Well, for the first time ever i have walked into the woods with a bow and i am hooked! i got a mathews Q2 in trade and love it! I picked up a left over archery pig tag and tried my luck. i have experience with a bow and after ALOT of time with my Q2, i was comfortable out to 40 yards. The first day that i went out looking for pigs, my friend Christina acompanied me. her and i were riding a gas pipe line road first thing in the morning in an area i knew pigs were. we were about a mile or so down the road when christina grabs me and says there they are! pigs! Alright i think to myself here we go! i count 13 sows and piglets run over the ridge, 150 yards from the road! while i am getting my bow and stuff ready for a stalk, she spots 3 HUGE boars working there way down the ridge 173 yards from the quad! i have her stay at the quad with my Zeiss and i make my stalk with my bow, backpack ad range finder. i slowly work my way down to the bottom. i get within 64 yards and looe cover. the pigs know i am there but dont know what i am. they slowly walk back up the ridge the way they came. i quickly but surprisingly quietly make my way up with a blonde patch of weeds as my marker. i get up to whrei last saw them at and all of a sudden a rock moved to my right. with out turning anything but my head, i range the pig at 22 yards. after i range him, i clip my release in and turn and draw at the same time. the pig is broad side and sees me do it. i see the pigs hair stand up and think hes going to bolt so i rush the shot. at the shot i can hear it stick him and it knocks him off his feet and i can see and hear him rolling around "barking" and squealing and rolling around on the ground. i wait for about 5 minutes and then yell at christina to grab my back pack ( i dropped it off and grabbed two arrows and left) and come over. about 20 minutes after the shot, she is there with me and we start looking for blood. i find the arrow right behind wherei shot him the second part covered in blood! i think sweet! i just got my first animal with a bow on my first day out! we immedidely find blood and follow it only for about 25 yards and it STOPS!!! we are on hands and knees looking with nothing! i call my dad, and 3 different buddies to come help me look and no one can. Christina and i look for 4 hours and find nothing! no pig, no blood nothing! what a heart breaker! Dad and i go out to the place where i shot a few days later. i show him where the pig was and where blood was and we still hunt and look for the pig body. we find fresh coyote crap with javelina hair in it... atleast i killed the pig and hes not wounded! glass up a NICE buck.... he was a 4x4 but his right side all the tines were broke off after a inch or so. his left antler was broked off 3" past his 7" G2! went out with Azpackhorse two times, made stalks both days but nevr connected. either way i am hooked!

Happy B-day Doug! dont get to crazy on the partying tonight! -
Azpackhorse and i were returing from pig hunting and i got to see my first CWT.com sticker! it was a white jeep cherokee at orange grove on I10 in tucson. who was it?
-
was thinkin the same thing, if you can do it past 10 yards, then you are doing something rite.
-
I hope you atleast have an idea of the buck you shot.. THAT THING IS A TOAD!!! great job!
-
Like doug said, paint a few different dots on that target. i had the same one and was aiming at the same place and within 3 day my arrows were blowing thorugh. congrats! ive come close to that but never done it!

Older model Jennings whitetail., 29" 50-60. shot and hunted with, not abused not wore out. quiver, rest, all that is needed is arrows $50 shipped PSE- bow has no name on the limbs but it is a Nova. 27" ( i believe) 60-70 lbs. rest, quiver. this bnow has never been hunted but has been shot in the back yard. $75+ actual shipping. Pictues can be taken of the Jennings, the PSE is at my other home so it will take me a week or so to get pictures.

yeah that using the 30 yard pin on the 40 yard shot will do that! dad did that with my bow in the alley and was lucky to BARELY hit the target! a lion is a lion, but yeah thats a small one! even smaller than mine! as long as it doesnt have spots its legal!
-
Better be takin that .280 back down with you so u can go get that lion! i thought you were deadly at 30 (cant shoot there anymore cause of breakin arrows)?
-
They better be awesome for how expensive they are! i shoot Muzzy 3 blade.
