Completing our 2010 Javelina Season

Hell all, this is Art. Just wanted to share a quick video clip and a few photos of our last hunting trip. We usually put in for javelina tags down south as a good reason to visit our best friends and to get away from the Northern AZ cold. This year Kevin and I, the husbands, put in for archery tags and filled them in January. On this hunt Michelle and Ann, the wives, would be looking to uphold their contribution to the season. The weather was not very conducive to hog hunting as it was quite chilly with strong winds and lots of rain. However, we were able to find a big herd of pigs hiding from the wind and both ladies were able to take their pigs. This hunt was a family oriented hunt finding glassing for javelinas while trying to entertain the kids. We managed to be successful at both. You can see in the video that even though our kids are well trained to cover their ears when anyone is about to shoot, it still scared the 2 year old a little. Its a blast to see the excitement in the boys when they make eye contact with the javelina. Its the reason the pigs start to make an exit in the video, but not soon enough. Its very rewarding to be able to share the outdoors with our boys and our best friend's entire family. I did not put much into editing the video but its enough to share with you all. Enjoy the pics and video, it was a blast making the memories.
