I slipped away from the house a little earlier than usual today. I wanted to go to a stand that I hadn't hunted this year and it required a 45 minute walk. As I walked to the stand I shot quite a few arrows in practice.
I crawled up the tree and waited and shortly before dark a crippled 8 point wandered through. He was gimpy in his right shoulder, guess he'd picked a fight with the wrong buck. He went on his way. Then right as dark was upon me a small group of pigs eased through the area, one was this midsized blonde boar. As he moved through an opening I shot. Was using my Northen Mist Shelton that's about 62 lbs at my draw and a 185 grain Grizzly on the end of my arrow. The bow drove the arrow through the tough old pig.
I was sure I heard him go down but I got on the blood trail and stayed with it for about 75 yards and saw him up ahead in my light. Always a welcome relief !
