hoghntr Report post Posted January 14, 2018 Shoot em in the face. It happens. had a buddy tell me a Texas story where he shot pig from rear and arrow came out center of skull and pig spun and ran straight at his blind with broadhead coming straight at him. L.O.L. wish I had recorded the story as he told me he launched himself off his chair in blind cuz he thought he was gonna die from his own broadhead. Javelina turned just before blind and fell dead just behind it. L.O.L. I know I have shot a few in face and they sure go down quick if broadhead is in the eye. had 1 facing me that I tried slipping arrow down her side and between shoulder and neck and turned out I slit her from nose to shoulder. 😮 was very "Glasgow smile" looking and very dead pig since it exited her bungholio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
300RUM Report post Posted January 14, 2018 Thanks for your service. Sorry to hear you are missing hunts as a result. You are not alone. The first vet my long time hunting partner and I guided with Hunts for Heroes is on the pig app with us. He lost his left leg just below the knee in Afganistan. Last weekend while hunting he was having trouble with the fit of his prosthetic leg. It turned out a cyst was developing where the leg mounted. He had it removed Friday and is temporarily in a wheelchair. My partner and I were going to head out tomorrow but he got stuck working 11 hours today and is not up for it. There is something about pig hunting that I really enjoy having the other hunters on my app right with me, hunting like a pack. I said screw it, I'm not going either. So here I am at almost midnight messing around on the computer. Hope you heal up soon and get back into the field for some good hunting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hear ya hard to go solo if planned hunting as a pack. pretty common to have issues like cysts with prosthetics that said i have met a few men and women who have chosen amputation over years of battling infections and or insane pain or have not had choice as infection would have killed them. Praying for your partner and his full recovery! I have all my limbs it just seems they are always under construction 😕 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
