That time of year again, my youngest boy recently passed his hunter safety and was chomping at the bit. Due to class timing he wasn't eligible for the draw this year but dad managed to find him a left over java tag, he's been raring to go since september. Spent the fall practicing with great grand dads 300 savage and asking more questions about javalinas than dad had answers to. Finally the day arrived and we headed south with a cooler full of hot dogs and root brews. Found some javas opening morning but couldn't get a shot, border patrol chopper picked the worst possible time to investigate us and the javas gave us the slip amidst the dust and racket. Found an old loner boar busily excavating a mesquite flat that evening, and after a heart pounding stalk/chase Eric punched his first big game tag with a 100 yard poke.
300 Savage 130 grain hornady. Not sure which one of us was more excited, really is a blessing to be able to share wild places with the young guys . Dad managed to fill his bow tag while we were at it.
Darn kid got a bigger java than I did :grin: Hope it's the first of many buddy!!
