Somewhere soon I sense a dead animal!!!!

I was aiming dead center for the shoulder and a little low but had seen my arrow go slightly right of were I was looking.  About where you would want to shoot a deer, but I knew that a perfect shot would be just above the elbow.

The corn mixed with the blood on the ground told me that I had gotten some inards with my shot...and after playing the whole thing in my mind I had to assume that my "broadside shot" was actually slightly quartering too me...  :(  

But with all the blood and the crash I heard my excitement was still high!!  I realized I had probably gotten lung, liver, intestines...in that order.

After we came upon the blood with the corn mixed in we went a little further and lost the blood trail.......   :(  

I was not happy, I continued to look for 2 hours to find the pig....nothing.

That evening another hunter would sit that stand and shoot a pig, while the guide was tracking that pig he came upon the blood with the corn, looked around and not 10 yards from that very spot was MY HOG!!!!      

MY FIRST EVER TRADITIONAL HARVEST:
DRYAD Windtalker Bow Blank, Magnus 2 blade, 2018 shafts

He came back to camp and let me know, I was absolutely stoked!!

Becasue of the cool temperatures the hog meat was still good.  Upon skinning the animal I got to examine the entry and exit holes made by the 2-blade Magnus...

Congrats! Hogs on corn are tough to shoot since they never stand still, at least for me. LOL I do the same thing you do with the corn, i make a little pile at 10 yards hoping one will come closer. Congrats again and believe me you are hooked now!

Mint,
I try to bring them closer but it dosn't always work...when they do come closer it sure does get my nerves going...

Deadpool,
The bow weight is 53 to 54#s at my 28inch draw.

Thanks Littlefeather...it was an awesome experience to say the least.
