Thread: The day I have been waiting for has......

finally arrived. I got my 1st Trad hog today. Marty and I set out about 11 to give it a go. Seems like I walk way faster then him and made it thru my area quick so I head back towards the truck and then cross the road and work my way towards it. Ends up 160yds from the truck I get on a group of 8 40#s. I stalk up to 30 yds when I notice 2 bigger sows off to the right so I decide to back off em n circle a little towards the bigger ones. I get to 15 yds when I get my shot. Chaos broke loose and I think she ran straight away so when marty gets there we take off that way. After more than an hour of looking with no sign I am deflated and tell Marty to give up. I remember I had left an arrow marking the spot of the shot so I backtrack to it only to walk over her 30 yds from the shot. She had gotten behind a tree and turned left when I never saw it and fell in a thick spot. Funny thing is I never left the arrow, had it in my quiver all the time...
The shot was quartering away and I clipped both lungs and the artery below the spine even though the shot appears high.

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! congrats man,
