John at Tusker is some hunter, he's really tearing it up down there this year. He got a new Mark Kimber Huntsman 2 pc take down longbow about a week ago, and if I can count correctly this is already the 4th boar he's taken with it. But I think this guy should count for at least two! Apparently in OZ hogs cross breed with Volkswagens.

John shared this from the hunt:
Went to the local Banana farm yesterday, and shot these 2 with that new longbow. I went back out this morning with a block and tackle and winched him up a tree by the scales he went 376 lbs. 1 arrow at 12 yards about 18" penetration, but through to the other side.
For those interested in tackle, John's new longbow is 62# at 28", he was using a Predator II 45/60 carbon shaft from Braveheart, tipped with a Tusker Aztec broadhead, total arrow weight 550 grains.
Here's a shot of the brute on the scale:

You may have noticed John said "I shot these TWO", well here's the other one.

Really great pigs,but more pigs than Russian Boars.Congrats
Wow, what a day!
Those are some serious hogs.
I love bacon as much if not more than most but I don't believe that even I could eat that much...lol
Awesome and yet kind of fearsome at the same time.
If they have the same attitude as the hogs that are hunted with Mountain Cur dogs then it would almost be the same as hunting grizz...lol
Congratulations to the shooter.
God bless,Mudd

That makes my blood boil with excitement! Great hogs. Congratulations John. I guess those Tusker broadheads work okay on big tuskers like those two.
Allan
Whoa what nice hogs !!!
Thats alot of pulled pork!
Awesome job!
John, looking at the photo of the hog hung upside down, is the front right leg missing or am I not seeing the photo that well?
I would hate to meet up with a hog that size walking to my blind in the dark of early morning. :scared:
That baby won't fit in the overhead bin - better pink tag it!
What I want to know is HOW did they get that thing hung in a tree and what kind of tree ? Congrats on two great pigs!
Keeping the Faith!
Magnus
