Hunted with Jim Dussias from True South Adventures last weekend in Fort Pierce Florida. Flew down with my old buddy Mike "Mad Dog" Oconnell for a 5 day hog hunt. The weather was certainly welcome considering we left single digits here in Connnecticut. Lots of hogs were seen both day and night. Florida recently made it legal to hunt hogs on private land at night with the use of a light. We took advantage of this and spent a lot of time when the sun went down pursuing hogs in the dark. Here's a pic of a hog that I took on the second night from a ground blind with Jim at my side running the video camera.
The blind set up was overlooking one of the feeders Jim has set up on the property. The hog came from behind us about an hour after dark. It fed into our view aided by the red lights that I had mounted to the video camera. The hog was quartering away pretty hard when I took the shot at about 5 yards. For the first time ever I used Burt Coyote Aluminocks to help aide in not only the filming but also in being able to see the shot placement in the dark on film. The arrow struck at a hard angle with the bright red nock glowing along the pig's side as it tore off into the thick cover. The Woodsman tipped Traditional only carbon shaft, shot from my Black Widow, put the hog down in less than 100 yards.
I have more pics and stories to tell from this hunt, but for some reason this is the only picture I have been able to upload onto my computer. I'll keep working at it and continue this story when I figure it out.
