Preacher and I have been lulling the piggies in to a false sense of confidence.

He has been gone all week for a church function and Knowing I will be hunting all next week needed to do some work for a change. It is hurting my feelings though as I know come the end of Feb, things are going to get even crazier around here until August.

I'm not against any set up you guys chose to use, but if your arrows will accept lighted nocks, it would be a good idea to have a couple.

I have shot many pigs at night and once a group of 3-30 scatter, it is near impossible to tell which one is your huckleberry and where they headed off to. They typically don't bleed very well externally...at least not in the first 20 yards or so. The light can be a huge advantage in recovering them but not mandatory.

I have the best luck with the nocturnals...not just because I sell them. It is actually the other way around...I sell them because I have the best luck with them.
Wood arrows are cool too. We just follow the smell of cedar/stinkin pig to our query  :)

Scott  : I have two bows both thunderchild bows 58" one is 55@31 and the other is 55@32. These two bows shoot just about the same for me. Now my arrow is going to sound crazy but it works for me. I shoot full length 31" beman mfx or Easton trads , same arrow @ 500 spine with 125gr in brass insert and 250 gr vpa three blade heads total arrow weight of 725gr . four fletch four inch feathers and I have a lighted nock on one as Jim said its a great help. I shoot three under with a tab not that that matters  , anyways I also use a head lamp turned sideways with a red light on it and bow mounted light as well.

Scott,

Ask Manny what happens when he shoots Drew's arrow from his bows?   :knothead:    :laughing:
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Drew, I was referring to the time Manny shot your arrow at the Turkey   ;)  

Figured if he tried that on a hog, it would give him a slap on the ham.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Our aimless, yet zealous clan falls miserably short in the air pressure department. Having stated the aforementioned, we will aggressively gnaw on all brick with the most fervent desire.
:biglaugh:    Looking forward to the hunting stories.  Good luck!

Just a couple more days and we're going to seriously irritate some hogs!...some we won't even bother at all...only takes a few seconds and all their worries will be gone.

Ha, Preacher has slapped a big ol sow in the ham...at least once. He claimed he had a deflection off a limb and the arrow only spanked her...she was none to happy though.   :)
