three bow kills 1 evening!
 

HERE IS THE STORY.

I WENT OUT HUNTING YESTERDAY AND ON THE WAY TO THE STAND I HEARD SOMETHING AHEAD OF ME IN THE BUSHES. I STARTED CLIMBING UP THE LADDER STAND GOT ALMOST TO THE TOP AND COULD SEE THE BUSHES MOVING AND A HOG GRUNTING ABOUT 35 YARDS AWAY IN THICK COVER. I DIDN'T WANT TO SPOOK IT SO I JUST DECIDED TO STAY RIGHT THERE AND SHOOT. AS IT GOT ABOUT 5 YARDS CLOSER MY LEFT LEGS STARTED TO GO SHAKE AND GO UP AND DOWN LIKE I WAS TAP DANCING. I HAD TO GO AHEAD AND CLIMB TO THE TOP AND SIT DOWN. AS SOON AS I DID IT WASN'T BUT A MINUTE THE HOG CAME INTO AN OPENING 20 YARDS AWAY AND OFFERED A PERFECT BROAD SIDE SHOT. I LET THE ARROW FLY....PERFECT HIT!
I SAT RIGHT THERE KNOWING I HIT IT GOOD AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES LATER I HAD 3 MORE HOGS COMING IN TO MY RIGHT, I LET THE FIRST ONE COME IN AND I SHOT IT AT ABOUT 15 YARDS. IT RAN 20 YARDS AND DROPPED. I SAT THERE A FEW MORE MINUTES AND ANOTHER GROUP OF HOGS WERE COMING TO THE STAND THIS TIME ANOTHER 20 YARD SHOT QUARTERING AWAY. I HAD TO AIM A LITTLE FURTHER BACK BUT I SHOT AND SAW THE ARROW STICKING OUT JUST BEHIND THE LEFT SHOULDER. IT FELL ABOUT 10 FOOT FROM THE OTHER HOG. I ONLY HAD ONE ARROW LEFT AND WATCHED A 30 lb HOG FOR A LITTLE WHILE BUT DIDN'T THINK IT WAS BIG ENOUGH TO SHOOT. I GOT DOWN AFTER ONLY ABOUT 45 MINUTES ON THE STAND AND STARTED TO TRACK THE FIRST HOG.(I WAS BY MYSELF) I FOUND MY ARROW AND FOUND THE BLOOD TRAIL AND WENT TO THE TRUCK TO CALL MY BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HE WAS ALREADY THERE, HE HELPED ME TRACK IT, (ONLY 40 YARDS) BUT BOY WAS HE A HELP IN THE DRAGGING.
THE HOGS WEIGHED AROUND 90 lbs A PIECE SO THEY ARE GOOD EATING SIZE. I WAS PLEASED WITH THE PEFORMANCE OF THE THUNDERHEAD 100 GRAIN BROADHEADS!
WHILE TRACKING THE FIRST HOG WE WATCHED ANOTHER HOG WALK BY, THEN WHEN WE GOT TO THE OTHER TWO, TWO MORE CAME UP ON US.
THE HOGS WERE OUT THIS AFTERNOON FOR SURE.

I TOOK SOME PICTURES, SO I WILL POST THEM WHEN THEY GET DEVELOPED.

Wow, talk about a busy hunt. Congrats! I've never had wild hog meat but i've heard it is great. Ever make jerky out of them?

Man, gonna get lots more practice butchering those hogs, huh?

Congrads, sounds like a fantastic hunting evening!

I know people think they're a nuisance and all, but I would love to have some hogs around here in Missouri. I got a chance to hunt 'em a while back in Alabama, and I had a blast! Doubled my chances of seeing something to shoot. I didn't care if a deer or a hog came by.

Discipline -- not desire -- determines destiny.

Sounds like a great hunt, congrats!!!

Good shooting PC. The incredible part is that they all went down in less than 40 yards. I'd say your bow shooting skills are up to par.

Man, your next hunt is going to be boring as hell.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
