Way to go Terry! Fine hog and story. I don't know how Keith does it - I can't get from the house to the truck without getting mud from head to toe, much less drag a hog through the jungle and come out looking like that.

Nice work Terry and thank you for taking the time to share this hunt with us!

So...what do you estimate the distance from the shot to the recovery was on this boar-lookin' sow?  And was the shot all liver?

I can't believe you guys ran out of water? I bet you wish you had a cooler full of corona's in the truck when you got her loaded. Keith has that kinda"It's Miller Time" look in the pic. great story. Don

Dang Terry you need to come hunt with us.  We'll teach you to bone the game out at the kill spot and pack out only what you are going to eat.  A 150# hog becomes two packs of 45# and a lot less sweat.

Anybody want to show your fellow bowmen how to bone out at the kill site? Sounds like a good how to.

HA Mike!!!...hard to do when you can't even keep up with a knife.    :knothead:

 I didn't think it was that big, and besides, we are still young and strappin!!!  One day we wont be able to do those things ya know.  

I'm usually better prepared when I bear hunt up there during the regular hunting season.

Funny hearing Terry say he forgot his knife....it seems he is always looking for something, forgot something, or just plain scramblin'     :notworthy:

Yeah Curt...at times it sure seems I run my life by the seat of my pants!!!

Shinkin, it really wasn't that far as the crow flys, and all but 40 yards was steep down hill.  I didn't inspect the gut pile as I was more worried about saving the meat.

I think the haul out was great for Keith as well, as he's never done anything quite like that.  He said that whole hunt would be good conversation when we are in a nursing home.

Thanks for the comments guys...it was a fun hunt and recovery.

Congrats on a fine hog Terry ! Give us some more details on the hit and performance of the Abowyer head ??? DW and Sky have always told me you cannot hit a hog to far forward.
