A true heart ache.........
« on: November 05, 2014, 11:56:00 AM »
I was sitting in low tree stand yesterday evening when a few pigs came feeding through..

This little boar was hanging back in the brush with a little sow but she finally came into view.

Unwisely, he followed.  As I made ready for the shot he mounted her as was getting after it!
Knowing how everything can go south I took advantage of his distraction. A second later my broadhead pierced his heart.. I suspect his viagra immediatly failed and he made a short dash into the brush...

Northern Mist yew and ebony, 59#'s at my draw.
A 5575 tipped with a 185 Grizzly got it done.

Thanks for doing your part to slow the pig population down a little... of course, you do that about every time you go into the woods!

Congrats.
