Title: Luke Larson's First Hog!!
Post by: Bjorn on July 02, 2015, 12:49:00 PM
Luke is Bob Larson's son (of Glory Hogs 1 and 2 fame) with a beautiful sow he shot earlier in June. Luke is twelve-look at that shot placement!

 (http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q291/bjornweb/IMG_3033%20copy.jpg) (http://s139.photobucket.com/user/bjornweb/media/IMG_3033%20copy.jpg.html)

Here is Luke's story in his own words:

I was sneaking through some tall grass below the drive way by myself that was layed down by pigs. I could here the pigs in front of me but they weren't in sight and I saw some grass moving so I assumed they were piglets that got left behind but actually the piglets were coming towards me and stopped 20 ft in front of me. Then some adult pigs came parallel below me and stopped at 17 yards. I had just enough time to zip an arrow in an old sow. She ran about 175 yards and died. I hit the lungs and liver. She had a club foot and was an ancient sow. I shot her with my one piece stalker long bow.

This is a great thread.I had just talked to Bob Larson on Monday and he was telling me about Luke's pig.If I remember right,I think it's actually his first that was taken,on his own.

Those guys were out here last Summer and we spent an afternoon running trail cameras.Luke is an extraordinary young guy,well mannered,hard working and smart.He's one of those rare young individuals that walks up to you,looks you in the eye and shakes your hand(11 years old then).He even taught me some things about using my camera.

I'm hoping we get to do that again sometime.

Congratulations Luke.

A bit of detail that should be of interest to most; South Cox custom made the 3 pc longbow Luke used on his hunt. Glory Hogs 2 was filmed on this property and is available on the Stalker website.

Man that is a gnarly old sow ain't it?

That's just the kind of hog I would love to kill.  I'm gonna start chasing them in Sam Houston National Forest in a month or so.  Don't know a thing about the place.  Should be fun.

That is an AWESOME story and an even better young man.  Heck I'd like to meet that boy and spend some time shooting some arrows with him.  I guarantee you he could teach me a thing or 2.

Thanks for the story and pics.

Luke is an impressive young man, and even at 12 years old I would be perfectly happy to have him guide me on an archery hunt-he is that good.   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
