It is the rainy season here and normally I do not do much hunting cause it is so wet. The last few days though, the pigs have been feeding like crazy in the jungle behind my house. Been seeing 8 or 10 almost every day but would be gone by the time I got geared up to go after them.
This morning as soon as I got up around 7:00 I strung the Robertson and laid it on the bed. Sure enough about 8:30 I hear them feeding so I grab the bow and one arrow with a 4 blade on it and sneak into the jungle.
About 20 yards in I see them feeding under a soursap tree. No shooting lanes though but had good cover and what wind there was came into my face. So slowly put the sneak on them. Got within three steps, that is right three steps and this 60lb sow was quartering away, head down and rooting. Picked my spot. Do not remember drawing my bow, heard a squeal and all heck broke loose,pigs running everywhere, yep the arrow went right where I was looking.
Got real quiet real quick. I backed out to get my hawk to cut my way through to look for her.
My bro from Texas called while I was getting the hawk so had to talk to him for a bit, then said goodby to go look for the pig before all the blood was washed away.
Found my arrow completely covered in bright red blood and started tracking. Now this area is real muddy and the pigs have the entire area rooted up, footing was slicker than snot. Followed blood for about fifteen yards and then it stopped where two trails came together. Took up one trail with pig prints that appeared to be running followed it for a good bit, no blood.
Turned around and went back to last blood, I knew this pig was dead and I was determined to find her. Do not know how many spiders I ate going through the thick stuf but had several on my face, I hate spiders, especially these big banana spiders that are all over the place here, screamed like a sissy a few times,LOL.Took the other trail and sure enough within 20 yards started finding good blood. Went about 200 yards and there she was, died in the steepest slickest part. I must have fell down 20 times looking for her. Took off my belt and put it around her neck and proceded to drag her out. By the time I got her to the house it was time to get ready for work and I was wore plum out, but very satisfied.
Called my wifes cousin and he came over and took the pig to clean it since I had to get to work. Good family, LOL.
I took some pics and will post them here tomorrow.
