Farmer ----
« on: June 03, 2013, 11:11:00 PM »
A farmer friend told me that some pigs were getting in his maize crop.

This afternoon the wind was good for slipping around his field. There is a horseshoe shaped slough that goes around the crop.

As I eased around the field I took several practice shots with an arrow tipped with an ACE hex head. I seemed to be shooting pretty well so I put the practice arrow back in my quiver and concentrated on the task at hand.

After 30 or 40 minutes I saw a couple of pigs on the edge of the slough. I closed the distance until I was about 25 yards away. This nice sow was rubbing on a small sapling when the arrow caught her behind the shoulder. She ran in a 20 yard circle and went down.. The 60# Wesley Special continues to treat me well..This pig fell to a Zwickey No Mercy broadhead..

You've shot more wild pigs in the last couple of weeks than I've ever seen! They weren't around in Texas when I grew up, maybe some in far east Texas. I'm envious as all get out! Congrats!

if you need help getting rid of some pigs you just let me know, seems like you got your hands full down there.
Now then, get your weapons, your quiver and your bow and go out into the open country to hunt some wild game for me.- Genesis 27:3

When I grow up I wanna be like you.  I came close to one last night but he got my wind before I had a clear shot.

Congrats again

It's a good thing hogs don't read Tradgang or they'd quickly vacate your area. Congrats!!

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