Default stuck my first pig yesterday (updated w/ pics)

i shot my biggest hog to date and my first with a bow yesterday...he weighed 153lbs and had a nice lil set of cutters/wetters.
huntnma was a tracking fool...no blood (3 drops) so she looked for footprints and splashes of water on the palm fronds...he ran about 120yds. it was a great shot as well...high lung but it got both and it missed the shoulder shield by a millimeter....draggin' was rough cause the ground the was so wet but we got him out...i'll post the whole story and pics soon but going huntin' again in a few minutes.

Sounds like you guys had a blast. It must be nice to make memories with your sister like that. Very cool.

Congratulations, great job (for the both of you).

Congrats. I want to hog hunt really bad but the farmers here in Iowa may frown on it a little. Just looks like a real good time.

Congratulations-I started Bowhunting them in the off season about 4 years ago & it is just a blast-anyone that can try it should. Inexpensive compared to most Bowhunting. In 49 years of Bowhunting allkinds of biggame I have come to the conclusion wild hogs are the toughest thing on 4 legs to KILL with an arrow. Well, other than Rhino, Elephants & Giant Bears. I try to make several trips to Oklahoma & Texas every year to hunt them. Will be releasing a video on my past Hog Bowhunts in the near furure. IT IS "NEVER" dull, for sure.
Congratulations again.
