Hog #22 for 2020
« on: August 31, 2020, 12:30:24 AM »
Had a couple small ones come in just before dark.   Shot was a touch over 15 yards, and the pig didn't go much further than that.   Still got the Kelpie out for some work.  Same TallTines Stickflinger and vpa 3 blades.

Sweet!  That's a pretty bow as well.
I can afford to shoot most any bow I like.  And I like Primal Tech bows.

Thanks guys. It is sometimes a puzzle to figure out what they did after the release.

Quartering away, aiming on the low side in case it ducked.  Head down feeding but still rolled away from me a touch.   I have had this pattern of a higher exit wound a bunch of times.

Could they be rolling or spinning down and away?

I believe they are whirling and rolling more than ducking.   Wish I had video of it.

That’s what I was thinking spinning and rolling away.  Personally I have never had a pig duck a shot.

I have seen them duck on video by a feeder, and have seen them just bolt out to the front.

My 90+ hogs have never ducked, missed one once cause I shot it like a deer anticipating drop.

They have little stubby legs, so they don't drop as far.  This is a hog that did a little drop on a friend of mine, but I have seen worse.

My experience is limited, only have two at feeders.  Rest are spot and stalk.

Yeah, I probably have only shot 50 spot and stalk, so nowhere near the skillset of Robert Carter.  Maybe another 40 or 50 sitting at  feeders.  The rest were stalking up at feeders after they were settled in feeding.  I don't live in an area with big acreage for spot and stalk, so my hogs are ultra spooky from pressure.  Maybe your limited experience by feeders is why you haven't noticed them ducking.  Not sure.
