Had a good time this weekend. Place: Choppers Wild Hog Adventures
www.birdsandboars.com in Hollister California.
I got parked about 4:00 or so and started into my spot i found a place that had some trails leading to a creek looked good so i ploped down in a rock pile about 4:30 and started my wait.
Here is where it gets good. About 5:10 a big black boar with a white band around his chest comes down the hill, starts to nose around and gets to about 15 yards from me, my heart is going of course, he turns quartering away and stands there as to say go ahead and shoot me if you can. I draw hit my anchor and zip it all felt good arrow was on its way to the sweet spot. Well right about the sound of the bow going off the boar dips his right sholder pushes off with his frount feet and #^$#$$#, missed by that much. It was a perfect shot the arrow went right where i wanted to, the pig was just not there when the arrow got there.
So now im trying to calm down and about 15 min later i hear noise behind me. I start to turn, get about half way around and im busted by a boar about 12 yards away i freeze and about 15 pigs come over the nobb. The one that busted me snorts and trots about 4 or 5 yards and stops. It looks like i have a shot at a black boar about 20 yards off and i decide to take it, Im getting ready to draw and they start to spook so i rush to draw and anchor and zip right over his back, this one was my bad, if i would have made a good shot there would have been one in the cooler the first night.
So now im trying to get my pulse down to a normal level. 20 min goes by and about 8 more hogs are on there way feeding right to me and we all know what happens now, the wind, it switches and there off to the races.
By now it starting to get dark and who do i see but the black boar with the white stripe, he decides he wants to try again, he feeds his way in behind a bush and tree about 8 yards from me, I am at half draw waiting for him to clear the tree and $%#&^%$ he spooks and is gone in a heart beet.
Its to dark to see so off to the truck i go and for the first 50 to 60 yards i can hear hogs all over the place. i get to the cabin and stories and food abound. Get to sleep and yes i dream about hogs.
Im up early and off i go back to my spot i get there a little late, its about 5:40, sun starts up and there is just enough light to see. I hear some noise comming and i stand up to get ready, as soon as this hog clears the trees he looks right at me, i freez he takes 2 steps and stares at me then 2 to 3 and looks again then he does it, 2 steps and stops with his head right behind a tree, I come to full draw he takes a few more steps and zip right through the good stuff, he turns runs right back up the hill, loops around comes back down and dies right in the middle of the road, THATS RIGHT 0 DRAG, got to love it. here is what he looks like:
