Title: First Traditional Bow Kill - Hog
Post by: ARCHER2 on February 06, 2011, 10:10:00 PM
Hey Folks,
Here are some pics of my first traditional bow kill. Took him this morning while deer hunting.
Weighed 175# on the hoof. Shot him with 125 grain Snuffer,Thunderstick Ramhorn recurve.He went about 35 yards and fell over. Feels good to get that first one under your belt.

Ok,  1st off congrats on the bow success ... awesome!!  Now the Packers just became world champs so I will give you a pass on the "no pictures" tease you are curently working.  However, you may want to post some soon as not every one is a Packer fan.

Sounds like a hell of a hunt, congrats again!

go to tinypics then its pretty easy to figure out from there.  after you get teh pic go to edit and set it around 400 for size then save. copy the code for message board then paste it into this.  alot easier once you gete to tiny pics

You have to put your pics in a photo hosting site like photobucket or flicker and then transfer them over here. You can not load them on here directly off of your computer. They have to be less than 640x480 also.

Congrats on your hog!

Charlie, congratulations on your first trad kill.

Just give us more details, after all it is the PowWow/campfire section. No pictures needed, although gives it more feel.

LITTLEBIGMAN,
It's a Thunderstick Ramhorn and it is sweet.
Quiet and accurate. 60" long, 44#@29". I have several others but it's the one I grab just about every time I go hunting.
