Just returned fro a week in the Hill Country of central Texas. Five UBI members from Illinois. Things were a little slow at first, but by Wednesday and Thursday we had more action. I took a nice fat boar on Wednesday evening. Two other nice sized pigs were shot Thursday evening and recovered Friday morning. A good time was had by all.
My pig came by about an hour before sun down and stopped at around ten yards to pick up a few kernels of corn I had thrown out on the trail. I was sitting on a three legged chair in the bushes and was caught off guard with my reading glasses on, reading a book. I had to set everything down and pick up my bow when he turned away, and took the shot sitting down when he turned broadside. I got full penetration with a 225 grain Tuff Head on a sitka spruce wood arrow. Total weight 650 grains. 45# Black Rhino takedown. Got full penetration through both sides of the shields and he crashed after just 40 yards and death moaned/ squealed. All over in less than 10 seconds.
