Went on a little hunt with TJ(goes by fountain on here)yesterday afternoon. We were slipping along and, around 8:30, happened to spot a group of pigs up ahead of us. We noticed they were heading our way pretty quick, so we frantically searched for a good spot for a hasty ambush. No sooner than we got hid and I got an arrow on the string, the first pigs appeared. About the third and fourth ones to come by were good shooters, but I decided to pass on them because I knew there were some bigger ones on the way. About 20 seconds later a pig further down the line must have caught a little whiff of us. It let out a grunt that spooked the whole group, but they didn't run. I knew we had pressed our luck enough, so I picked out a pig at 8 or 9 yards, found a hole, drew my bow and.........

TJ was directly behind me. I knew he was watching and I admit, I was a little rattled. You don't want to blow it with an audience. I focused hard on a particular spot on the pigs side and let fly. The next thing I saw was my arrow disappearing on that spot. Pigs exploded in all directions. After a little bit, we took up the trail. We started seeing stuff like this...

I liked the way you kept us in suspense.
Great story and thanks for taking the time to take the pictures and bring us and string us along.
We need this, expecially here in Louisiana where we hit 98 degrees today in Natchitoches.
Man it is hot, add the humidity and it is tough.
Happy Fathers Day
Billy

Good Job Chris!
Plan to do some hog hunting this coming weekend myself,providing the wife goes out of town like she's suppose to. Otherwise I'll be painting the house some more like the last 9 weekends! I wish I had a house that can be painted in 1 weekend like most normal people, But no... we had to buy one with the roughest stucco job I've ever seen, just because it was a historic home!
Keep telling the wife we need pork for the 4th, but she thinks that's just an excuse to go play. Keeps telling me they sell pork at the grocery store. She just don't get it!
