Hog Hunt With Jay Liechty of Grim Reaper Broadheads
| Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3
 
Jay Liechty and I are field testing the new RAZORCUT broadhead that Jay's company Grim Reaper Broadheads introduced at this year's ATA Archery Trade Show in January.

This bowhunt was at Billy Don's Wild Horse Prairie Ranch between Burnet and Lampassas, Texas.

Billy Don arrived and we hunted two more days. Jay saw lots of hogs including 7 monsters that "looked like young buffalos". He had a good time and  learned how smart the really big hogs are. 

Jay shot the hogs with 1 3/4 inch cut Grim Reaper RAZORTIP 100 grain broadheads, shot out of a Mathew's Black Max 2, by a Scott Caliper release. His arrows were Gold Tip Upltra Lights. The Razortip 100 proved itself to be a tough and lethal on wild hogs. 

"The ranch is a very large area, 10,000 acre, and has a lot of animals. On one the the trips back to the blind we saw over 100 hogs. Billy Don strives very hard to provide a good hunt for his hunters. They have the biggest hogs I've ever seen. I really enjoyed the big fire place."

Billy Don and I discussed our plans for the 3rd Annual Bowhunting.net Bowhunt in October at his ranch (for info Click Here). I wanted to take pictures of wild turkeys and since the ranch is loaded with them I got the chance, big time.

I set up a Double Bull blind on a hillside that turkeys use to go to their roost. Here is the blind, tucked away in the shadows of the trees. 

 I don't know if it is always this way but almost every wild turkey I saw was a gobbler. 

I put together a photo gallery of the wild turkeys that passed by. The turkeys going to the left are headed in the direction of a nearby spring fed river. The ones going right are coming from the roost area and on their way to do turkey stuff. To The Gobblers.
