dogdoc Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 Two seasons ago--sat in the bow stand for about 6 hours without seeing anything so I decided to walk to a different area and attempt a stalk on a food plot. When I arrived I noticed two hogs rooting up turnips on the plot. I had to circle about 200 yards down wind to get a shot. I was able to get within about 30 yards--the last bit of cover. I only had 3 arrows in my quiver. As I stood to shoot the lead hog noticed something wasn't just right and slowly started moving away. The bag hog followed so I took the shot. The first shot was a little back (liver) so I nocked another arrow--by this time they were close to 40 to 50 yards. I aimed high and hit the pig again in the chest. The pig just grunted and stopped. I didn't get great penetration so I let my last arrow fly. Another good hit. This time the pig took off running in the woods. As she was running one of the arrows hit a tree and fell out. I ran and picked up the arrow then watched the hog with my binoculars. The pig ran 100 yards--I could see blood everywhere. I watched the pig for a few minutes thinking it would fall but it never did. I then nocked the arrow that fell out--snuck within 35 yards and shot again. This time I got good penetration and the hog finally died within a minute. This was one tough hog! todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texastrophies Posted May 6, 2008 Report Share Posted May 6, 2008 That looks like a pretty big critter, didn't happen to get a weight on it did you? They are tough, no doubt about it. PM me your address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
