OK so we've heard the story from start to finish. By now most have added up the kills and figured that someone did not score. That someone was I but, I’m not down or out. There will be other days and other hunts and we all no that every dog has its day. I was shooting very will. In camp each day I was shooting at a small piece of foam, a little larger then a golf ball, and was knocking the heck out of it. The only problem was I couldn't seem to get that piece of foam attached to the shoulder of the pigs. The only excuse I have is "hog fever" I shot just over the back each time. I think the adrenalin was flowing such that I was over pulling my draw maybe?? The misses were close but no cigar. There is no way I can describe the excitement of my first hog hunt. My heart in my throat each time pigs came into my area. The expectation each time I went into the blind to wait for the event. The thrills of my son making his first trad kill. It was a hunt I will always remember. Stories told, moments shared, advice exchanged and encouragement offered by all to all present. I can’t wait until next time when redemption will reign for sure.

Big Dog,

Are you sure that gal I shipped it too isn't out shooting it while you wait?  LOL

If she is I hope I never meet her in person.  That is a manly bow for sure.

Have you heard from here since she got back.

Tony,

Don't let being the one left out get you down,  It happens in every hunt.  It was me on the first hog hunt I went on and again on the one before this.

Dad has just been on a dry streak lately, but this is the year we're gonna break it!  We are already planning a deer hunt this fall in a heavily overpopulated zone...

Bad?? Who feels bad! Had a great time, got to shoot my new bow. Enjoyed some great fellowship with equally great people. The food could not be beat at any 5 star restaurants. And got to spend special time with my oldest son. How much better does it get then that? Right now I’m just waiting for the dam to break because I know that when it does there is going to be a flood. Who knows what will fall to the old trad bow then. And it may be the next time out. As a matter of fact I think that it will be.

Hey Guys,
Sorry it took so long to chime in! sounds like the story has pretty much been told. I hate to milk it any further save to say that I had a great time and I'm still stoked about my first trad kill. No doubt I'm a trad hunter for life. Thanks Wingnut for all your help with my equipment. You proved yourself a true sportsman by going above and beyond. (P.S I'm still dreamin about that bushwacker bow!) Thanks TONY and Tony (note: big and little)for showing me such a great time.

Yet another great story of good hunting, good ethics and friendship. Well done gang. The only problem is you got me looking at the pigs at the local farm in a totally different way now.
