Nice picts!  Thanks for brining me along.  I like the sepia effect.  I'll have to try that.

Good stuff. I hunted at Hondo TX for a couple years and the country is wild and woolly no doubt.

Daniel, excellent pictures. Your photography skills tell great stories. Can't wait to see what happens to that hog! Congratulations on a memorable hunt.

[yononindo]

took a shot at a big boar, hit the shield - no pass through - he went crazy - squealing like hell - he circled around with that bright yellow fletching sticking out of his shoulder .... splashing mud and water all over the place ....

as he opened up his circle and run towards me - you know what I did ????

I dropped my bow, grabbed my knife and started running - had to find out he was not charging me, he run into the open water ..... puuhhha ?!?!?!!!

there was no chance for a second shot - this all happened within a couple of seconds and he scared the hell out of me !!!

I could hear him splashing through the water for a while, leaving me and my shaking knees behind ....

here is where he disappeared ...

 

after 40 minutes I took off my boots and trousers and started searching with the help of my buddy Chris ...
here is what we found ....

 
 
 
 
 

I was not much into arguing with an Alligator - particularly not in pants and barefoot .... so I hope he enjoyed that free meal ...

even though we did not recover that hog it was still a satisfying hunt !!!

This thread keeps getting better and better.


I like that orange plaid.....good idea to be camo while still wearing your hunter orange

[yononindo]

I see you made it to the State Capital Building! It is the same as Michigan's, just a different flag over the entrance!  

[Scott Teaschner]

Very cool pictures. There are way to many reptiles for me to ever think of doing that kinda hunt! I will stick with the griz here in Wyoming. I really enjoyed the photography.
