Title: Predator eats
Post by: Landshark160 on February 18, 2009, 08:12:00 PM
Went slippin' through the swamps this morning.  Caught a glimpse of a group of pigs about 80 yards away.  Got the wind right and headed to them.  When I got to about 30 yards, I found myself on one side of a dry slough, and the pigs on the other.  Got in position behind a big oak and waited for one to get right.  This one gave me a shot at 22 yards, across the slough, and I took it.  I remember two things, the perfect arrow flight, and how quiet my bow was.  She went about 20 yards and piled up.  First public land pig of the year.

Congratulations Chris!

You made some 2009 pork!

Not a pass-through - must've hit the far shoulder?  What broadhead and what poundage bow?

You made pork!

Shoot straight, Shinken

Shinken, it broke the near side leg bone, and cut about 3/4 way through the off side bone as it passed by, just below the shoulder blade joint.  No pass through, but I did get an exit.

Thanks for the update Chris!

That broadhead definitely penetrated a significant amount of hydroxyapatite (bone) to get an exit wound.

Sounds like that's a good setup you're shootin'!

Lookin' forward to sharin' your next pork adventure in Georgia!

Keep the wind in your face, Shinken

Wannabe1,

I just got my basic Hunter Model a couple of weeks ago and you are going to be extremely happy - I know that I am!!

I had Ron and Mike put 62" limbs on my riser, and this bow is smooth, fast, and quiet.

I am already thinking of getting another set of limbs.

Landshark160 great shot and I love the look of your Predator with that pig!!

Fantastic shot on a live (very small) target. I'm envious of you warm climate guys this time of year no doubt. I've been slinging arrows in my basement for two months now.

Congrats T.J.
