Hello gang-
I'm really beat, it's been a long day. I left the house this morning to hunt one of the WMA's about an hour away from me. When I was almost there, I realized that my phone was still at home, so I had to stop at Walmart to pick up something to tell the time. I had no idea where it was, so I stopped at the gas station to get directions. Once I had a watch, it was time to go hunting.
I got into an area that showed alot of signs of deer and hogs were traveling. I brought my campchair and sat down. I sat down from 6:45 to 1:30 using my binoculars, but I saw nothing.
After I got packed up, I decided to stalk hunt on the way back to my car. I walked around some different areas hoping to see something.
As I came to a fork in the road, I heard some very loud grunting that was coming from underneath a bunch of palmettoes. The palmettoes was thick and the grass in front was very high.
I set my camp chair down, so I could be dead silent, as I walked closer to the palmettoe bush. Then, I saw this multi-colored beast come out from behind the the palmettoes. It was facing directly towards me about 12yards away. If this shot was gone to happen, I needed to draw slow, but fast enough to make the shot. I brought my Hill bow up, and I pulled back on the string bring the arrow back. At that moment the hog turned to the right, and I loosed the arrow hitting the hog on it's side.
The hog jumped like a broncing bull, running back into the palmettoes. I waited about 10 minutes, then I decided it was time to go searching. I found the hog laying on it's side about 30yards away. It was a complete passthru with my Howard Hill Big 5.
