Big Jim - thunderchild -hogs = fun
« on: January 20, 2013, 01:13:00 PM »
Lets start this out with a big Thanks to Jim and Barbara for having Manny and myself (Thank You) .
Manny has had a thunderchild on order and what better way to get it than in person so we hopped in the car and went. Now I know everyone is thinking shipping would be cheaper but this way was much more fun. So after a long ride we arrived at Big Jims .      http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/drewsbow/P1160136_zpsaf75e06f.jpg[/IMG]

Never question a man's choice in bows or the quality of an animal he kills.  He is the only one who has to be satisfied with either of those choices.

Ok so we arrived and where welcomed as if we where family and really felt at home .    http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/drewsbow/P1160135_zps017fbbde.jpg[/IMG]  
After getting unloaded and settled in we toured around the wonderfull house and shop. Wish I had taken pics of both but didn't think of it as I was tired.
We ate lunch and took a nap before heading out to hunt some hogs.

We had the pleasure of meeting Dendy Cromer on here and I had the honor of hunting with him. I have to say he is a great woodsman and I had a great time hunting with him despite the rain which I know he hates but put up with for me. We found us a mud bug in the hog sign and did work into a group of about twenty hogs but I was just not close enough and couldn't get within range.     http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v639/drewsbow/P1160132_zps69adbc58.jpg[/IMG]

Wish I had taken pics of your bow Manny but with chasing hogs and eating I just didn't get them.
