Looks like a great trip. Im hoping to go down next year

Did they cook up some Javelina for you? I heard the locals know how to cook it up good

I was hoping to try the javelina but the vaquero's grabbed them and took off, never saw the javelina again. I thought we were going to get some, but I guess not.  I wasn't super happy about that but I guess that's the way they do things and it's expected by the locals.   I kind of wanted the skull of the big one also, but they language barrier kinda got me there also.

Looks like a lot of fun. Congratulations on a beautiful buck. They certainly are a pretty whitetail with big ears, almost like a muley.

From what I could tell, it was decent buck.... but Jesus... some of the pics the vaquero had shown me were unreal.  There are some true monsters in that area.
