elkhunter Report post Posted January 4, 2008 Opening day all 3 of us, dad, sister and I, found a herd at first light, we set off a stalk and lost them in the flats, we backed off to prevent spooking them and hope to hunt them later, the next day (2nd) we saw no pigs due to wind gusts up to 40mph and found bunch of deer but no shooter bucks. On the 3rd didn't locate any pigs in the am, but in the pm my sister found 1 pig, later confirmed 1.13 miles away, we made out way in closer and the pigs were out of sight, possibly bedded down. Dad and I took a nap, Stacy came over and stuck her finger up my nose and told me she found a pig sleeping under a tree. We made our stalk, Dad stayed behind to give us directions and to watch his kids chase some pigs. We got to 20 yds of 1 pig, Stacy had first priority to shoot and was ready to shoot but the pig saw our shadow and trotted off, we wailed on the call, a pig came up behind me 20 yds, I shot and hit her low and she dropped on the spot and crawled away, we waited half an hour and tracked her. Stacy missed slightly high at a pig downhill 25 yds away. My pig had a decent blood trail, she went 80 yards and was barely alive, I put one last arrow in her and that's the end. Just dad and I will be chasing pigs for the next week and my sister will come back later to fill her tag. It's also my 7th pig as well. Enjoy. Here's Stacy and I taking a break after the finishing arrow Heres me making sure she was a dead'un Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

azcouesandelk Report post Posted January 5, 2008 Great job on another pig Tyler!!! Is that 6 in a row now? Man, i shot those wacems yesterday,as well as the Rage ( in the alley out to 50 yards) and those wacems flew better than my field tips! I really want to use those rage or the wac ems would be the deal! Ill try them out on deer! Just curious how anything can fly better than a field tip I have heard it many times and I just cannot figure out how that is possible. Could you elaborate this for me Casey?
