I guess since the hunt was called the Laredo Tusk Roundup, I can show  the dental work that I encountered.  My neighbor said she wanted the skulls, so I got them started for her.

The story unfolding is also an educational one as it was the worst 'double lung' I've ever experienced....

So, now LTR2 brought about hog opportunities ....

PDK was interested in hunting hogs at night so I told him the details of 2 ponds and after his 1st morning's javie kill away he went....

He had gotten all set up on day two in 2.  We were ready.  I was excited at getting a crack on hogs at night after directing javie traffic all day.  Too much fun both day and night let me tell ya.

After PDK took his 1st hog, it was my turn...

Patrick let me out about 500 yards away from the 'tank' Smokin Joe and I had been running laps around two weeks ago to tag ourselves out on javies. So, LTR1 had provided me with a very intimate knowledge of the terrain, and I had two options for approach and of course took the best for the breeze....

NOTE TO SELF!!!  Next time wear Kevlar suit!!!  Bring power loppers!!!  Paracord string silencers make a really quiet bow.  The Ribtek ended up in the wrong target, I'll let Terry explain.

After a very brisk 350 scurry, I slowed my pace to the split distance.  The next 50 would be slow and easy, till the last 25.... slow as molasses in winter...

I could hear grass tearing and hysterical smacking from what turned out to be two nice hogs, along with 4 masked bandits. I eases and eased and cheated as close as I felt I could and assessed the ongoings in front of me.....

Ok, so the 4 bandidos were at 2 o'clock and 8 to 12 yards away, and the hogs were 17ish with their hams seemingly touching. One perfectly broadside facing left with front leg slightly back, and the other almost facing me but quartering left also crowding the shot. The shot was there but narrow, and if porky raised its head all bets were off.

Low and behold the one almost facing me made an adjustment to my right and in reaction the broadside on leveled up its stance.  Now all was perfect....

I have never used a lighted nock hunting before but was amazing to watch my arrow impact exactly where I was looking with a very audible crack.....

The swine swung, swapping ends, and was off.  Blistering to my right and it's partner to the left.  The dash was short and ended with a snap-crackle n pop.  I could hear labored breathing and grunts, but no more forward progress.  Seconds later, silence....

I stood motionless and trying not to hear my own breathing for fear of missing a sound, yet none came.
After the long pause of silence, by less than a handful of minutes, the quartering to wind began to quarter away I knew I had to bail out and quick....just in case.

I eased out much quicker than I came in for a couple of dozen yards then changed to a normal pace back to Patrick.  After explaining to him the event, unbeknownst to me, Patrick had captured a moment in time of the event and showed me mere seconds before the woods exploded.....

Unbelievable!!!

I was in complete awe and fascination that I was viewing the last frame I saw with my eyes at release.  I still cannot belive it.  It's something that will never happen to me again.  Wow.... just WOW!
