Originally posted by Sneaky View PostWent out this afternoon and met up with Dave and Tommy for a little hog driving action. We found two very large black hogs, of which the larger one was every bit of 250lbs. - just a freakin' wall of meat. While Dave was trying to push them out of the thick cover, I saw them start to appear and I dropped to my knees, used a large tree for cover, and drew back. It took about a minute for them to give me a clear shot, and when they did, I settled my third pin a bit high for what I estimated was a 35 yard shot, and watched as the orange nock of my arrow arced and seemingly vanished into the black mass. The hogs took off in a sprint, and I too broke into a full sprint to hopefully turn them back toward Tommy and Dave. I had to slow down a bit to nock a second arrow and they took that opportunity to get ahead of me and make their escape from the peninsula. Unfortunately there was no recovery since much of their retreat was in a few inches of standing water (no blood trail) and I believe my arrow stuck in the pig and was then broke off during the run. It was still a good time though, and my brethren in arms were first rate company.
I also met Pig Addiction in the parking lot - nice guy!
If anyone finds a really large black boar dead anywhere near 6, please let me know so I can recover the skull to make a mount of it. The entry would would be on the hogs right side, and it might have an Easton Carbon Aftermath arrow and/or a Slick Trick in it.
Thanks, good luck, and KAP!

Sneaky and I started out early daylight this cold rainy morning and 400 yards into our hunt we were in the pigs big time 30 or so that we were able to walk right up on.....but no shots presented and they took off towards the river I called sneaky on the radio to run and try to get ahead of them to cut off possibly..... No they just got ahead of us still on our side of the river, so we did another push and they ran right from sneaky to me but in the thickest stuff and still no shot and I said to myself three going to swim I ran to the top of the bluff just to see them about half way across the river already there was prob thirty or so big ones and small in a diamond shape swimming fast so I guessed ok there around 40 yds and I put my 40 pin in the middle of the swimming group and shot again as they exited the river bluff on the other side big sow I guessed was at 60 yds and I shot just under her into the muddy bluff and then I noticed the last pig that had trouble getting out of the river with arrow attached 25 pound sow bbq sizeLast edited by NAVY CHIEF; 02-02-2014, 03:10 PM.

Oh, and I just called the WilCo GW, who confirmed that there is no issue at all with shooting a hog with your bow while its in the river.
