elkhutnaz Report post Posted January 7, 2008 Well took my son and daughter's boyfriend pig hunting this weekend, first time for both with bows and both got pigs within two hours. My buddy put us on the herd we hunted, I dropped both the boys 3/4 mile up a wash and drove around to the low side where I set up to glass from, the wash was very deep where I was at around 200 feet and 300 feet wide. After a bit I could see fresh sign in the bottom of the wash so I dropped off the check it out. I cut alot of fresh tracks and could see they were head up the wash towards the boys so I stayed to the down wind side of the wash and walked the bank. After a little a ran into the boys they had no seen the pigs so I took them across and we set up to glass from the edge of the wash, the rain was starting to move in so I threw a rock into a thick bottom and nothing, we were about to pack it in when Tyler, the boy friend, spotted a mom with a baby coming out of the bottom, we followed them over the top to the next cut into the big wash and pigs went everywhere. We watch for a little to get a game plan, Austen my son dropped in and headed down the wash to where the pigs came from, while tyler and I headed across to the other side to cut them off and try to turn them back. Austen didn't go 80 yards and came face to face with about 6 big pigs, he drew and hit a big boar perfect, at 10 yards. I turned to see all the other pigs running everywhere so I yelled to Tyler who was already across and topping out to come back down, He was headed our way when Austen said Tyler is getting ready to shoot, We watch he release and we could hear the hit and the pig run off. At that point Austen and I headed up to where Tyler shot to see what he hit, we looked around for blood alittle and we left him to head after Austen's pig, as we were headed to where Austen shot from we cut blood and found Tyler's arrow, we yelled and he came over the hill to us in the bottom of the wash. We followed the blood thru the bottom up to a real thick edge where the pigs were bedded so I got down on all fours and headed in to follow the blood, as I came thru the brush I was face to face with his hit pig(lucky he was a small boar), I backed out and yelled to get Tyler another shot, and the pig was done(or that is what we thought). We stepped off to give it some time to die and headed to where Austen shot from but it was only 20 yards away up the wash, He showed us where he was and whre the pig was, he had a pass thru with good blood, so I started tracking his pig. As luck would have it the pig he shot passed right thru wherre Tyler's pig was lying, as we tracked him Tyler's pig wouldn't die so I had to stick him with a knife and only another 15 feet away in some real thick cover was Austen's boar. I was very cool to take both the guys out and pop their archery cherries with this hunt. Andy PS they are both HOOKED, trying to get pictures resized to get them up for all to see Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
