Congratulations on your Dave Johnson bow. Mine has been with me on each trip to the woods this fall. Haven't been able to get it bloody yet but I sent this note to Dave:
Hope this note finds you and Pat doing well. I've had one opportunity to hunt this fall with Tahlequah, but haven't had the opportunity to loose an arrow as yet. Came close last Friday evening.
I was about 30 yards away watching a water hole that showed signs of hog activity. I was set up about 12 yards from a heavily traveled path back in a comfy little ground blind that I had built of dead limbs and brush. About 7:10pm I saw a lone hog come directly across an open field and head straight to the opposite side of the tank. Too far for a shot. A couple of minutes later, three more hogs including a couple of sows with eight little piggies not much larger than footballs followed. All went straight to the other side of the pond.
I watched them for a few minutes and noticed they were working their way around the pond towards my side. So, I decided to sneak down for a possible closer shot. There was considerable cover between me and the pond so I knew that if I stayed low to the ground I could get with 15 yards of the water and maybe have a good opportunity at "bringing home the bacon."
Just as I got set up, I heard this very loud snort and grunt. I knew I'd been had. Directly behind me stood a huge boar. I guessed him at about 275-300 pounds standing on the game trail that I'd been watching. He turned and ran back they way he'd come. With all the commotion the others ran the opposite direction. I could only stand there with Tahlequah and laugh at myself for being so stupid as to get busted like that.
Take care and tell your bride that Danny said "Hi".
And I got this reply from Dave:
THAT'S A GREAT STORY DANNY. GUESS YOU'LL JUST HAVE TO LEARN HOW TO CALL 'EM IN!
IT'S BEEN QUITE A WHILE SINCE I HEARD FROM SOMEONE WHO USED ONE OF MY BOWS TO HARVEST A WILD PIG, SO HANG IN THERE AND MAKE ME PROUD OF YOU.
PAT SENDS HER BEST WISHES TO YOU MY FRIEND, ALONG WITH MINE.
DAVE
As you can see my Dave Johnson is named "Tahlequah".
