Recent Pig Hunt
« on: March 09, 2013, 08:06:00 PM »
Headed to my buddy Wade's (Stripstrike1)place Tuesday after work. he and I had been planning a hunt for a while but because of work and kids activities we just couldnt match up our schedules. This day was no different as Wade could not leave work early enough to get there in time to hunt. He twisted my arm into going alone and I really didnt want to go, but he insisted so I went. Go there a little late. feeder had alraedy spun so I climbed up in the stand hoping I hadnt runt off any game as i approached. Within a half hour I looked across the field and saw 2 big Rio longbeards heading my way flanked by 3 hens. Cant hunt them till 4/1 but it was great to see them. I snapped this shot with my cell as they approached. the toms are behind the tree.
 
They fed a while right in front of me and then I heard a growl from the woods behind me. The birds spooked off and a half dozen pigs showed up to take their place under the feeder. There were two big sows and the rest were 20 pounders. finally after about 5 minutes the biggest sow got into a good spot for a shot. Arrow hit its mark and i could see blood pouring out as she ran.
 
got down to tracker her before dark and found my arrow after about 60 yds.
 
very good blood for another 30 yds
 
and there she was
 
Thanks for twisting my arm Schwake!

Nice razorback, congrats!!
The season gave him perfect mornings, hunter's moons and fields of freedom found only by walking them with a predator's stride.
