When we got back to camp after dark, Michael (sunnyhill archer) was there. His lease is right next door and he had ran down for a quick hunt before heading to PBS on friday. It was nice to finally meet him. We talked over our up comming St Judes turkey hunt and ate some great alligater stew that cory had cooked. Then it was over to the gambrel for the official weighin.
Michael said "163" Cory thought 176, john gave it around 185. My back said 350.
Largest hog i've taken so far.
Cory's pig with the bow I made him
Cory shot his with a 60lb longbow, 2036 shafts and simmons treeshark head. 30yd recovery and a big hole.
I used a 46lb addiction recurve, axis 500 shafts , abowyer brownbear head, My head never made it out the other side of the pig. It was through to offside shoulder, just did'nt have quite enough gas left to punch through the thick hide on the far side. The broadhead would still shave hair when I took it out of the hog.He made it 25 yards and died.
All in all a great hunt. Thanks to Cory for the invite and John for the company on the trip. thanks for looking. Don Batten
