I eased into the bottom and was looking at all the blooms and pig sign most everywhere. I snapped a couple of pics of some purty flowers and such..
I got to the edge of a fairly open rise and a Turkey hammered. It was only maybe 100 yards away. I quickly got my gloves and mask on and looked for a spot to set up. I got behind two big trees and had some bushes to my back. I decided to stand till I saw what he would do. Its been my experience that a bird that gobbles Mid Day will usually come on in. I think he heard me walking and sounded off at that in the beginning. I let out a few soft clucks and he jumped on it. I yelped right back and he interupted me..rude joker..lol. I could here him walking and caught movement to my left. I was set up perfect to shoot on that side. He hit an opening at 18 yards and I MISSED!!! Shot just over his back.Public land Birds down here don`t give fellers that can`t shoot another chance so I started hunting for my arrow. It surely was bent or something....
Never did find the arrow. I checked the time and it was 2:20. Heard the bird and had him close enough to MISS in under 5 minutes.Sent my Buddy MudFeather a text about the deal cause even though I missed it was a whole lotta fun.I`m shooting his Wesley till my Cheetah gets here in a few weeks. Love them Hill bows.
I made a loop thinking I may find some pork and was yelping every little while when I heard a big limb break. Then I heard some water slosh and some grunting..oh yeah..
I glimpse the porkers in the edge of the swamp where its kinda thick. I check the wind and back out and almost run to get in front of them. I ease into the drain and start for the pork. I begin to see them headed for me so I decide to wait it out. I`m kneeled down in some tall grass...prime cottonmouth ground and got my eye on a nice sow headed my way. At 15 yards she turns sideways and the Wesley Special does what its supposed to do. I see feathers dissappear and hogs go everywhere. I thought there were maybe 4 or 5 but there were two or three times that.Everything calms and I ease over to check for sign. I was in grass and leaning over steep from my knees with the bow horizontal to keep from getting busted . Not your standing in the yard kinda shot but It went bout where I was looking..
At the scene
A closer look...
And about 60 yards away..a fine sow. Killed with Mudfeathers 66" 53@27 Wesley Special..thanks Brother and a 2016 with a homemade single bevel Magnus I broadhead.Death and destruction.
The Good Lord continues to bless me and I thank him for it.RC
