I slipped down to the river this evening hoping to see a buck. And I did happen to see a very nice deer that I passed up, he looked like a youngster even though he was sporting a pretty rack.
About the time he was moving through I heard some pigs off in the woods maybe 150 yards away. It sounded like they were coming my way. The deer got antsy and left the area and within a minute or two I could see the pigs filtering through. A nice fat sow came waltzing by well within range. By that time the Sparrowhawk was in hand and ready. The sow paused about 15 yards from me and I drew and shot quickly. I was able to watch the arrow in flight going directly towards the spot I was concentrating on.. The arrow then buried to the fletch in her ribs. I knew the outcome as soon as the arrow left the bow. The Mohawk is 45@28 and I draw to 29 1/2 or so. I was using a Beman 500 with an Abowyer Javelina broadhead.

Big Congrats!
Beautiful sow. Great shooting again. That sparrowhawk is really getting it done!
Holy crap.....that's a big one!Well done!
Pat, that look on your face seems to say, "what have I done?! This is going to be a long night of packing meat!" :biglaugh:
No family close to you should go hungry,
It is great to take-in and enjoy the accomplishments of a seasoned hunter.
Congrats!!!
"nice fat sow".......that's a bit of an understatement!!! She has been eating well!!!!
Pat... Out of curiousity...What wt. adapter were you using with the Javelina's?
Congrats!
What did the thing actually weigh anyway?
I'll bet that was a long night getting it quartered and hung. Kirk
Congrats on a fine Pig..!!
Pork it's what's for dinner.!!
I didn't weigh her, no scale handy.. But I'd guess hide, feathers, guts and all she'd go 225-250.. Dressing goes pretty quickly. I was able to get a 4 wheeler to her. Quartered and in a box and out of there in time for the evening news!
Friend,with this set of arrows with the Javelinas I'm using 75 grain adapters. I prefer the 100's or 125 due to their extra length but this bow shoots better with the lighter set up.
Nice Job Pat...gotta love a Texas hog with a Mohawk!!!
Nice! :clapper:
Nice hog and a great shot
If that's a Shoat I really don't want to run into mama and the rest of the family. :scared:
