Hog Heaven......Just Got Back

[Ray Hammond]

well played, sir. But even I think you're dragging it out a little bit...and I like the "Lamb-meistering" approach to story telling!                    

[Izzy]

That tree across the road has heard its share of squealing. A man cant walk through those woods without getting hog poop on your boots.

[Claym]

You're killing me!    

[kbetts]

Can't wait to go back.  Just waitin to see when in the fall it will be.  I'm starting to think I need to go twice a year.

Jcar315,

I bet this is not the first time you did this to people. I was trying to find that little one in the picture but could't find it..

You are killing us...

[Mike Shaw]

I was on that hunt with Jcar315 and had a great time. Ray's place is the " Cats Nuts ". Let me tell you folks, if you don't have a relaxing good time at HH your not living right! Wildlife every where you look and some fantastic hunting property. Jcar should be home from work soon to finish up this thread.

[jcar315]

Sorry for the delay guys......had to work some OT today. After a call from Ray himself I thought I had better get home and back to posting.

Now where was I.........

[jcar315]

The footsteps kept on coming and in no time at all there he was.....could not have been more than 15 yards away just ever so slightly to my right when I first laid eyes on him.

He splits the difference in just a few steps and stops. Seems like he sees me but by that time I was starting to raise the bow and he started moving again. At 5 yards I let fly.

Here is the scene from exactly where I was standing when I shot with my arrow just barely visible.

Now you're back on track!

[Izzy]

Hey man, thats cheating. Too close you lucky scoundrel.

[jcar315]

Sounds like you know that tree Izzy??? The trail around it is indeed muddy from all the traffic.

[jcar315]

Shot was a little high (even after Ray's instructions and the Shot Placement sticky) so things started getting a little crazy real fast.

Still never left my initial spot behind the tree and took care of the follow up from there.

This is what was waiting for me.

Nice porky!

I understand you folks eat pretty well there as well.......something about ribeyes that would choke a horse....or something like that!

[Izzy]

Yeah man, I recognize that tree John, instantly. Thats one of those funnels where you know damn well your gonna get action.  Nice looking pig there. Congrats.

[cacciatore]

Congrats John for your hog,stunning Bear Supreme and your famous arrows.I am really glad you scored.

[Mike Shaw]

Here is a good picture of my good friend John and his hog. Congratulations again John and good shootin!

[cacciatore]

Mike what a bow were you using?

[Squirrel Bait]

It was great to spend the weekend with you guys. Enjoyed every moment.

[Mike Shaw]

Felix, Your not going to believe this. I'm a big Bear Archery collector as you know, But my Shakespeare Super Necedah is the best shooting bow I own. That bow has been a killin machine for me!
