Got back from Texas.... OH MAN

[MammothCaveHunter]

I ended up with 3 hogs, only two of which are pictured, two javelina, two coyotes, one bobcat, and a big diamondback rattler.

I knocked everything down but the one hog that isn't pictured with my recurve. It was absolutely awesome. I shot the large javelina at 26 yards and it actually crossed one of the roads and went in a culvert that was filled at one end. The end it ran it was almost filled up so I had to go in after it. It was so tight I couldn't move my arms to my side and my boots hung on the way in. IT WAS A LITTLE SCAREY, thank God I'm a caver!!!!!! It was a stalk hunt along with the other javelina taken at 20 yards. The big red boar was actually taken from stand at 8 yards, he weighed around 250. The other boar that is pictured, a buddy and I stalked up on and it came running at us and I drilled it running with my recurve, only ran about 60 yards before expiring. The bobcat was taken over watering hole, after 2 days of watching it. I also took two coyotes, one of which was packing the leftovers of a big tom turkey. It was an awesome trip. As for the rattler, those diamondbacks don't let you get close like these timber rattlers back home, or I would have left him alone. I kept trying to get around him and couldn't seem to do so with all that thick stuff, so I shot him through the head and into the body, then cut his head off. He was delicious on the grill that night.
