DAS takes a nice Boar on Shiloh
« on: January 09, 2007, 05:38:00 PM »


Took him with my Master Hunter, 56# @ 30" Win Ex Mediums, G5 Montec broadhead on the end of a 31" Gold Tip 55/75, with a total weight of 420 grains.  18 yard broadside shot, both lungs and the top of the heart, complete pass through, and a 60 yard recovery.

Just thought I'd share last weekends success with you all!

Best, Jeff.

Cheryl said he was 8 or 9 years old and should normally be right in the 350# range.  But, he was way run down from chasing sows and fighting, he had absolutely no fat what so ever on him!  As is, he weighed 205 lbs and was well over 8 feet long from nose to end of hoof hanging there.

Congrats Jeff! With your draw, what's that 420gr doing...about 210fps?

I don't know for sure JC, haven't run it through a chrono.  Plenty fast though!  ;)

Goes to show ya that arrow weight is all relative, if ya have great shot placement and even without, I think ya would get great penetration with that combo. Nice Pig!! Shawn

Nice hog!!! Must have been a real adrenaline moment. That DAS sure put it down.

 I can't totally tell by the picture, but do you have a sight on your bow? Not that it takes anything whatsoever away from the experience either way, I was just wondering.

No sight, I'm not against them either, just don't happen to use them.

He does have a real nice set of tusks, literally this is the only picture I have of him right now.  Another fella in camp took some nice digitals, but is having difficulty getting them shipped.  Some kind of technical difficulty...  I'll post some more when I get them.

Thanks again all!
