I was fortunate enough to draw first elk bow season (beginning of September) in New Mexico this year, and while I have taken elk with both rifle and muzzleloader before, this will be my first shot with a bow. Obviously I have my bow, I have bugle and cow calls and camo, etc., but my question is...
I don't see much on here about them, so wanted to share my New Mexico javelina. Used a solid copper Federal Premium V-Shok .22-250, which blew straight through him at 150 yards. He was a fun and different critter to hunt, and, for me, more of a novelty since less than 20 pounds of meat is not...
