I think I can be of help there. That, good sirs, is an extra wipey. When I go into the woods after the voracious and terrifying wild boar I always have one or two on hand...for when I miss, that way I can clean myself up afterwards, assuming I survive the encounter, and don't have to explain to my wife that under extreme pressure and stress, (i.e. like being charged by enraged feral swine) this mighty hunter, fouls himself. Or it could be for wind direction. Thats what I say when people ask me what they are for. Then when I come back to camp without them, I say,"they blew away, too windy for hunting."

Al, that's the very rare and reclusive Swap Rooter Bow...built by Joe Buck here on Tradgang. Rumor has it, you don't even have to shoot a hog with it...you just wave it in their general direction and they fall over. Just what Biggie needs    :p  

Danny, I'll bet it's "Paradise".

Biggie, I'm in on the property Grady called about...What sold me was when he said 4 free guided hunts by you were included. I'll call you with my available dates. Oh yeah, nice hog!

That is a big one - the pig ain't bad either.  The bow is a Great Northern and is beautiful and obviously effective.   The hog weighted about 120 pounds and the expert photographer (that would be me. .lol) made it look big compared to that scary-looking monster hunter behind it.   It is was a good-looking hog and was a great hunt.

I was going to say that looks like the "Paradise."  Now even more so since Matt took the picture, since I think he lives on the place!  ;)

Nice hog Biggie, congrats!

WOW  that pig looks about the same size as the one we saw dead on the side of the road between Mexia and Worthan on State rd.27. Car that hit it didnt do much better either.

Man my fingers are all sticky....bar-b-que sauce you know.
Not much of a story really. I shot him, he went about 80 yards and laid down....

Oh yeah, he got up though and after a short "chase" I finished him. Not the one shot one kill scenario that I espouse, but if you do this long enough, it happens.

As far as the bandage on the Swamp Rooter, I sat on my stool the night before and had some turkeys walk up to within 5 yards of me. They picked me out though and walked off. Since I had my ghullie suit on including the hat, I figgered the stright lines of the bowlimbs must be what they saw. That is a most feeble attempt to break up that outline.
See? I told ya'll I am not a craftsman.......

Nice piggy! I'm figurin the turkeys smelled the BBQ sauce and knew it was time to split before they ended up on Biggie's menue.

Post by: Swamp Pygmy on November 26, 2008, 11:53:00 AM
@Biggie.

I keep a couple rubber bands rolled onto my bow limb to help stop my quiver from sliding out of position. But it also helps alot because it's a ready made blind. Just slip brush between a loop of the rubber bands from wherever you are sittin and you are ready to go.

JV you're a thread killin son-of-a-gun.....

George, your ribs should be there any day...watch the mail.

Wanted to mention that I gave in to all of you FOC guys. I finally moved up to the 220 grain Muzzy Phantom. With the bleeders of course, making it literally a 4 blade. It made a devastating hole. Even Matt commented on it.
