Longbow magic !

[Pat B.]

Seems like I go for weeks on end without seeing game.. Then the luck will shift.

I have three Wesley Specials and I use them all.
Today I was carrying a 68 incher thats right at 60 pounds at my draw length. It's a favorite. In fact, I've decided that whichever of these three I happen to have in my hands is my favorite.. Now that is a terrible thing, isn't it!!  I suppose that I'm about as lucky as a fellow can get with these three, they work well for me.

I usually try to go for a walk after work on a daily basis, today was no different. After taking note of the wind direction I made a long loop through the woods. While I was walking I often stopped to shoot at a clod or a stick or any other target that caught my eye.  For me, this kind of practice is about as good as it gets.

I swung back through the woods to intersect a creek that borders the timber. As I was coming out of the woods I saw a small group of shoats on the opposite side of the mostly dry creek.  

I went stealthy ! As I eased out of the woods I loaded the bow with an arrow equiped with a Zwickey Delta, it had been file shapened. The small pigs were about half way up the bank on the other side of creek bed. When I was about 25 or 30 yards from them, the largest of the group turned giving me that quartering away shot that works so well on pigs.. I was burning a spot before the bow ever came up - and I felt sure the arrow would fly true. I came to full draw, touched anchor and the arrow appeared in the spot I was looking at.. Fellas if that ain't magic I don't know what is, lol..

A number of pigs are given away but this one looks like a fine candidate for MY freezer!
I thank the Lord daily that I'm able to prowl the woods and prairie..

Awesome story & results Pat. Thx for sharing!

[SportHunter]

I was just thinking you must have a commercial cooler big enough to hold all these pigs. You are certainly feeding a lot of people this year, Bravo

I think it may be the magician behind the magic Hill bows that keeps collecting them pigs!

Congrats on another fine hog!

[Maxx Black]

Well done Pat, love the story and photos.

[Thumper Dunker]

Great job again. Nothing like having  magic Bows. But I think its the wizerd behind those bows.

Congrats for the hunt,you and your bow are a single thing!

Congrats once again Pat.  Having a place to go do this on a regular basis, and having 3 Hill's to do it with?....well, not sure it gets any better.  Keep at it!
