Deer season starts on the 28th, I'm excited!
Until then I'm a pig hunter. I walked about a mile to a stand that I had seen a mid sized boar hanging around. The stand is only a dozen feet up the tree and I crawled up as quietly as possible.
I'd been there about 1/2 hour when I heard a stick break about 40 yards back in the woods. Then it got quiet again for a bit and suddenly there he was. How he got there I don't know, it was like he just appeared outa thin air.. Don't suppose I was day dreaming ?? He turned and showed me a good angle and I drew the bow back to anchor. Seems like I didn't dally there very long and the arrow was through the side of the hog. This Shelton is about 62 lbs. at my draw and throws a heavy arrow with atthority. I heard the Delta crunch through ribs.
The pig ran but not hard, he seemed sick immediatly. I knew he wouldn't be far so I lowered my bow and climbed down. Since it was nearly dark I put on my headlamp and picked up the trail. After about 30 yards I started finding copious amounts of blood where the pig had just been standing around leaking..
After another 30 yards of good blood I came on the pig. He was still alive but not very mobile. I eased around until I had a broadside shot and finished the job with a second arrow.
