Title: First hunt back in Texas.......
Post by: SAM E. STEPHENS on October 05, 2012, 03:49:00 PM

This is pic heavy and I will do a story also , Back home from 35 days in Idaho and my first hunt back home was a good one. Stalked this hog this morning while he was in a wallow and got a good arrow in him. He ended up in the tank and with some help from my in-laws we got him on dry land...
