Robertson County, TX is minus a hog.
« on: April 28, 2008, 06:01:00 PM »
I don't get to post pics of dead things often so here's my big chance.   In short, the weather was hot and my sciatic nerve was killing me but I still managed to pull off a 15yd running shot on this piggie.  After a brief face off at 10yds, while I tried to remain still and not blow my cover, she knew something was wrong and decided to make a break for it.  I was already at half draw during the show down so getting to anchor took no time.  The arrow went in through one of the last ribs and exited behind the opposite shoulder.  4 seconds on it's feet and the game was over.  Robertson   bow, POC shaft, 190gr ribtek.

Do the wine bottles help cool the pork? or does the pork help cool the wine? Good job, thanks for sharing. Enjoy your harvest!

Yeah, we had to gut the bottom half of the fridge to get the meat in there.  Hanging outside in 80 degrees just wasn't going to work.  We put the wine there cuz there wasn't any where else to put it. Then I thought, "hey this would make a nice photo."  

I just got orders from my wife, who helped me drag the critter out of the brush, that I need to get some brisket marinade on another roast.

Nice job Ursus,     :saywhat:    

I hear there is no known queers once this affliction has got you, you can only feed this addiction with more hog hunting.    :goldtooth:
