Ohio Guy With Some South Tx Hogs

[badger16]

I was referred here by a good guy name Roscoe, now I can't seem to leave this place. I figured I might as well share a few of my hunt pics from Gods Country......TEXAS! Not the best pics, as I didn't have a digital camera back then.









The badger pic has a short story, and is why I choose that for a nickname. It does invlove Buck Medley! I'll be happy to share it sometime.

That's funny how you all call him "The" Buck Medley!

Yes, I've hunted with him.

The guy with the javie is from Wisconsin, and you can see Buck in the background doing his guiding thing.



Here's a few more of me on the ranch.

This one I pulled from cam corder footage, the white on the lead hog is my fletch about to take spine


My first double on Javelina. I shot these two javies within minutes of each other, recovered them, killed a rattlesnake on my way to my hog blind, then killed a hog!

Welcome, congrats, & thanks for sharing the pics. Can't wait for the "badger" story.

I put this in the fire as well under the nickname thread.

Here goes.........

For an Ohio guy I've done alot of hoghunting in South Texas with my bow. Well, the third year down there, a buddy of mine from San Antonio(Buck) shot a badger with his bow. The ranch staff said it was the first badger shot on that ranch in the fifteen years that they had held the hunt (The Shootout) I was blown away, as I didn't even know there were badgers there, let alone that we were aloud to shoot them. The following day, my buddy and I made an unsuccessful stalk on a bunch of javelinas. We turned around and started walking back towards the truck, and we both looked up in time to see a badger run across the sendero ahead of us. We both looked at each other and shook our heads in amazement. We never told a soul, thinking people would think we were full of bull, and just trying to take the limelight away from our buddy.

The following year we hunted the same pasture on the ranch. On the last day of the hunt, I was dropped off at a good sendero for javelina. I also had seen some nice feral hogs in the area. I walked down to a ground blind I had cut in the cactus, and sat down to cool off. I hadn't been there but a few minutes when a lone boar javelina left the safety of the cactus, and mosquite to feed on the corn I had out. Luck would have it that he fed away from my blind, and not towards me. The good thing was he was feeding straight into the wind, giving me a perfect stalking opportunity. I left the blind and went after him. After about a thirty minute stalk, I had closed within range. As if on cue, he turned from straight away to a nice quartering away shot. I managed to get to half draw when movement in the cactus caught my eye. There in a small opening I could see a badger making his way through the thick bush! (keep in mind, I'm an Ohio guy that at that point had only seen one live badger, and one dead one)
It was all I could do to finish drawing, and get my pin on the badger instead of the javelina. I shot, and couldn't beleive my eyes when my arrow found it's mark and slammed that guy! He did a quick spin and made it all of fifteen yards before he was done! I had just killed the second badger on that ranch in the sixteen year history of the hunt!

Hence the nickname badger16!

Congradulations! Nice pics! I gotta say, that's the first time I've seen a javelina on the back of a bike... nice touch, and will keep the fleas off of your back. Congrats!
