's my Euro Mount. I did this myself, and have the rest at the taxidermist. It should be back in about 6 months. One thing that's pretty cool is that as of right now it is a record book mount. Unfortunately I have to wait 60 days for final approval (dry time). Hopefully it won't shrink too much and stay as a record!

Nice Kevin!

That would be so cool to have your Javelina in the record books, along with a great story of how you got it.

Way cool having a book Javelina to go with your "This little piggy followed me home" story!!

"This Is How My Record Javelina Commited Sucide!"  by KevinG

They might make a motion picture out of it. ;)

That is pretty kewl. Congrats.

[KevinG]

You guys crack me up  ;D

Only took 60 rounds from a 30-06?  Plus 2 from a derringer?

"Well, that stunned him...  The bullwhip and the brass knickles made him GIVE UP...."

[KevinG]

It was either that or my bad breath and B.O.  ;D

Somehow I think the wind shifted and the little guy caught a whiff of himself and keeled over. I hear they pack a potent odour themselves.

[KevinG]

Yep, they sure do. It took a good couple of days to get the smell off of me from carrying him back to the truck

[KevinG]

The 60 day waiting limit is over, and yep, he made it into the books at 13 8/16 (thier method not mine). It kinda sucks though because they haven't updated the site for a couple of years. Hope they do and it finally shows up. My nephew is dying to see it published.

[FLBentRider]

Congrats anyway!
