Title: Rare Florida "Javelina"(actually a wild hog)
Post by: tarponnut on March 21, 2010, 03:20:00 PM

I arrowed a rare "Florida Javelina" sized boar near Clewiston yesterday. This little guy came in with 9 of his friends and hung around a little too long.Ran 80 yards and piled up(on video again)
Magnus II head, GT Trad arrow, Kohannah Fury Elite longbow 48#. Many thanks to Terry VanArkel
for getting my arrows flying right just prior to the afternoon hunt! (http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn66/tarponnut/clewiston310008.jpg)

:thumbsup:  It's a good thing we do not have hog hunting in MT or I would NEVER get any work done.  Thanks for sharing.

Only one in the group ran off after the shot(besides the one I shot). I have fifteen minutes of video of them scarfing up the corn and eventually a cow with a calf ran them off.
I also got good video of a doe and spotted fawn  the day before.The coyotes really had the bigger hogs wired.We heard them howling both nights.

Jim is a great guy to hunt with and to have in camp! Its a pleasure to tune a bow for someone who shoots so well.

Hope to have You in camp next season!
Your hunting buddy, Terry

Yeah whatever..lucky shot!
(Kidding Jim,) Sorry I missed you at the TBOF shoot, I had to work on that Saturday, this is the time of year when I need to be "flexible".
Looking forward to hunting with you soon!
John

TVAfishing,
Did Jim mess up your camp the way he did mine?
I had a neat, tidy, cabin until Jim showed up, then it was a mess all weekend!  He just took over and threw his hunting junk all over the cabin floor, ..Oh yeah, and he slept all day!!!
