I received a text message from Snooks saying "Big Sow Down!" He said they were already at his feeder when he got there.
I settled in hoping I would soon have some action myself. Wasn't long and I heard a branch snap! Then I heard footsteps in some water. Then it was quiet. I waited patiently. ::)
Then out of nowhere. There stands a Big Hog in the brush to my right!
He fed in the brush not giving me a clear shot for a while. Finally he came out in the clearing under my feeder. I waited until he was slightly quartering away and drew my bow. I settled the pin tight behind his shoulder and hit the trigger on my release. Whaaack!
The shot was perfect! ;D I could see blood spraying out as he tore out of there!
I waited till dark before getting down. Snooks came meet me and we found blood at the point of impact. The blood trail was easy to follow, blood was spraying everywhere. Even on the trees a foot off the ground! He went less than a hundred yards. My best hog ever! 245 pounds! :)
While trailing I found the shed antler you see in the picture. A great hunt!
Here is a video clip from my trailcam just before I shot him. I was hoping it caught the shot on film, but it wasn't to be. :'(
Snooks and I with our double!
