At the shot, the pig squealed and everything scattered! I saw the nock fly off after about 15 yards marking "the" spot to start checking for the blood trail. After about 15 seconds you could hear a pin drop it was so quiet! I quickly got my stuff together and headed to meet John. That was 1 1/2 hours of having all those hogs around me! I love pig hunting!
As I was nearing John, around 50 yards away, I hear the squealing and limbs cracking of hogs leaving from behind him. I get to him and you guessed it, I spooked them off
After apologizing, I told him that I felt I had made a perfect shot on a 30 lb porker. We eased out to the truck to drive back in to look for my hog.
Once back to the spot I told John where it happened and John says "There's blood" and off we went. The above pictures are within 10 yards of were I shot the pig, It's looking good!
We followed the trail for about 50 yards and John says sarcastically "There's your pig! I'm glad you didn't think he weighed 150 lbs!" I look up to see this big hog laying there, boy was I pleasantly surprised! There laid a very nice boar with 2" tusk!
He was muddy and bloody! I have never seen one with so much mud, I thought it was a blond hog when I shot him. Now we had a long drag to get him out it was at least 50 yards to the dirt rd :D .
I weighed him on my scale, he was 125 lbs field dressed, I guess he was around 165 to 175 lbs live weight.
Here are the rest of the pictures.
