Deer season is over so I'm cleared back to the ranch to shoot hogs-- They came in before the feeder spun and left, but another group came in about 5 minutes later. Went through the routine, and let 'er rip. Watched the luminated nock head into the brush then stay stationary. After an easy track, found him. First kill of the new year and first kill with the new bow.

Good shot, sure made a bloody mess though.
How far was the shot?

Looks like an exit of a 12 gauge slug! What heads are you shooting?

Distance was about 16 yds +/-

That is the entrance hole--exit was at the "elbow" on the off-side so it slid right through the plumbing nicely. Broadhead was a 150-gr Snuffer. First time I've used them.



Left a "Stevie Wonder" blood trail--easy follow.

Well done, my friend! Looks like that 150 grain Snuffer did a heck of a job, too. Of course, your excellent shot placement sure didn't hurt, either!

Congrats!

Bobby--friend said I "snuffed" him--

Did the pig run into those tree's?

I've seen it happen with deer and elk is why I ask.

George

YEP--hit 3 different trees and sprayed blood drops on another, then ran thru a prickly pear cactus patch leaving blood smeared all over the pads.

The only real snivel I have about using arrows and bolts on feral pigs is that they cost at least 7 and sometimes more than ten bucks apiece. Sometimes lost, others bent or broken but you get your broadhead back. Good arrow placement and those Snuffers must have been sharp!

Gunsmoker--yep, an arrow shaft with a lighted nock and broadhead isn't cheap, but the aluminums are way cheaper than some of the shafts on the market now. And the price of the Snuffer (or my Bear Razorheads) won't hold a candle to the price of some of the mechanicals on the market now such as the Rage heads.

But, I have about 50 shafts and that means a lot of pigs (and deer) may catch one in the next few years.

Twin to the first boar in this thread--killed with the same broadhead as the first, but not the same arrow, and from the same tripod. Hit in the spine and I had to slit its throat--lesson learned is that I'll be carrying my pistola from now on. That long cut is where I tried to find my bh. Might find it once the buzzards and 'yotes get it cleaned off.

Another bites the dust...well done!!!
