Title: Shot this chuck with the Bear A-Riser
Post by: Cody Roiter on July 25, 2010, 06:29:00 PM
Hi Guys, If you seen my other post about my New Bear A-Riser ( new to me anyways) You see I said I haven't been online much since May.. Anyways as I was looking for some photos I found a few of a woodchuck I shot in June at a friends farm with the A-Riser.. Just wanted to share them with you guys here ( hope you don't care)

Anyways the story goes like this... On June 5th I wa over to my friends house helping him and his gradpa with some farm work.. Well rigth after we got done with work. My friend and I get are bows out to shoot at a few targets he has at his place.. As I get my bow out and string it up I here that little son of gun( other word used then gun) coming from my buddy dave's grandpa mouth.. I said sir whats going on he said well there that damn woodchuck out in the field( at that time the field was all dirt) He said I have been trying to get him ever since I seen him a few weeks ago.. I said you care if I try for him ?? Grandpa said wait and I'll go get my .22 and you can try all you want.. I said I don't need a gun I'll take my bow.. He's was like yeah rigth like you will even get a shot at him.. But he said more power to you.. So I take my bow and ONE junk arrow with that had a MA-3 broadhead with me and then I go arcoss the field.. I find his hole and like well I'll give him a few mins to see if he comes back up to look around.. I back up about 15 yards or so.. get down and wait I'd be about 5mins after I set back I see him pop just his head out of the hole.. I said to myself this is better then I was hoping for.. I drew that 43 pound bow back to full draw and let the arrow fly.. I seen the arrow sticking up out of the hole I was like alrigth      :cool:    .. I'll give him a min or two and walk up slow.. Well after a min I walk up and here he lays dead in his hole... I pick him up and take him back to grandpa ( which seen the whole thing) He after that hasn't said anything about me shooting a stick and string....

Best Guys,

Cody

was that how it ended up or did you place the arrow there to show the entrance for the picture?

Neat story and nice shot. Takes me back a very long time ago. I ate the last whistle-pig I bow-killed.  I have one that lives behind my house but I can't bring myself to hunt him because groundhogs are much more rare than deer in my neck-of-the-woods.

I used to put a balloon at the hog's multiple holes (usually just 2 holes total) to encourage him to come out the one I was guarding.

Are the limbs Bear or after-market?
