Florida Hog Down MORE PICS
« on: February 07, 2011, 01:59:00 PM »
I had a great hunt this past weekend with my buddy Irv from WI at my friend Terry's lease. The acorns were really dropping which made hunting over feeders pretty tough.Even the small live oaks were dropping.
I was seeing some hogs rooting but not coming in with all of the readily available mast.
Terry was able to connect the first evening on the only hog he saw.He made a great heart shot and watched it go down.
Irv and I were having less luck but Saturday evening that would change...

From my stand, I was seeing some hogs in the pasture rooting around, they were off the lease and thereby off limits. Perfect conditions for a stalk,too.Got some video,though.
After lunch and some pinecone shooting in camp, we returned to the stands.
A drowsy hour passed on stand, still nothing, not even a squirrel.Just a couple of doves that kept busting me everytime I moved.
As the sun started setting, I heard something big coming through the palmettos.........

The wind had died down and I could hear something coming through the thick cover behind the stand. Too big to be an armadillo or squirrel, but I couldn't see anything where the sounds were coming from (that are now only yards from the stand)?
Finally, I see a hog coming through the palmetto fronds, with two more behind it.
Instead of going straight to the corn, they go around to the "wrong" side heading for a fence crossing.
Oh no, I thought, eight yards away and no shot through the limbs!Video camera was on the wrong side,too.
The lead boar turns around and charges the closest hog giving me the chance I needed......
Be back soon, I promise.    Foggy morning.

The hogs were moving around and looked about ready to fight when I started my draw on the closest boar.
The bigger boar pushed him, and as he did, moved into my small shooting lane(more like a hole through the limbs). I focused on the bigger boar and shot. He took a step as the arrow was flying and it took him through the neck where it joins the body. Lots of blood came out and he tore out of there, crossed a fence and stopped at around 75 yards. He was staggering around and his hindquarters were failing.
I quickly got down and made my way over to him(downwind!)Truth be told, I thought he might charge me. When I came around some trees he was on his side and kicking. I put in a finishing shot and took a recovery video with the little camera light I had left.
