Early Weekend Results

Took a shot at a decent 8 pt. at 38 yds. He ducked and the arrow shaved a few hairs off his back without him knowing what happened. Pretty upset about it but it's way better than wounding him. He casually fed his way out the plot before I got a second arrow knocked. He'll be back.

This is all I have to offer. I've had better days.

Didn't have a net so I'd rather wear gloves to grab a red out the water than have the treble hook lodged in my hand when he makes one last run as I grab him.
You are welcome to come show me how you would flip a 25" red over the side.

Saw 3 four points and a fawn. Didn't shoot. Beautiful morning and opening day.

two days, two guys, 75 trout 6 reds. had to catch 3 trout to keep one both days. Out of leeville. Shrimp and trout are definitely inside...

Can't speak for HogIsland, but the bite was on plastics in Cocodrie.

Damn.... these areas reachable by yak?

I can nearly see through that doe

Friday morning I climbed into my stand, got my camera set up and was nocking an arrow when I heard a ruckus off to my right about 40 yards. Pigs moving through the woods. It's still 20 minutes to daylight so I continue getting situated and settle in. It's fairly quiet until first light. At 7:15 they start coming in and I get a 15 yard shot on a nice sow. She was slightly quartering away, I double lunged her, she ran about 20 yards and I watched her flip over on the trail just to my left.

The other pigs slowly moved off, unsure of what just happened. They went to my right and fed under an oak for 15 minutes. They began to leave and I thought they'd come back through the plot but they attempted to skirt around through the tall grass. I had one lane trimmed through the overgrown brush. Another sow steps into the lane at 30 yards and I make true on another shot. This one runs about 80 yards.

All in all a good day except for them breaking two $12 arrows and one $10 lighted nock










I normally shoot Rage Xtreme broadheads but carry some Meat Seekers for non-deer shots. I was able to switch out my arrow before shooting and was very pleased with the results of the meat seeker. The broadhead punched through both sides of both pigs but the arrow didn't completely pass through (resulting in the 2 broken arrows)



ETA: my first pig kills with a bow

ETA 2: Got both of these shots on film so I hope to get a video produced in a week or so
