My wife's a killer!
« on: April 18, 2013, 09:29:00 AM »
My wife, daughter and I made it back from our vacation/hoghunt with a few small hogs.

 Vicki, my better half, went with me last year and took her first hog and first animal. She shoots her Widow PTF, GT carbons and 125 grain Zwickys with 100 grain brass inserts.

 Her first one.

   

 Number 2.

 

 We were out stalking late one night and she took this Pope and Young armadillo    :D .
 A fellow we hunt with took this picture of her so I could send it to my brother. He can make a 2# dilla look pretty big!

   

 My daughter went with us this year. We did the Universal Studios park thing for her and she had planned to hang out at the beach with her girlfriend while we hunted. We talked her into going with us one morning and she ran the camcorder for Vicki and me. She enjoyed herself and now says she wants to shoot with us this summer and wants to try to take a hog with a bow next year!

 

 The fellow we hunted with said that a family that slays together stays together.    :D

Were you hunting with Hoppy?  Looks like his skinning shed. Nice hogs and how neat that it's a family affair!  :thumbsup:

Thanks fellas.

 Yep Dave, we were at Hoppys. It always a blast with him. He took the girls around and showed them a part of Florida they had never seen.
 I took 3 small ones with an osage self bow that I finished up a few days before we left. We got close to a couple big ones but seemed like the wind always messed us up. Course, that's why the big ones get big, and as you know, they're sure not dumb.
