Very nice video, thank you for sharing. I say that at least as far as hunting is concerned, you guys that live where there are wild hogs are lucky  ;)   Good for you.

Thanks Guys !

This was on a 120 acre game farm. Josh tha camera is made by Midland, it's called an Extreme action camera, the head mount didn't come with it, i fashioned the camera onto a headlamp mount.

Dunno what I am more jealous about...hunting the hogs or having a camera to video the hunt!!!  Thanks for posting.  Wow, he bled like a stuck...well, you know!

John, toss a bow and a gun in the car and head on down here.  I have a video camera to video you with.  No sense getting jealous over the deal.   ;) ;) ;)

Nice hunt John, I really liked the video.  You did well.  Now that I've seen how well that little camera worked, I think I'll work to set up something like that.

I believe those were Corsican sheep.  I shot a Corsican ewe on a ranch hunt similar to this one when I first moved to Texas and didn't have a deer lease with hogs.  They are quite common on game ranches in Texas.

Enjoyed the video.  A target rich environment.  Wit the number of arrows you shot I thought maybe you were trying to make a porky-pine.  Just kidding.  I know how difficult they can be to bring down sometimes.

Title: Re: Got me a Hog
Post by: John K on April 12, 2011, 06:35:47 pm

Thanks Polar Bear, I think the first arrow would of done the job, but i like to try and put the animal out of it's misery as soon as possible. The second arrow, just glanced of it's head cutting the ear, the third was a pass through  :)

There was another guy in the group shooting one of those things with wheels  :o He had 4 arrows sticking out of his looked like a porky pin cushion  :D

I went back to see the arrow that earmarked the hog....I think I can kinda make it out. 

I agree with you about wanting to help finish things quickly.  I hate losing game, even though he woulda left that even I coulda followed!

you only grind them?  I used to order Boar/Hog at resturants in NYC and it was great.  Chops, Ragu w/ pasta.  Ribs.  I would like to put an arrow into a hog like that.
