I took Hope out again this evening. I figured with a front moving thru the hogs would be up and moving around. This big boy came in just before dark and I let him have a 175 grizzly instinct. Only got about 6-7" of penatration and only got one lung but the grizzly did it's job. Thanks to Chad Orde for my string tracker cause he went about 250yrds before giving up! I'll post a more detailed story on the "Hope and Faith" forum! Definately my best hog with any bow to date thx to Hope!!!! Weighed 272#

Congrats, great hog! I enjoyed my time with Hope but didn't bring home the bacon.

Added some great mojo to the bow for the lucky winner!
