Wild boar down!

[Danny Rowan]

Ciao il mio buon amico Felix,

quello è un maiale selvaggio grande, una certa fucilazione piacevole con l'arco di Schafer Silvertip.

Congratulazioni.

Danny

     Good for you Felix.

Beautiful pig. I saw a sicilian woman make a rabbit recipe using chocolate. Sounds nice, kind of like Mexican mole'. I would like to hear your recipe.

So Wednesday I was full of hopes since my friend told me the boars were back and feeding on his bait.

There aren't many tree were to hang a stand,so I found the steep wall of the hill from were they come from,to protect my back there is some really thick thorns that also the pigs don't cross.
Just at the fading light I could heard some grounting and noise,then in second a bunch of pigs arrived to the bait.
5 or 6 small pigs and a bigger sow,on the back there was another one still in the cover but talking to her piglets; when all the other were already feeding she came out broadside.

I decided to don't shot the leading sow also if she was much bigger than the other.
If you kill the leader the rest will change their routes.

Steve,that's no true in 2011 I killed 3,missed 2 and wounded 1.The wounded one is a big boar still roaming around much smart and walking on 3 legs and half.

LOL, Felix,

It lost a bit in the translation, my Italian is not what it used to be.

In English it would be,

That is a great wild pig and a fine shot with the Schafer Silvertip recurve.

So when the other sow offered me the quartering away shot, that I always look on wild boar, I released the string;they exploded all together but a small one that remained there without understanding what was happened!The grunt from the big sow called it aways and it was silent.
I heard some broken limbs on my left where the wounded pig runned away,then nothing.After 15 minutes I went to look for my arrow,nothing.

Congratulations Felix, heck of a boar.

I called my friend and started to look for blood trail,nothing for begining,so I went to the side where I heard it running away,looking every single trail.
I was figuring that with a 63# bow a 680grs arrow and a vetal BH like a VPA I could have the best of the blood trail  :mad:  
Not finding anything I guessed the the arrow was stick inside the sow and in the downhill shot the entry hole would have been to high to bleed outside.We lost a half a hour when my friend smelled something on the other side of the trail where I figured that the rest of the band runned away.As he looked around he found the last 20" of the shaft and a blood trail that also Ray Charles........less than 40 yards from the shot the sow was stone death.

The VPA made a terrible work entering angled braking ribs destroing liver,lungs and heart!
Blood was sprayed everywhere in the death run.
I found the Bh bedded between 2 ribs with the point just pushing the skin to exit.    
Then it is been just work and butchering,in the wait to have guests in my home to test it.
Thanks everybody,your friend in Italy.

Way to go Felix! That's the way to put that VPA to good use!
