Just curious, what arrowhead did you use with that crossbow? Mechanical? Regular? Grains?

Shultz,
If you decide to go, give me a holler at 512-nine-nine-two, eight four five one. I'm retired Navy, so expect some good-natured ribbing!

Sure I parked by the bridge off of 95. Took the trail and stayed to the left of that private land to your right. I got the hog at the third corner of that property. About 5 meters from the fence. It's a group of 6 and 4 of them are three times as big as the one female I got. They gathered in a big bush and was about 10-15 yards from me right off that trail. Got so excited cause being my first pig I could've reloaded another arrow to shoot at those big ones but didn't . Next time I won't do that rookie mistake lol also it's warm now so ticks are abundant I had a ton on that pig good thing I always carry a large bottle of rubbing alcohol in my back pack. I poured it all over the pig before I skinned it the ticks all scattered away so I can do my work. The land owners came to my location and were pretty cool and said they got hogs also along the fence line. Easy for them they are in the clear side with a golf cart buggy lol and just FYI I used some hog esterus on my boots and a descenter spray on my clothes. They never saw me coming it was amazing how close I got.

Not ticks, those are hog lice...Google swine louse...

Like Jim said 100 percent hog lice, they don't have ticks right now....but a butt load of lice on them, these are swine specific....we are not a host for them...or your pets...

That's good to know, I had a bunch on the one I killed a few weeks ago. Have been paranoid about catching Lyme Disease or something until just now.

And the funny thing is I thought I would never get anything on my daughters little crossbow is a cheap little thing that came in **** handy that arrow went all the way through that **** pig even a Broadhead blade broke cause of the ribs wasn't a perfect shot but did the job

I'm looking at getting a crossbow for my 10 y/o daughter. What is the feet per second (fps) of that one? What type?
