You guys are killing me. This has been toooooo funny. And hey those shots at two feet are hard to connect on, tougher then 20 yards if you ask me, especially if he's about to take a bite out of your leg!

Steve I've got this picture...kind of rodeo roping style you know. Shoot the pig.....bail out of the stand.... run to where it's stopped...grab it and run like mad back to the truck....spinning tires, dirt and gravel flying through the air everywhere, a Dukes of Hazards fishtailing run back to camp.... I'm first, you guys clean...

That'd be hillarious. I could just picture one of you guys doing something like that. Especially Mike. I'm too lanky and would hurt myself trying to get out of the stand.

ops: :lol:

OK, I thought tomme was the unstable one. A concrete pig? this is unreal. be careful on your challenges as last year a kid outshot the adults practicing. And if bowjunkie shots trad he has had a dry spell and is due some luck. If any of you wound a hog, you should get tomme to help track it, he is good bait, I remember an hog chasing him through the woods and him yelling don't shoot it's me...as if we could not tell the differenc between a hog and tomme, ok difficult challenge but tomme would be the one making the noise.

Ok, I talked to Paul Hodges (Samsdad), he wants in on the concrete pig shoot. He says he may need us to carry the pig over and put it in this truck as his arm is too tired from shooting his stick 100 times a day in preparation for the trip up to Bugscuffle for the shootout. He did graciously allow that he would take a few minutes out of his busy schedule to show us how to harvest hogs and win the trophy. (Note - please address rebuttals to either Paul Hodges or Samsdad. )

Beware of hogslayer. Don't get on the other side of a hog from him. He's concentrating so much on the shot that he doesn't worry about pass throughs (as in pass through you). I had to shine a Q beam in his eyes to keep him from taking a shot at me. He kept hollering, stop shining the light in my eyes I can't see to shoot the hog. Since I was right in line with the hog,I hollered back "That's the Idea".

Now I don't think he would have really shot until I was out of the way. I think he said I'll give you to the count of three to get out of line. One, two ... twang. I think we should change his handle from Hogslayer to Safety Hazard.

That sounds very reminiscent of a hunt I attended some years back! :lol: I believe there were at least five people in the general area of the hog and for a short time no one had a bow. When the bow did arrive we were still hearding the hog around! :roll: Yep, I think I do remeber that hunt.

LOL....Ask Tomme about the time he and I hunted Brushy a few years ago and the hogs dumped out on me on the road at 1AM at point blank range...about 20 of em! Tomme had parked up the road from me and was walking back towards me while I walked up the road (we had pushed the same group off a few minutes earlier). All of all sudden Tomme hears S Q U E A L from my direction....I was in the middle of the road when they ran out on me and I loosed at point blank with my recurve on the lead pig (about 60 pounds)....then all Hell broke loose as the big sows tried to get my (as Hawg would say) lanky a$$. Long story short the hog got away as I hit it in the shoulder....but it sure was fun and I don't think at the time that Tomme knew if it was the hogs squealing or me....haha. 8)

Hey, a thought just occurred to me. (Do ya smell the smoke?) Does anyone have a map of the ranch? Better yet, a map TO the ranch.

bowjunkie · 02-04-2004, 09:44 PM

Let's try this...hope it is readable:

bowjunkie · 02-04-2004, 09:48 PM

FINALLY! 3rd times the charm!

Linedawg · 02-05-2004, 10:58 PM

Don't worry junkie. No matter what Tomme says, we know where the squealing was comeing from. :P

bowjunkie · 02-06-2004, 06:15 PM

DOH!!!! I'm gonna get you wabbit!

LostHawg · 02-06-2004, 06:44 PM

:roll: I believe Mike thinks EVERYONE lives in SE Texas!!! LOL

That map'll get me there. Thanks.
