My last stalk on this property...the cows are starting to calve...so....
I stalk into the wind looking in the brush along the creek bottom. Same place as last week except I came up on the other side knowing their escape route. I have it on GoPro, I will upload tomorrow, but I couldn't see anything..sun was in my eyes...hog at 15 yds no shot, another at 10 yds shoot and miss. That's on video, finally this 200# sow I missed at 10 yds, goes in the woods about 100 yds and I hammer her twice running. One entered in the loins up high, first shot running away, she spun and second shot drilled her through both shoulders and kept on going. Fun!

I came home and fed chopper, I had pig fat on my hands...he was licking my fingers and squealing.
 
now he thinks you are a sow!
 
Yea, I thought he liked me because I'm so cool....but if I go out without a bottle he just screams at me. Go figure.
 
typical child!
 
Great lookin' sow there, congrats !

I put up a video--gopro doesn't pick up very far but you can see the position of the sun was bad. I am not much of a night person, I get real groggy after 9 pm. lol
 
Not a true story.

I figured it out when you said the sun was in your eyes.!! Ha! No way. Hogs aren't out in daylight!

Everybody knows that man.


;)
 
Glad u got her down!
 
I spent my life bow hunting mostly, recurves when younger and longbows my adult life, so I am more comfortable stalking and still hunting during the day. Stalking hogs is tough with a bow just because even a great shot doesn't mean a recovery, once they run off it is tough to find them and you really need a quartering away shot to get up into the vitals good. I have this weird habit at night called sleeping, I would suck at night hunting, snoring is bad for stealth.
 
Nice going Dan - 10 & 15 yds qualify as close encounters for sure!
