Now I need to say thank you to few TGangers somehow related with this hunt.
The bow is a Shafer Silvertip 63# with a Carbon Expresss 350 and 50 grains insert,BH VPA Terminator 250 1-1/4 with a 680 grs total arrow weight.
First:thanks to the CHILDREN in St Judes Hospital that gave some luck to the VPA Terminator offered by BIG JIM on the auction that I won.The Shafer limbs were a trade with Jack Witmire JR,traded them for a Kodiak 1966,thanks Jack,I promised you to christen a wild boar with them and I did!The string is made by our beloved AS,Allen makes some really good strings!And finally my good friend Pat Norris-Tater who gave me an incredible knife made by Wayne Depperschmidt from Colorado.

Here in Italy the hunting pressure is really heavy with hunter using lot of hounds and big team to hunt wild boars.So to try to pattern them on a one on one hunt it is very difficult and they are very spooked,but I am lucky to have a good friend,that hunt himself,that let me know when the boar are present in his area and feed them to keep them there.

He told me to have boars visiting regularly his place but they were really nocturnal and not predictible.
Last week he saw some before dark so on Sunday I went there to try to ambush them in their moving from bedding and feeding area.
 Just before dark I was on a rise, in the hill side,when I felt some soft walking:2 big boar come out from the bush but they were facing me and were feeding without giving me a good shooting angle,I prepared but one that was approching me some 10 yards away feelt something wrong and they went back in the dirt and dark woods.

They weren't really spooken and since I ain't made any noise and the wind was just perfect they kept feeding around me and approching.One was maybe 5-6 yards away but the bush was so thick that I couldn't see it and they couldn't see me.It was already too dark when the bigger one went back to feed in a good shooting position.He was broadside a little quartering away at 10 yards so I drew my bow and released the arrow,he was gone,without much noise.
After 15-20 minutes I went were he was standing and found the arrow stuck on the ground.Clean miss  :banghead:  probably between his legs.

It was a little discouraging to miss a big boar at 10 paces when practicing I brake nocks at that distance!  :confused:  
So on Monday and Tuesday I worked again on my form and replaced the Woodsman 150 and weight with a same spine 250 VPA Terminator.
