Pics with no tags on the bucks in CA

[bpnclark]

Never, ever call Javelinas, pigs.
Always attach a tag before any pictures.
Use paragraphs.
Spell words right.
Don’t Road hunt.
Don’t refer to members as clowns.
Don’t drink a beer in a picture.
Don’t shoot fawns or little pigs.
Don’t block the road when you’re hunting.

That’s what I learned in 2008.

Sleeveless shirts = more dead animals.

Don't forget all issues are to be seen as black and white.

-Javelinas are rodents, not even related to pigs.
-Following the law, sometimes a little gray.
-proper English does help get your point across.
-call a spade a spade, just remember what opinions are like.
-Beer taste good.
-Why would you shoot a fawn? Little pigs taste good too.
-If you don't block the road, someone might follow you to your honey hole....I use cones.
-Oh yeah........deer have antlers.

What was this post about?

Really ! strangest, largest squirrel I've ever seen.
I hope you're kidding and not buying into what some evolution book claims.
Nose, hooves, teeth=pig
just because they have a scent gland, and ears like an oppossum doesn't mean they ain't in the pig family.

[weekender21]

nope, they are not related to pigs...look it up. There are no pig species native to North America. Javelinas are native to the South West. Not that I really care, call them what you want, they certainly look like pigs.

[upper]

species is finite,research the genus ,maybe the Family.Let us know we'll Tag along.I would do the study for you but then it would be about me.Happy new year I am in and done at 10 PM................... Upper

I thought sleeveless shirts meant you could shoot bobcats out of season.

All about the Javelina! Again, the fact they aren't related to pigs is a technicality in my book but good info to know either way.

[jesunter]

Anybody out on a bounty hunt for Rancho Loco should take another look at the terrain he stalked that deer through, making a perfect shot with a bow.

[upper]

Weekender,tell me now,how can you be in the same Family and not be related?Even a Redneck can't answer that.Can't wait to see who try's,............Upper

[Common Sense]

I got several people in my family that I always tell everyone that we are not related.

[bpnclark]

Javelinas are pigs.
Whales are fish.
Bigfoot is a man in a monkey suit.
And Maury said "You are not the father!"

Things I learned in 2009

[upper]

Ok, back on topic,who here or someone in their family has lost a tag off their buck?Come on you non taggers lets here some stories.I think the fear of loosing a tag is a bad fobia,and there is just no help out there for ya..................Upper

[Flatbroke]

Upper, I seem to have the reverse problem, I lose the buck after the shot (missed) and still have the tag. Got quite a collection.

[weekender21]

-Upper, did you click that link? The Javelina isn't in the same family, or related.

-I haven't ever lost a tag but I have put one in my pocket to avoid loosing it; properly filled out of course. I guess if I could remember the materials necessary to properly attach the tag I wouldn't have a problem.

Oh yeah, I need to start shooting them closer to the road too.

[upper]

Boy oh boy did I make a mistake,Tagonomy speaking,or is it taxonimy speaking,they are in the same Order not Family.Ever kill a hippo of a peccary?.....And Flatbroke that is funny ,clown funny upper

Anybody have any old picyures of Salmon with tags on them?That would be slickkk..............Upper

Don't believe everything you read. Just because some Darwinian prints something, doesn't make it so.
In MY BOOK, it's a skinny pig with 3 hind toes instead of 4. How could it be anything else ?
You could travel the world with a javelina and ask anybody, anywhere "what is it" and ALL would say it's a specie of pig. Only a darwinian could call it a rodent.

As for the lost tag. I have a friend who lost his CA antelope tag while packing it out. F&G accepted the report card as proof.
I just recently recieved a mulie, same circumstances, and a copy of the report card was acceptable as a tag for F&G.

Even though clowns scared the crap out of me as a kid there is no clown bashing allowed here.

Is it okay to bash a clown if we tag the ear immediately after bashing?

That would make him pig-headed, haven't you learned anything

[weekender21]

nice catch glass eye, you have been paying attention. Yes, that is a wild pig.....ya like?

[AZ Jim]

With all this controversy, I just have to know just how bad is this CA big game tag ?

What is it made of ? How does it attach ? Is it really that fragile ? Does anyone have a close up picture of one ? Has anyone ever proposed to CA's G&F dept. to upgrade the tag to a more durable one ? Is it really too ugly to be attached to the game ?


P.S. Oh, and eventhough the book calls them a rodent, javelinas are refered to as pigs in 99% of all hunting circles I know of, ........ and you tag them through the hind leg as soon as they are dead.

Making sure your game is dead before you tag it is the important part.

I am reminded of the story that is told around here in hunting camps, of the guy who shot a bull elk in unit 6A. He tags it, sets his new Browning rifle with sling through the antlers, gets behind to pose with the animal for the picture, and..... the elk stands up and runs away. The way the story is told he chased it for miles and never found the elk or his rifle. That would suck, no tag, no rifle, and probably ticketed for improperly tagging an animal.

[Speckmisser]

Well, I've sat on my heels this long on this thread...

AZ Jim, the CA tag really isn't that "fragile" at all. It's kind of big and clunky, and if it's not attached properly it'll come off in the brush, but they're decent card stock and can handle some strain. If I've got a long drag, I fill out the tag and keep it in my pocket. I don't usually drag anything any more, though, so I wrap the tag onto the antler (or leg, if it's a hog) with some bowstring I keep in my bag with my tags.

I am a little surprised that CA hasn't gone the route of some other states, like North Carolina, by installing an 800 number you can call and report your harvest. They give you a number, which is the equivalent of tag validation and allows you to possess the animal after harvest. You're still supposed to tag it, but once you call it in, if you have that number you're golden.

Oh, and love the point about making sure it's dead before you tag it!

[tylercreek2]

before u move it tag it, s'very simple, move it with no tag and say hi to a warden,,,,,, good luck with that
as far as the pic's its jesse's site end of story,,,, this thread makes me think it just might be the off season
