Ever have on e of those days where you would forget your head if it were not attached? Well I had one yesterday. I walked out without my boots my hat or my camera. It was a miracle I remembered my bow!!!!

As a result there won't be a lot of pics in this thread, which is a shame because the blood trails were both educational.


I went to the same stand I was in 2 weeks ago. The feeder went off and nothing was happening so I got down and went to another one that I knew had not gone off yet. Before I got anywhere close I could hear the squealing. The wind was howling so I could get away with a lot. I was about 30 yards out when the feeder went off. I was able to cut the distance another 10 yards. There were 2 sows and 7 pigs about 20 lbs apiece. The sows were both dry.


I made it another 5 yards and then waited for a shot.

They finally got settled and I drilled the smaller sow.

Within 30 seconds the remaining hogs were back at the feeder. I had one small window to shoot through and hit a branch. I got lucky and hit the femoral artery. The sow turned around and I could see blood spurting out both sides.


You can see the hole in her ham...

I'm envious. Don't have that kind of hunting round here. Guess I should be careful what I wish for. Guess those critters can be a real nuisance.

Nice job!  

I just had fresh backstraps in the slow cooker last night.  I wish my hunting spot was a little closer.  That 16-18 hour drive from MN to TX is a killer.
