Default My hog pic and story

Well, after a good day of turkey hunting we decided we would do a little hog hunting after dark on some private land. I poured out some soured corn and got in a ladder stand at about 10:45 pm. A few minutes later I heard some squealing coming from where my buddy was hunting. Another thirty minutes goes by and I heard some thundering hooves and snorts. In the darkness, I could see a massive wad of black movement. I let them eat for a minute or so on the soured corn, and then I drew back and touched the pressure switch for the light on my stabilizer and picked out a hog that was on the edge of bunch. I touched it off and heard the "thwack" followed by a squealing hog. I immediately picked up the spot light and I could see my reflective fletchings shining super bright going across the wheat field (see the photo). The back of the arrow fell out and the hog went about 20 more yards and piled up. He weighed somewhere in the 125 range. My setup was this:

2003 Razortec 71lbs
Easton Axis 340
New Eastman cut on contact 3-blade mech head. (Not the first cut)

Nice porker. Im going to have to give the light on the stabilizer trick a try. We do the old fashion spot light trick. Only problem, it take two people.
