Zipper/Grizzly combo = Freezer Food Oink Oink
« on: November 27, 2012, 10:13:00 PM »
I had a great adventure this week end and made another lifelong friend, compliments of Tradgang! I was lucky enough to get an invite to go chase some hogs this week end  with John C. and I jumped at the opportunity! Thanks again John!

I recently acquired a set of 64" 69@28 longbow limbs and a custom signature "Tracy Dunn" string from Bill at Zipper. I also have some of Bills Grizzly broad heads I wanted to try out and this would be perfect. I loaded up all my stuff and headed out to meet John on Friday afternoon.  

We hunted Saturday morning and I only had a encounter with a bobcat, I squeaked at him a couple of times and had him coming in but I guess he figured that he wasn't hungry enough to deal with that great big squirrel up in the tree so he turned and went on about his business. It is always cool to see the animals that don't normally show themselves.

Saturday afternoon was a whole different story!

Here is a little tease!

Charlie, you are going to recognize the handle!

Saturday afternoon I was sitting in a ladder stand overlooking a feeder in the mature southern swamps of the south. Huge cypress, red oaks and chestnut oaks so big that it would take 3 people to reach around them. There were at least 10 different gray squirrels practicing there "sound like a hog" walk through all the leaves. They kept me on my toes the whole time!

Finally, I here the rustling and shuffling of the leaves as if something is rooting and searching for food. I get stood up and after about 15 minutes it still has not shown itself. Then I here the soft yelps of some turkeys, I hate to say it but what a let down! I set back down and yep, I'm sure I had a frown on my face! It was cool to here them cackle when they flew up to roost for the night.

About dark thirty I here the squeals coming through the woods, in 5 minutes I have hogs all over me! I don't know how many it really was but sounded like a whole school bus of kids just let out in my little neck of the woods!

Another tease!

Did you notice the blood trail in the above picture? It's running from the base of the tree at 1 o'clock. This is only 10 yards from were the shot connected and is a steady line!

That's a blood trail there!  I guess 69# with a great broadhead helps!

I'm running a little late to work, I'll finish this up for ya'll when I get home.

Don, I have to concentrate on pulling it back so all the other "stuff" is on auto pilot, I shoot a lot better when I'm not thinking about anything!

Colin a good quality broadhead that hit's the right stuff will do the job every time!

Charles, I have not played with the canes for a while. It would be interesting to see if I can get one of those tonkins stiff enough to shoot.
