:notworthy:    :notworthy:    :notworthy:  Outstanding on all counts Rob. Ha! I killed one pig with two arrows- you guys kill two pigs with one arrow- I've gotta start reading the instructions, LOL. Maybe I can eavesdrop on you and Thomas in Nashville. Congratulations!  Grant

Guru is right, it was My buddy Kevin Shea, somebody was heard around the fire later  saying that it "must have been a bad shot that turned lucky because you can't make a good shot and have that happen"  or something like that but looks like you proved that wrong, looked like an awesome shot to me !
 Will definantly miss you at the PBS, let's keep in touch and hunt together again sometime.

Thomas I must have head Barry wrong, but you are still the hog man.  Whitey was on purpose but the brown hog was just plain lucky. I never even saw that hog there until it was running away with my arrow hanging out of it's side.

The fact that the shot went through both chest cavities was again all luck. I should probably change my thinking and say I waited until they were perfectly lined up and that I was trying for the double. Nah, it is what is and I just had the gods of the hunt with me.

I will finish up the hunt from my view tomorrow evening... thanks to everyone for the kinds words and for reading my story.

paleFace- Can you post some pictures of my brother Mark Mitten's boar. He said it had good tusks, but I'm not so sure. Ha!  Also, Mark said you wore a nice arrow head around your neck, do you have any photos of that?  Nice stories! Mike

Great story and adventures.  A double is fantastic and certainly a rare event .  Congratulations.

Hey Rob,  Congrats man...  I guess practicing at Denton Hill on ground hogs was just the ticket:
