Title: awesome hunt! ( with pics)
Post by: Carbonkiller on November 14, 2011, 09:13:00 AM
well i got up friday morning to a chilly 27degrees, here in north alabama and decided to go hunt some hogs:) well as luck would have it the cold had a few moving, even though it was a pretty full moon. after spotting 3 hogs, i spent about 2 hours trying to cut them off. eventually, this one boar made his way away from the other 2. i got in front of him and waited.....he came by at 15 yards and i made a great hit. he ran off about 75 yards and crashed. this was my first kill using a stos head and i am sold on them!! my bow is a morrison mini metal with medium ******** wood/ clear glass limbs. it pulls 46# at the clicker( 26.5") and my arrows weigh 450grs. we estimated the hog to be around 175-180 live weight
God bless

Nice shot.

A STOS broadhead is a very good hog broadhead. I like their narrow width when I'm using a heavy arrow setup with my light poundage bows.
