willhunt4coues Report post Posted February 7, 2010 This was my first coyote with a bow. First stalk on a coyote and first fobbed coyote. My dad and I had not seen any Javelina for two days and it was getting to us. For 5 years I had shot my Javelina within the first 3 days and man I thought it was not going to happen this year but low and behold it did. We had only saw 2 but I only needed 1. I snuck to within 20 yards and let the arrow rip and I thought I had missed. She only ran 25 more yards and was just standing there. I let another Fobbed arrow go and I heard that wonderful thump. She ran about 75 yards and started to do circles. After sneaking closer from 60 to 50 to 40 I thought for sure I would hit her and I missed. She ran another 40 yards and laid down. Now my dad started sneaking up the hill to get a shot at the other one that was 5 yards away from mine. He got to 48 yards and let one fly but missed. The Javelina just slowly worked its way up and over the hill with my dad in tow. Now with them out of the picture I made my way up the other side of the hill that mine was on and peaked over just to see mine still alive laying there. WHAT THE HECK. I had shot this Javelina perfect behind the shoulder through and through. But they are tough. I snuck back a little, I did not have a clear shot and moved up the hill just a little and had a clear shot as I topped the hill again. When I topped the hill all of her hair from her head to her butt raised and man the addrenalin was pumping then. I pulled my Bowtech Allegence bow back and remembered what my dad said, "If you are too close aim down the arrow." WAS THAT A BIG MISTAKE. I shot over her back 6 inches. So I knocked another and aimed and yep another miss a close miss but still a miss. I looked at my arrow yes I did say 1 arrow and knew this one had to count. I drew and aimed LOW this time, shot and she was down for the count. Wow I had my biggest pig within 3 days and with the FOBBED arrow a first on the pigs. She had 2 INCHES of fat yes I said 2 inches of fat and the BEST hide I have ever seen (it was almost all white). She was about 50 lbs and BEAUTIFUL. Thanks dad for always being there to see my excitement and thanks mom for letting me go when I was young and all the encouragement you guys have given me. I hope I can do the same for my kids.

stalkincoues Report post Posted February 9, 2010 Nice job and great write up! That is a really cool looking silver pig. The spot and stalk coyote is not an easy one. Those pigs can be tough, my buddy shot his 5 times last year and he swore they were all good shots. I have been wanting to try those FOB's myself. How do you like them? Any clearance issues at all?

I love them. If you just nick a small cat claw or something like that kiss the arrow and fob good bye. MUST HAVE A CLEAR SHOOTING LANE. Very fast and when I shot my pig the wind was about 35 miles an hour and I hit where I aimed. You will love them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
