Texas Hog Hunt 2016
« on: June 07, 2016, 11:32:25 am »
I went out Sunday morning (6/5/16) and stalked down this little 100# sow out on the edge of one of our rice fields. Used my favorite 52# Elm D bow and a foreshafted Tonkin cane arrow with a stone point I got from Tower (Thanks Don).
It's an amazing feeling taking game with gear you made yourself.  8)

Nice work! 
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.

Thanks guys...i should've posted this with the first pic but here's a look at the point and insert. I think with some sinew and a little touch up on the point I could put this arrow back in my quiver. But it's going on the wall of fame.  8)

Very cool Gilbert. :)   Looks like your gear was more than up to the challenge, that pig looks plenty dead in the pic. brother.
I ain't broke but I'm badly bent.
