I was able to stalk up on a nice boar after dark on Saturday and take him using a green light and one of my stickflingers. I heard him go down, and he only made it 50 yards. Finished processing him early on sunday morning.
I went out looking for turkey sign after the rain last evening, and was able to make a nice stalk on another boar. He only made it 15 yards, which may be the shortest that one has ever gone .
I don't usually take a heart shot, because I like the wider margin for error of a lung shot, but I was worried that the green light would make the first one spook, and I could only see the shoulder and forward, so I took what I had. Processed that one immediately after because of bad weather coming.

Nice, I mean really nice shooting...

Some people might be surprised, but these type of hits can yield some of the worst bloodtrails. Especially on sandy soil. These two ran so fast and dropped so fast that most of the blood was inside the cavity or pooled up under them where they died. The bloody arrow was laying 2 yd from the 2nd hog, but I couldn't find hardly a stitch of blood in the 15 yd that he went other than what was on him. That was using a 1 and 1/4 inch cut 3 blade.

We always hear about how smart pigs are. If they were really that smart, they wouldn't be within two counties of Pat.
Nice shootin' bud!

Well, was lucky enough to get a real nice sow last night. Steep quartering away. Arrow passed in front of the heart, but exited the neck and left a nice blood trail for around 150 yards before I found her. Been awhile since I have been this lucky. [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

NICE! I shot his hog, she spun on me and hit her really far back, low quartering away shot steep uphill angle...shot was kinda far, maybe 25 yards but I had waited for 30+ minutes waiting for the best shot I could get and it felt like that was gunna be the shot, and it was...anyways, I thought I was gunna be in for a long wait or a tense stalk and follow up shot in her bed...but I cut her femoral or some artery similar in hogs cause she went down in 15 minutes 45 yards from where I shot her...in the wide open. She was really big, Im leaning against her in the pic. It looks like I'm long arming but you can see my knee against her. hoping to make a better shot in a few days on the next hog I get a chance at here in California!
