Default Arizona Desert walk

Went out to call a Coyote today, this is a shotgun only area, but right across the road, so I just walk over and hunt. No Coyote today, but I did find this guy, they are dumb as sticks for sure, the will walk up to you if you don't move, this guy was at a water hole about half mile from my place. Hope the lousy cell phone picture works, and too bad they are not in season now. Larry

You have an actual 'Season' for wild boar/feral swine? Around here, if you have a firearm and you see one, it IS open season!

These are Havalina not related to a pig at all. I have run into bunches of them down here. If my camera was good it would look like this:

Okay, that makes sense. I failed to identify the critter.

I remember driving through Apache Junction in 2005, I was in a new Mustang and got pulled over by the local deputy.
He wanted to see the Mustang up close.......I got has name and address and sent him a 2006 NZ calendar.

If I had known of Saubier back then it would've been good to meet you Larry......Kiwi

Hmm, just downhill from the Superstition mountains. When you find the Lost Dutchman Gold Mine be sure and let us know if you need help fending off claim jumpers.

Javilina make excellent bowhunting material. Shot some years ago down by the Chochise VOR. Fun critters to hunt, a little too near sighted and ignorant to chase with a rifle, 'bout as much challenge as a hearty-of-girth, gravity challenged female at closing time, but for chasing with a bow, they are just what the doctor ordered.
