Sorry for the delay but as Curt said I just got off the river about 845 tonight.My wifes parents live in Florida and are getting along in years.Her dad had hip replacement a month ago so a visit was in order.I would only be there for two and a half days and was hoping to get to hunt one of them.I had called Hoppy Kempfer in S T Cloud and was lucky to book a one day hunt.The bow I made for this trip was an Osage take down made with supplies from Raptor Archery.66 in long and 48 lbs at 28 in.I was shooting cedar arrows I built with Ace journeyman 160 gr heads.Total weight 520 grains. I arrived at Hoppys at 530 am and we were off.After scouring the area for some time we did see 5 hogs in a wallow but were gone before I got close.After a couple of hours these were the only pigs seen.With my limited time to hunt Hoppy suggested we let a pair of his hounds out to stir things up a bit.After about an hour or so we still hadnt had any action and decided to head back and come up with a plan Just about that time we heard the some barking and took off running.I came up on quite a ruckus and after some peering into some very thick palmetos.I saw enough of the hog to get a shot off.At ten yards my first arrow buried to the fletching about 5 inches above the elbow.To my surprise he stood there so I knocked another arrow and let fly.The hit looked a little higher than the first and he busted out and ran about 20 yards and into a blowdown hole,As I came upon him I could see blood pumping out of his chest but if he was going to stand there,I was going to keep shooting.My third arrow hit basicly a dead hog and it was over. He weighed in at 170 lbs and I will be enjoying some sausage for the next few months.Thanks for posting my photos Curt.

That is neat. I've never hunted pigs but shot a carp or two, so how about an update on the carp shooting too?

Great job, nice pics, and as always a great story to make me feel like I was standing there watching you kill that hog. Great pics too!
Thanks for taking us all along for the hunt.

The anticpation of hearing the story was akin to making the journey to the destination.

As you told it, I felt I was breathing hard just next to you.

Congrats and thanks for sharing.
