The hog weighed somewhere between 125-140#. Hard to tell weight on hogs sometime. This one was a little heavy for his frame. He had so much fat on him that he was had to gut. The gut cavity was half fat.
Snuffers on hogs? Humm, How to put this lightly?????I'll try this snuffer again but the hole wasn't very deep with the first hog. The 160 is an enormous head and I really don't shoot enought bow weight to get a through and through hole like I like. It sure makes a big hole but even this hole filled up with fat and bearly left a blood trail. Not the broadheads fault but instead the fat hogs fault. For the best hog blood trails I still say the big two blades getting an offside exit hole is the way to go. Of course it's the personal decisions in this sport that make us all individually different(in a good way).
Truth comes out......This is actually the second hog Hope has killed since her arrival here. What Charlie is talking about when he says "where's the sandwich". I had a Sow with a bunch of small hogs come through twice the other night. I couldn't bring myself to orphan the small pigs but I didn't want to loose the opportunity to have Hope make meat so I shot a small pig. I didn't think the pics would go over well on-line so I didn't take even one picture. Sure is going to make some fantastic grilling though. So, the rest of the story........
I'll be after a giant Boar this evening. My wife watched him and about 35 other hogs last night mulling around in a creek bottom close to where she was hunting. She couldn't get a clean shot so I'm going in this evening and see what I can make happen. I'll put the snuffer back up front on Harl's last carbon arrow. Hopefully pics by nightfall. Thanks for the positive comments! CK
