AZ hunting

Off the 26 road, below Hannagan Meadow

 

Well, saw tons of doe in 36A, but not one buck. Tough luck... still great times as usual though.

 

Javelina this weekend... went for a random, unscouted spot this year to shake it up. Toss up between the 5.56 or 30.06.

 

For pigs a 223 with vmax bullets do the trick. I've used an '06 and 300wm too but total over kill.

 

Yeah, my 222 is out of commish... now that's a GREAT gun. I've used the 06 before successfully (yes it's a lot) and I'm not sure my AR is sited in well for the hunt. I even used my 7.62r with irons once for the challenge. We'll see.

 

.223 is plenty. My girlfriend and I killed a couple with a .22 mag a few years ago. Both one shot kills.

 

Hahah, it's not a question of power, more like what I feel like taking! The AR isn't sited right because of some tactical shooting from last summer. I won't have a chance to fix the AR until I'm in the field on Friday, so... I'm leaning '06. Maybe I'll take both :/

 

Depending where you are going and how much hiking you're going to do, take the 06 as primary till you can sight in the AR. A few years ago I took on with my Aug.

 

Anyone been out in 20B? I did some wheeling out their this weekend and saw a lot of "No trespassing " and "PRIVATE Property". I basically stayed on castle hot springs rd. Should I go farther N ?
You can see Lake pleasant in the background.

 

20B was actually my hunt unit for javi last weekend, but I was in the Bumblebee-Cleator area. I don't love the unit because of the number of people out there (and a fair amount of closed areas).

 

Bumblebee-Cleator I don't know where that's at? But yes, the amount of people out their is definitely a huge disadvantage and disappointment.

 

UHH can we keep this going?! I want to go hunting and take my Taco to the mud. Is there any other hunting going on through the spring??

 

Spring turkey next month. Those hunts are a draw. Need to put in the fall.
Feb javelina just got over. Of course predator - coyotes always open.
