Title: First trad kill
Post by: Dave Bowers on May 06, 2008, 04:55:00 PM
I was out turkey hunting this morning and the birds weren't really talkin; so I decided to take a walk to another area. While I was walking I spotted this whistle pig about 30 yards from me.
So I figured I'd put a stalk on him and see if I could get with in range. I got within ten yards of him and let'em have it as he stood to scan the terrain. I put my arrow right through his chest; 20 seconds later he was done.
It was a great hunt even though it was just a ground hog. But after practicing my butt off with my recurve it was very rewarding to me to have been able to take a critter with it.

Congrats Dave.  I think it was a ground hog chili that won the chili contest at Compton last year! My first critter was an O'possum (didn't taste that great!), Good luck on the turkeys!  Nice lookin' bow by the way.  Scott

Hmmm I never thought of that...chili that is. I had heard the young ones taste good, but older ones make good stew. I might have to give one of these a try.

And thanks for the kind words all    :D
