Well I decided it was time to feed the Bowtech once again, so I headed out to Granger.http://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif Saturday morning was an excellent morning for the pigs to be moving at 41 degrees and light drizzle.
As I walked down one of the access roads a mere 1/4 mile from the truck, I spotted a group of hogs. As a got downwind and began my stalk, I heard a grunt almost right beside me in some bloodweed. There were hogs bedded right beside me at only 10 yards. I switched my plans and sat trying to find a little opening that I could shoot my arrow through. A big sow finally gave me a clear shot and I took it. The razor trick found it's mark.
She spun in circles not knowing what had happened and then all was still. I nocked another arrow and shot the sow again. This time she took off out of the blood weed and through the woods with an Atom broadhead sticking out of both sides.
I went over to the spot where she was standing, and quickly realized that the first shot I took had killed the sow where she stoodhttp://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif. Another pig had apparently stood in front of the sow as she died, and I shot a different pig.
As I tracked the 2nd hog through the brush, the blood began to get very weak and I had to track it through some knarly brush on my hands and knees. After nearly 100 yards, I heard a loud popping of teeth only 10 feet in front of me and slowly looked up to find a p@#!ed sow looking at me eye to eyehttp://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/images/smilies/eek.gif! Apparently she wasn't dead... I slowly nocked another arrow and sat up on my knees drawing a bead on her forhead. THWACK! I hit her head on and she fell over deader than a doornailhttp://discussions.texasbowhunter.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif.
Overall, a good eventfull trip to Granger, although I had to drag 2 pigs out...
Sorry for the long read, Kody
