I know the feeling big guy. I have been trying like heck lately and nothing to show for it.

Result
2 stands and 2 feeders stolen.
three other feeders with cameras out and not a pig coming in the last 3 weeks. I have no idea where they went.
there is logging going on across the river. Don't know if they went over there to feed or if the heavy equipment noise scared them out of the area.

SL, I actually have a new shirt coming out this year but it doesn't have the catapult stand on it. I think it is pretty cool and hope it does as well as the shirt with Barbara hitting the moose in the but while she is shooting at me....Or something like that.
Manny and Drew are on the way and should be here in the Morn. We will scratch out a plan and I expect will be huffing peanut butter and "Pig Shine" by late afternoon.
I have a couple of new batches of shine in the making. I guess it is good as you can smell it for a long way and my dog seems to like it.

I predict someone will be elbow deep in hog guts by Monday...or sooner.

Yes!...two fatties...but they are in the same picture....that would be me and the blackie.

53# at 31.5" desert bighorn with vpa 3blade. Pig hit near last rib with exit hole in the crease on opposite side. Short recovery of about 50+- yards.

Black pig was about 250 lbs. estimated...but could get bigger as the story goes  :)  She will great eats.
(remember, if you don't know me, I am 6'3" and about 325 lbs...I can make some animals look smaller then they really are).

Manny's spotted peeg (that's french for pig) is a nice practice pig and hopefully just the beginning.

Preacher did not pick a spot and shot over a 200+ ...i will continue to harass him about that casue that's what we do.

Drew will get his chance tonight....and more for t he rest of us cept preacher casue he's busy savin souls today.
thanks, bigjim

Manny shot ol' spottie at 12 yards with his 62# thunderchild and a BigJim 3 blade on the front of a GT blem. He was shooting from the catapult stand...funny he doesn't make it sway like I do.
The broadhead nearly split him in two and skinned and quartered him at the same time.

Even with a gaping hole that shone sun light through it, the pig was able to run, crawl and drag himself about 50 yards.

         _________________________

I had checked the camera at my stand (the hero stand) before settling in. I was a little down as there had been no pigs in there for three days.

After a little nap, and then text news from Manny,  some pigs entered the killing fields. I attempted to turn up the light over the feeder but the battery had died.
Fortunately for me and the rest of the group, I had outfitted us all with strap on lights for our bows.
A short flight later I had vindicated my self.

Oh what a night.
I'll let ya'll know more when we know more.
thanks, bigjim
