So I got my over camo back on, picked up my bow and headed to the commotion. I made my way to the edge of the thicket where I could hear some hogs in the small field ahead of me rooting around and doing what they do. Squealing, rooting, feeding and grunting. It sounded as if they were coming my way but I couldn't see them. So I stood my ground about 5 yards into the trees along the edge of the field. Sure enough, about ten minutes later, I see the first hog show up in my view. It must be the big boar I heard in the first place. And wouldn't you know he turns right into the trail I'm standing on. As he feeds behind a tree I draw my Bear bow.By this time the rest of the herd is filing in right behind him.
When the big lead boar gets about 4 yards from me I decided now was the time. I set my top pin low on the best eating size sow I could see and let er rip. It was a double lung complete pass through at 8 yards. Hogs scattered everywhere and I heard my hog hit the brush and let out the death moan a bit later.
She didn't bleed much at all the first 20 yards then when she hit the thick stuff I found this
for about 15 yards. Then I found this! (look how high the blood is on left of pic. Not sure how that happened)
Didn't get the double drop tine 200" buck I was after but all in all it was GOOD TIMES.
Gotta love bow hunting.
