Sabine pork
« on: January 31, 2009, 11:33:09 pm »
My son-in -law,Zach , and I went pig hunting down in the Old Sabine bottom public land today.We found a little bunch right off the bat this morning,and trailed em for about half a mile.A couple of the bigger hogs,seemed to know we were sneakin' up on on em,so we decided to split up  and try to get ahead of the bunch for an ambush.They drifted toward Zach,and he did'nt get but one opportunity,but he made it count.He snuck up on all fours to get a 15 yard shot.The pig only made it about 40 yards and crashed.He was using his little 48" osage D-bow,50#@25".His arrow was switch-cane with a band-saw trade.We were 2 miles from the truck,so neither one of us ought to have any trouble sleepin' tonight. God Bless

Judging from the shot placement, it looks like he was shooting downhill pretty steep. However he did it, he did it right. Congrats. ;)

No,he was on level ground,and was crawlin' through standing, dead, inland sea oats(Chasmanthium latifolium).He hit him a little high,but caught the top of the lungs. God Bless

impressive stalk and shot! congrats.  Might you be willing to share with me the width of that fine bow?  I've just started working on one of the same length and design and am trying to figure out what's the best width. 
                             thanks, nick

Nick,I believe Zach's bow is about 1 1/4" wide at the handle,tapering evenly to 3/8" tips.I'll see him today,and if that's not right,I'll correct it. My whole family will be out today to celebrate my son's birthday.I'm cookin' my special duck dinner. God Bless
