Default Pittsburg Hotlinks...
Smartest Boar in Texas.

I first saw this boar on opening weekend. He busted me that Saturday night and didn't give me a shot.

The very next Saturday night, I beat his nose and got a shot on him just after dark but there was something between us...

Well, he should've made other plans for Saturday nights. This past Saturday he came in and circled the stand trying to wind me. I sat still and waited him out. When he finally moved into feed, he was in the exact same spot he was standing when I stuck the tree but he was about 5 minutes earlier so I could still see the tree. A couple of steps later and I have my first longbow kill with my new Foley custom bow...

Bow is 64" NTN...

This was the first time we'd all been at the place together since opening weekend, so I'm very thankful that he gave me the shot while I had help dragging him out of the bottoms and while I could rub it in the faces of the non-killing lease members! It was a great weekend and closing the deal on the Pineywoods Porker was just 200#s of bonus.

I took this shot from the stand this weekend. The yellow dots represent where the boar stood on the first shot, and where the arrow went...that tree looks much smaller from the stand.

The red dot was the path of the second arrow. He was also a few yards closer on the second shot.

Glad those trees are around for checking our range. Nothing like an old school range finder...

WTG on outsmarting the hog....
