Hey Tim,Glad you found us.These guy's are just kiddin' you.They know what a sweet guy I am.I'm really looking forward to coming back in December,Chris is coming too.We are working up some arrows splined in the 70# range.And will be fitted with stone points.Really learned some things about hitting hogs with stone points and not dropping them quick enough with all that thick cover too close by.It's not bad if you can run them awhile.
I really hate to give up on a blood trail when you know you made a killing shot.But when the thorns get too thick and the rain is coming down there isn't much you can do.We did learn the heart shots,and complete pass throughs pretty much garanteed we recovered them.My pass through shots came from a 70# plus bow with 15 yd shots with steel bladed broadheads.I hated to lose the first pig I shot,got it on video,right where it was supposed.The down side is didn't recover the pig and broke an Art BNutner arrow.The last day I stuck a sow close to 200# with a perfect shot,but lost her in the thorns when she broke the arrow and quit bleeding.the fat closes off the hole quick.Thats why I want to make two holes every time when we go back.
Chris's pig ,I think weighed 165# and I think I heard Tim say it was the first one shot and recovered with Trad gear.He made a beautiful 15 yard heart shot.When the Boar ran he almost ran over me.I was about 10' from it when Chris shot it.I shot and creased it's forehead.and at least scared it into stopping.then it ran about another 20' and fell over dead.
Tim,you found your way here now,hang out some.We are alot nicer than some of those guy's on that "call"site.See you in December.
