Archery Javelina

Clay Stephens had never actually hunted Javelina for himself.  He had taken folks on their hunts and gone along with friends, but this would be the first year he decided to put in for the archery draw.

The first day out, Clay had planned to hunt both Deer and Javelina, but shortly into the morning, Javelina took priority as he watched a small herd feed just above a drainage below.  The pigs were feeding in some thick brush, so Clay had to take his time to try to sneak within archery distance quietly.  Suddenly, three pigs busted out of the brush almost at Clays feet!  The pigs ran a short distance and stopped in a small clearing 35 yards away!  The pigs had no longer stopped when Clays bow went off!  The arrow hit the pig perfect, and the pig barely made it five steps before giving out.

 

Even though Clay had been on several successful Javelina hunts, this would be the first time he took one for himself.  On his way out, he was able to glass up a nice Muley buck, but as luck would have it a doe busted him during the stalk sending the deer on a mad dash for a better location.  Shortly after, Clay took a bobcat that he called in.

 

A good day of hunting in anyone’s book!
