I'm looking to bump up weight and maybe switch to a two blade.

You simply cannot go wrong with either of those two options. Why not kill 2 birds with one stone, and use one of Bill's 2 blade heads in a heavier weight than you are currently shooting? It would be a win/win for you, and your setup.

Had a heck of a time. As soon as i get some free time this weekend ill get up some pics and maybe some video of a couple of kill shots. This one will go down as top 3 hunts ive ever been on!

Nick, The hog in the video above was probably 100# give or take. I did get a complete pass through on that one. The giant hog that Tim and I both shot. I did not have a complete pass through but I did have 2 holes with both arrows. Those were quartering away shots. The broadhead was poking out between the front legs on both shots.

Mike, you read my mind! That's exactly what I've been reading up on just need to get my setup adjusted and give Bill a call.

2 holes is at least what I'm hoping for. I'm gonna be giving you a call soon on the broadheads. Congrats on the hunt and nice pigs to boot!

Hey, Nick. If you are new to hog hunting have a look at this. http://tradgang.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=148811 As I'm sure you know shot placement is as important or maybe more so than your set up. Study the vitals on the dismantled hogs. It may be an eye opener to a whitetail hunter. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call. You know how to reach me.

Good job on the video deerhunter_w.....

That is an awesome hunt! How were the "bugs" since the weather hasn't really been very cold this winter?

Randy, we did have some issues with skeeters and no-see-ums. But the 20 mph NE winds on Saturday blew them away, which was nice, but the 2 ft waves on the big river made boating a bit challenging!

huskyarcher · February 14, 2017, 02:13:00 PM

Here are some pics that i took. Still working on putting videos together.

The Swine Master himself

Real fresh crab legs made by Tim

Bill Dunn skinning the monster sow him and Tim double teamed. I would say that Bill was the deadliest guy on the trip, but i think it had more to do with Tracy honestly :D Seriously though, when the Dunns pulled out, all the hogs in GA sighed a big sigh of relief!

huskyarcher · February 14, 2017, 02:19:00 PM

Group shot with most of us in it. Just take into account that my pig (on the left) was just shy of 150lbs, and youll really get a feel for how big that sow was! (just shy as in 110lbs shy of 150lbs lol.)

It was hard to get that sucker out of that mud.

I think this was the first straight on shot ive ever taken. But being well inside 10 yards and 50lbs at best, i felt comfortable with it. Shot went just by the jaw, front to back. According to the Gopro footage it expired in about 8 seconds and went about 1 yard. Best kind to eat!

A big shout out to Holchin for putting together a great hunt. I really enjoyed it. Thats the second hunt ive went on with him, and im not sure you will find a deadlier dude. I look forward to many more hunts in the future with not only Jeff but also all the other fine PBSers i met this week!

Is it time to head back down yet?!

DanielB89 · February 14, 2017, 02:56:00 PM

Do y'all know of any jobs hiring in this area? I'm going to have to move that way! That looked like FUN!!!

Cyclic-Rivers · February 14, 2017, 07:28:00 PM

Congrats guys. Pbs is a fine org.

huskyarcher · February 16, 2017, 11:43:00 AM

Looks like there is a good possiblility we may be headed back down next weekend. Hopefully we can add some more hero shots.

zipper bowss · February 17, 2017, 08:09:00 AM

Good luck guys! I wish I could join you but Tracy and I leave for TX 2 weeks from today. I have to keep after these bows and broadheads! Dang bills ruin everything. :D
