On the way home from the grocery store my girlfriend, Lexi, and I spotted 5 little hogs feeding next to a dry ditch, we drove home and I got my bow and 4 arrows, loaded the kids and returned to the area.

 The hogs had moved down into the bottom of the ditch in a head high jungle of Johnson grass and Nettles. They were quite busy feeding and I took my first shot at about 15 yards, looked to be a good hit with a loud squeal from the hog. I moved down the ditch and located the rest of the hogs and was able to get a couple more shots off as they regrouped and started trotting down the ditch.

  I got down in the ditch and followed and got back on them within 100 yards. Made another good hit...then my son, Cal, and I started following the blood and finding the shot ones. One ran up and expired on the patio of a barber shop, the girls came out to see what was going on as we hauled the pig off. They seemed rather amused at the sight of a grown man running around with a bow chasing pigs.

  The bow is "Little Budda" a Osage self bow I traded for at OJAM, made by Brad Merkel, Little Tree. It's a silent killer.

Looks like you didn't need to go to the grocery store for much more than fixings and drinks. Great hunt!
