BML Report post Posted January 16, 2013 A little late with the story, but I have a good excuse. I left for my first coues deer hunt in Mexico 2 days after she killed this pig. Around September or so of 2011 I bought my girlfriend her first bow after she expressed so much interest in joining me on my archery hunts. She busted her arse shooting every day to get ready for the 2012 archery pig hunt. I tried a brand new tactic that year and it was a miserable failure to put it nicely! She never saw a pig. She was not deterred, though, and continued to shoot and improve her skills all summer long. Come August she joined me on the deer hunt and nearly shot a gorgeous 3x3 coues! She stalked him all the way to 30 yards while he fed and just like those coues deer always seem to do he noticed her while she waited at full draw for him to clear the bushes. Game over! Fast forward to a couple weeks ago on opening day of this year's pig season. With the help of a great friend Kevin, I think he goes by azhunter85 on here, she and I had a plan and we were ready! Here's a link to our blog with her story! http://azhuntingadventures.blogspot.com/ This was also my first real attempt and running a camera on a hunt. The footage turned out pretty decent. I have a few things to learn still, like don't point the camera at the ground! Oh and make sure the dang lens is clean! haha. Rookie mistakes for sure! I strongly urge you to watch all the way to the end of this video. It's a stripped and cut down version to make it easier for you to download. Kaela worked so hard for this pig and after a couple heartbreaking misses she finally gets it done and proceeds to completely break down afterwards. It's not often that we get to capture such an emotional moment on film but I'm sure glad I did. Harvesting your first big game animal is a memory that all us hunters will never forget! http://youtu.be/vaZ_oj9NwkQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
