KidBowHunter Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Hello, my name is Troy and I am 10 years old and in the 5th grade. My dad is also on this forum as bowswniper. I took this pig on Sunday, Jan.7. It was pretty cool. lt turned out to be a Sow, and weighed about forty five pounds. This is my first bow kill and my first Arizona big game animal. We set up a blind about ten yards away from a heavily used trail (the javelina walk down this trail every day to get water) My dad was behind me 20 yards back video taping. A few pigs just walked right by me at five yards and didn`t care!!!!!!! That was pretty close and I did care!! The other couple were suspicious. Long story short, a javelina walked up and started feeding. I pulled my bow back. The javelina turned away so I had to let my bow down. The pig turned broadside, so I pulled my bow back again . He turned again, so I had to let my bow down again!!! The pig finally stayed broadside, and I shot. It was a good lung shot. Tell you what, that pig just about tore out my bicep!!!!!

bowsniper Report post Posted January 16, 2007 I am such a proud papa! Troy held tight when that pig walked right up to him, and he let off twice to get a good shot! He's a great hunter! Too bad I'm not going to let him get into a treestand until he's 25! Mark Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GameHauler Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Nothing wrong with ground blinds Troy. they are a lot warmer, dryer, less wind and you can move around a little more. A buddy of mine shot a lion out of one a couple years back during the archery turkey hunt. GOOD luck in the draw Mike Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
