Thanks guys, The full moon seemed to play some tricks early in the hunt but Jim and Irv do a great job, and had me move around till we found the hogs.
Saturday evening I was on a stand in an area I think Jim called the oaks. Jim warned me the hogs could come from a few different directions but to particularly watch the area behind me. At about 6:30pm I saw a smaller brown and black boar behind me.
My wife was sitting with me so I told her to turn the video camera on. As the group came in view I saw there were 4 boars. Two were smaller brown and black and the other two were all black. The one I shot was the largest in the group. Well they all eventually made it to the feeder and doing what pigs do they pushed each other around while they fed. After a while this guy gave me the proper angle and I shot. The hit was good and I saw him go down about 50 yards away.
A couple things made this a special hunt. First my wife sat with me and shot the video and I harvested this boar with a arrow tipped with one of Fred Kasch's Zwickey broad heads. The guys from the WTA and most who have attended Cloverdale, Compton, Mojam or GLLI probably remember Fred.
I can't say enough about Jim and Irv from True South Adventures. With the winter we had this year my wife and I needed some warm weather. TSA had donated a hunt to WTA (WI Trad Archers)and it got me thinking about hunting in FL. I knew TSA had great references, so going with them was an easy choice.
Thanks Irv and Jim.
I think I will post this on PowWow for more views.
