#10 on Memorial Day

[pdk25]

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 is your setup in terms of bow draw, arrow weight?  Which 175 gr broadheads are you using?  It's obvious they work!

[Basinboy]

Your a beast Paul! Keep stacking them up

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.

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