Title: Makin' bacon
Post by: Pat B. on December 02, 2011, 09:53:00 PM
It was such a pretty evening I decided I needed to spend it in the woods. Fortunately, nobody disagreed!

I parked the truck about a mile from where I was going to sit. After a nice stroll I found my tree and settled in. Just a bit before pitch dark this little boar came slipping though. When he passed my tree I slipped an arrow into his flank and up into his heart / lung area.. He didn't make it far.

This Sparrowhawk is indeed a "mojo" bow.. It is plain hard on pigs !

"little boar"
Where I am from that's not a "little boar"

Congrats on a fine hunt!  If I may offer some advice, continue to walk the mile in as you have a lot of bacon to work off!!!

Nice one! Not so little either...Really cool coloration on it too.

I can't wait to make some bacon this winter with my new (to me) sparrowhawk!

Inquiring minds want to know:

How the dickens do you get a hog that size in the TRUCK???

By the pic, I might blow a gasket just trying to lift the head were it removed! GAWD!

Doc, it's not too bad. I like to hunt on foot for the most part but almost always have my 4 wheeler close by.. In these woods I can generally maneuver it to the animal.. The Igloo is on back and a few minutes of knife work renders the carcass into small easily hoisted pieces..

Gotta love this time of the year!

Mr. Byrne, I see you are in Tx. What part? I live just north of Austin and am always up for meeting any of the gangers I can.

See ya later,
