bowhuntaz1 Report post Posted April 20, 2013 My buddy Richard bbd1234, sends me a picture message around 6:30am of a few drops of blood on a log. 1/2 hour later I call and ask if he found it yet, with a "No" response. 20 minutes later I get the call."BIG BEAR DOWN" He stated it's going to take him all day with just him and his wife. I get directions and I'm out the door. An hour and a half later He picks me up on his quad and up the mountain we go. 330 yard shot when the boar was standing up eating stuff off a branch that blew up the left shoulder. 2nd shot shattered the right upper arm. The boar expired about 400 yards down the ravine from the dirt trail. 6'8" from tip of the nose to tip of the tail. Richard and I could barley move the hind end to make it into smaller pieces.Here are some pics. I was not there before he started dressing it. This Bear's molars were worn down almost to the gums. I will throw in a few pics with me later after I get them. Feel free to add anything you want Richard. After all, it IS your hunt!!!!!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
