Dukats Journal of Hunting

Best of luck on the 2009 spring Arizona javelina season. Results have been posted online for several weeks and tags were mailed this week. This hunt is often overlooked by many in the hunting community, but the javelina is surprisingly difficult to tag, especially in the early primitive hunts.

For those interested in chasing the Collared Peccary, AZ Fish and Game has leftover tags that can be purchased. In particular, the archery hunt in Januray is a great time to be outdoors in the state, and gives hunters a reason to walk off some of the pounds added during the holidays. The hunt also corresponds with the archery deer season in many units, so hunters can hunt the two-fer.

Best of luck on the deer, javelina, turkey and bird seasons. Maybe I will see you in January in unit 22. I hope to post pictures of a successful hunt sometime early next year.
