Great to see my Aussie "mate" showing a bit of his well-deserved bag.

A lot of the pig country here is "bigger than Texas" and many miles might be walked to keep up with a mob.Same for goats.

20,000Acre paddocks are common but of course neither the pigs nor goats observe fences so we have to try and outthink them.FWD's are useless in much of this terrain because of the sandiness of the soil..and if it rains..forget it.
 Cheers  Longshot and good hunting

Finally! Good to see those pictures after hearing about the stories! Ben Maher is a deadly shot - he shot a flying crow out of the sky! Keep up the good work, Ben!

Please, share the specs on your Hill bow. I've  got 2. 1 is 68" and 50#@28". The 2nd one is 66" around 48#@28". Hoping to get a 3rd one soon. Looking at 68" and 43#@29". Just got to wait for Christmas to get over.   :bigsmyl:

I would also like to hear about your Hill. I shoot a "Wild Boar", 66", 57@28. Took a nice whitetail with it in October. Strongly considering geting another. Congrats and "Keep'um Sharp".

my bow specs tend to be around the 52# @ 27" and my bows are all 68"s. Mostly 1 pce with a couple of t/d's Glad you fellows enjoyed 'em. I've got a bunch more to post,just a matter of sorting through them! There's more hogs,goats,heaps of foxes,a coupie of rabbits and maybe an antlered critter....                  
Nam95...welcome to the 'gang! Any success i've had afield i owe to your patient tutoring! Now dump that Ruger No 1 and string your bow!                                  
Mr Kleinig...knew i'd get round to posting some eventually! Know we need to get some pics of you over a Sambar and me over a couple of your northern hogs...or perhaps the 'burro'. Ben
