I hesitate to post this

As I've had an extrodinary run of luck with pigs and I don't want to over stay my welcome here.  I also made a poor shot.

I crawled up in a tree this evening and inside of 30 minutes had some does feeding under me. After a few minutes one of the older gals looked out into the woods and grew concerned. I've seen that look before and was pretty sure what was to come.

  Sure enough, this boar came drifting through and the deer ran. As soon as the pig got in the clear I shot and he went down. I don't know, the shot was high and spined him. Man, I hate that. I quickly crawled down and moved around for another shot but he kept spinning trying to get up,he wasn't too happy with me! He was popping his jaws and all..  I believe if he could have gotten up he would have made a pass at me..
I could see that I wasn't going to get a broadside shot so this is the second, killing arrow. He died within seconds of this shot.

The first arrow, in the spine was a 185 Grizzly and the second that I pulled out of my quiver randomly was a No Mercy.

I think this yew bow was born to hunt !!



And here's the second picture..

Love your posts, no hesitation required here. Imperfect shots happen.

Yew just never know Lucky. Nice effort Pat! One good looking bow too!

I'm getting a little tired of all the pigs down here anyway! They breed faster than rabbits! And what this one did at your feeder they all do. They chase deer out of the county! Boo bad. Tomorrow starts deer season. Hope none mess me up?

Heck no...  Trust me I'd usually use more colorful language but this is PG...  Keep posting!

Congrats on another great hog!  Errant shots happen, but what I perceive from the second is hunter instinct...  Meaning you made the most out of a bad situation with a deadly shot at a bad angle, commendable!

You keep doing what you are doing... Number 1, enjoying yourself!  And 2 getting out when those of us who are stuck at work or being a full time taxi and ATM to two teenage kids takes up most of the rest of our time.

Pat,

You are pure death on hogs, congrats, and thanks for posting!

[woodchucker]

Kudos Pat!!!!

Truth be told, Unfortunatly... Bad shot's happen!

I was told long ago. "Take your best shot... But remember, once you draw blood, you're commited!!!"

You made a bad shot, so you followed right up on it. Being as the pig wasn't going to be cooperative... You took what he gave you, and got it done!!!!!

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!
