New Years 'Hawk

Congratulations on another hog, I think you have the pig gettin down good.

What did it weigh?  It is hard to tell its size with the angle of the picture.

And just think of all the threads asking if 45lbs is enough.....wow.....that is one nice hog Pat.  Congrats

[Pat B.]

When I set him up to get a picture his body settled quite a bit.
The arrow hit about a third of the way up from his bottom line and angling forward. The old pig was deep and thick so I expect he weighed fairly good; I don't have a scale but  wouldn't be surprised if he shaded 250 #.

I've proven to myself that 45# is adequate for deer and pigs. I'd much rather have an accurate hit from a 45 pounder than a marginal hit from a heavy bow. When I was a bit younger I shot bows with nearly double the poundage and surely enjoyed their performance..  Due to some hand injuries and neck problems I've come down to the 45-50 pound bows.
Accurate arrow placement and razor sharp broadheads makes for clean quick kills.
