Deer season starts on the 28th, I'm excited!
Until then I'm a pig hunter. I walked about a mile to a stand that I had seen a mid sized boar hanging around. The stand is only a dozen feet up the tree and I crawled up as quietly as possible.
I'd been there about 1/2 hour when I heard a stick break about 40 yards back in the woods. Then it got quiet again for a bit and suddenly there he was. How he got there I don't know, it was like he just appeared outa thin air.. Don't suppose I was day dreaming ?? He turned and showed me a good angle and I drew the bow back to anchor. Seems like I didn't dally there very long and the arrow was through the side of the hog. This Shelton is about 62 lbs. at my draw and throws a heavy arrow with atthority. I heard the Delta crunch through ribs.
The pig ran but not hard, he seemed sick immediatly. I knew he wouldn't be far so I lowered my bow and climbed down. Since it was nearly dark I put on my headlamp and picked up the trail. After about 30 yards I started finding copious amounts of blood where the pig had just been standing around leaking..

After another 30 yards of good blood I came on the pig. He was still alive but not very mobile. I eased around until I had a broadside shot and finished the job with a second arrow.

Can't wait to see what you bring home from your whitetail season.

I never get tired of seeing your threads! Well done, Pat

Another Good one. :thumbsup:

:notworthy: ..... By now you must need to buy another freezer

I was going to say it doesn't seem that the back quiver squeak turned out to be an issue, but I guess since you were in a stand, it was hanging on a limb close by. Congrats on another fine hog. You and Bisch seem to keep them pretty much in check in your respective locals.

WOW! You're a swine killing machine! :thumbsup:

Not that anyone's too concerned with numbers, but Pat, may I ask your pig count this year? Pat's got more pigs than your local pork dealer! Way to go Pat!

Sweet pig. And great shot.
-
I'm wondering how many freezers you have!
-
Nice job, again. With all the hogs you stick, it's a wonder there are any left. Enjoy the bbq.
-
Another one, WoW....you gotta be getting sick of pork by now????????
-
A pig a day will keep the doctor away! LOL!

Pigs cringe at the sound of your name! Pigmaster for sure!

On the couple of places that I am able to hunt there's a lot of crop land. The farmers don't like the pigs as they are so prolific and destructive.. Me, I kind of like 'em !!!!
I give a good many pigs away so freezer space isn't a problem.
I don't know the count.. Too forgetful to remember,lol

Congrats Pat!

Dang Pat,
Pigmaster is right. Congrats!!!

I see that you are using a back quiver - you must have solved the back-tension/squeak issue....
Your Arrowmaster is gonna start feelin' lonely now!
Enjoy the feast!
Shoot straight, Shinken
