Spring Hunting Season 2020 is here and it has been one heck of a January! The first hunt of the year took me to southern Arizona in pursuit of javelina with my bow. I just love chasing these interesting little critters this time of year. The weather is fantastic, bucks are rutting, and javelina are absolutely tailor made for archery hunting. This is a great hunt to put on your radar!
On this hunt I was joined by my brother Jake and good friend Gabe. Hunting alone is something that I’ve truly grown to love over the years, but having good hunting partners goes a long way. The vibe was awesome the whole day and the jokes were flowing like a strong spring runoff. We spotted deer on and off the whole day, but never could make anything happen with them.
At 2 p.m., just as we were about to make ourselves a nice satisfying lunch, my brother spotted a herd of javelina not far off. In a mad dash, we threw our food back in our packs and cut the distance on them. Before we knew it, we were a mere 80 yards from them. I dropped my pack and left Jake and Gabe on camera duty. They did a great job and I can’t wait to hear what you all think of the video! After a short stalk, I was able to arrow a javelina at 30 yards broadside. 10 yards later the animal lay motionless. A quick and clean kill. So, here it is. Spring Hunting Season – Episode 1. Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE to my Youtube channel if you like what you see. Enjoy!
In the coming months, I’ll be continuing this video series as I start to scout for black bears here in Arizona. I drew an archery spring bear hunt this year, and can’t wait to get out to have a look around. If you know anything about me, you know I love bowhunting and black bears. Put the two together and I’m a happy hunter! I’ll be trying to document my progress as much as possible. Backcountry hunts are planned, trail camera adventures, and hopefully a big Arizona Black Bear with my tag wrapped around it! This is gonna be fun and I can’t wait to share the journey.
On top of this new series, I’ll also be trying to write up some of my hunts from 2019. Forgive me for the delay. Of course I’ll also be on the lookout for new gear items to review as well. I’ll be heading to the Western Hunting Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah coming up here next week, so I’ll have my eyes peeled for new toys. I’m hoping to bring you all some coverage from that event as well. 2020 is here. Let’s make it a good one!
