Well, let me start by saying that I have been hunting hogs with a bow for at lease five yrs, and have shot at lease 20 ,. Saying that here we go. We went on our annual hog hunt from work last week. We started ok, but by 10:00 it went to hell in a hand basket.
I set up my spot wait the first drive of the day, I herd the hogs splashing though the water, and told myself and my buddy Glen who was about 30 yards away to get ready here they come. I see them and start to draw back and bammm!! My d-loop breaks and fist to the mouth, busted lip. I’m like dammit what the, o well had to just draw off the string.
The hogs pass no shot because of the busted d-loop, about 5 min later I hear more coming up the trail, oh yea baby it’s a nice one, I’m hiding behind a tree so I don’t spook them, I draw back (its about 25 yards out) let it get a little closer, oh crap it see me and its coming in fullllllll blast!!! I let the arrow fly!!! At about 15 yards (that took about 2 sec, at full speed for that hog to make up that ground) it hits his front left shoulder and running past me a sec later , only because I moved out of his way I might add. Well this thing turns around and heads right back at me to my surprise oh crap its only five yards from me and I have no place to go
Heheh
I tried to get behind another tree but I thought it was going left so I went right , well he went right also next thing you know I’m on the ground with my bow trying to finn this hog off me. He is snarling and snapping raising his head trying to gore me. All I could do is try to push him away with my bow. Oh and by the way I slip in the mud an I am now sitting on my but half ways laying on my back at this point in time , all I know is I was not going to let go of my bow because it was the only thing that I had to keep him from me. This lasted about forever heheh
About 3 mins at one point in time he was to my right side and Glen who was running over to help take a shot at him with his bow from about 10 yards and misses
Hehehe that hog looks at him and started his way I pulled myself up and the hog hobbled off to die.
Man that was not cool at all, I pick up my bow and look at my string, and they are cut. My arrows are scattered all over the place, I pick up my arrows and quiver and hobbled the hell out!!!!
Well all the guys in the group check up on me ask if I was ok than proceed to laugh at me!!!
That was funny after wards
After lunch we where headed out again, I say we because I’m part of the group, but I didn’t go back out because I was to beat up
Hehehe
Well they go out to hunt and about 30 mins later I see Billy the guide jumping out of the hunting area, and a couple of the guys walking back to camp
I’m like “are yall done” no them darn hogs are mean this year we need more arrows
When it was all said and done one guy got hit twice buy one hog and than thrown out buy the next one. Sounds like a wrestling match Gary got treed by one, Allen got his boots rip by another. Adam got chase by 2, Seve chase by one.
Most of the time at the end of the hunt we are all laughing and joking around, this time every one came out limping and heads hung low
Heheheh
But we will do it again next yr.
That’s for the ear
