Finished up work just before midnight and got a message that there were hogs at a feeder. Threw some clothes on that were treated for ticks, grabbed my bow and headed out in a hurry. I got within 10 yards and double lunged this sow. She went 40 yards through some ridiculous thick stuff, but the trail was good and I gave her all of 10 minutes before starting to track because it looked so good and the rain was starting. In fact, it was pouring on me as I skinned her out and got her on ice.
Hog #10 for the year with my mango Talltines Stickflinger. 175 grain vented 1 1/4" 3 blade
broadheads.
Smallest hog in a while, but she was the biggest in the sounder. One less breeder.

What a hog killer, bet they are cautious when you're in the woods-congrats.
Congratulations, soon Oklahoma will be paying you as a exterminator.
Thanks for doing your part in pest control with those Terminators.
:campfire:
Beautiful sow and beautiful bow. That's a looker there.
Way to get it done. :thumbsup:
Fire up the grill. It's pork chop time!
Pig slayer! :archer2:
Awesome!!
Way to go sir! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks much for posting. She'll taste good.
What is your setup in terms of bow draw, arrow weight? Which 175 gr broadheads are you using? It's obvious they work!
Your a beast Paul! Keep stacking them up :archer2:
I am now over 2000# of hog with that bow. The 3rd bow that I have done that with. The other 2 were a Silvertip and Thunderchild. Don't really feel like starting with an different bow now, but most of the way there with my black and white ebony stickflinger anyway. I will see how the mood strikes me.

I use alot of different setups to hunt pigs. This particular bow is either 55 or 56#@29", drawn to just under 30". Call it 58#. Don't remember the arrow weight. Probably upper 500's to lower 600's. I was using the custom vpa 175 3 blade that are vented and 1 1/4" wide. I really like those heads. Killed a few really nice hogs using them with no penetration issues and good trails. 1 1/4" versus 1 1/8" has made a disproprortionate improvement in the amount of blood on the ground for me the last couple of years. All of this being said, there are probably not many setups that I wouldn't chase hogs with, lol. Placement is always the key, but I usually like to shoot a setup with enough energy that I can feel comfortable using a broadhead that has a chance of making an easier bloodtrail for these old eyes.
Congrats again Pat!!!!!

Well done again Pat, I like to use a faithful bow with plenty of mojo, this justifies my addiction to buy bows
