A Coconut Hog
« on: January 01, 2007, 10:57:00 PM »
Got an early morning hunt in an old cocnut plantation and came upon this hog opening coconuts....

 

I'd like to thank Frank, (Sticshooter), as he sent me this bow to use, ( I'm bowless  :knothead:   don't ask  :banghead:  ) and also thankyou to the fellow Tradganger that made this bow
 I don't know his name but the maker of this bow is a man that knows his business! This a sweet shooting bow! Like it was custom made for me  :)  

Thank you Gentlemen !

Jerry

I gotta ask Frank who made this bow...I think he said the man was from Utah but I'm not sure...

I was shooting some poc with 125 grain Ribtek BH.I ground hunt...love to stalk... The shot was about 18 yards through both lungs and about a 40 yard track.....it was my lucky day cuz as he ran he ran toward a coral road allowing me to drive within yards of him  :D

You can't really see it in the picture but this pig has a white stripe from the top of his head to the tip of his nose. His right ear is torn in half..most likely from an encounter with hunting dogs. He has a bunch of old battle scars....alot of character, he'd been around... so my buddy and I caped him out..he'll make a beautiful mount one day  :D

Don't Know Jerry. Been trying for a while but just cannot get a transfer. Hopefully when I make supervisor I will be sent to Hawaii for a couple of weeks of training. If so you can bet I will bring a bow with.

Jerry,
Long time no see!  How you doing building bows?  Nice hog!  Hey I ran into a mutual friend,  Homer.  He was my hunting mentor for years.  Awesome going on the hog.
