maloney2121 Report post Posted January 6, 2009 Me and the old man headed down south to chase some deer and pigs. It started out wet and cold and pretty much stayed like that all through sunday and monday. Even with the weather being the way it was it was still an eventful day. We started off in an area we knew held lots of deer and pigs and got there long before it got light. As we started to glass some guy came driving up right next to were we where and him and his buddies got out and just started walking right through the are we had been glassing. Never asked were we were gonna hunt only asked if he had spooked anything as he was driving up. I replied "not yet" but obviously he did not get the hint and just packed up and started on his way right through were we where hunting. Anyhow thats when we packed our stuff and headed to another area. We got to the new area and within minutes picked up a herd of pigs and not even a minute after ANOTHER hunter came driving right up to us and parked. At least this hunter had enough courtesy to ask what we were gonna do. We told him we had some pigs on a hill and he was nice enough to stay back and go another route. THANKS BOB. Thats how it should be done.. hope no one disagrees with me!! Finally got up the hill and found the pigs again. I had walked right up on the herd as they bedded down under a mesquite tree and then they all busted out from the tree and this lone ranger decided to stick around and provided me with a shot as he walked away from me. I knew I did not have much time to shoot cause he would be in some thick cover any time so I took the shot. I hit him and he ran off full speed. I wasn't sure if I hit him good so when he came around I blasted him with another shot this time broadside. That is such an awesome sight to see your arrow go right through and have the blood just pump out the side. I knew he was hit hard then. We trailed blood for about 75 yards and found him still very alive. Man these little boogers are tough. We decided he was hit good enough so we let him bleed out but it took almost 20 min before he would expired. With the way the morning started the day ended up being a great day. I feel great with this kill being my first with a bow and I hope there is more to come for me. I just wanted to add that having my pops there made it a very special hunt. I know he has seen me put endless stocks and seen me miss so many times and now he was there to experience it all with me. Thanks a lot pops. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
