It’s been quite a while since I’ve logged on here. Managed to kill a pig on our annual hog hunt. It was the 8th year we’ve hosted it and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t more excited about the fellowship than the hunting!
Was late dropping my friend and pastor off at his blind and by the time I got to mine this little fella was foraging at my feeder. It hadn't spun yet but he was circling.
I've shot over this guy twice in the last six weeks. Then two weeks ago I shot low on his brother. Clipped his brisket and broke his offside leg. Guess he was coyote bait because they weren't together this morning.
I snuck in as close as I dared and knelt near a small tree. I started drawing as he cleared some tall grass and he caught me. But he started to relax and looked down so I drew, anchored and let fly.
He did turn to go at the bow thump but the arrow caught him square in the shoulder.
He never got out of the clearing. 22 yard shot with my Martin Mamba and a 30 yard recovery.
Little sucker cost me another broken arrow though.
Funny turn of events. The pig I shot was the pig I shot two weeks ago. I pulled the broken Beaman Centershot 340 with Carbon Express head on it out of him. It had gone through the shoulder but I guess he had jumped and the broadhead was just out of the skin on the upper neck in front of the offside shoulder. Have no clue how it didn't kill him.
Today's arrow was a Black Eagle Vintage 400 with a 100 grain head and 50 grain insert weight. Hit just in front of shoulder and angled in through both lungs.
In the pics you can see the wound holes from the first arrow. It was weird because when I walked up on it I saw that head sticking out and thought I had used a different arrow. Heck I didn't even have any with those heads in the quiver.
