A Wild Hog Bowhunt In Progress - 2003
August 7, 2003 - I settled in at the ladder stand at the Slew Hole. Later on I heard a group of wild hogs and spotted them, but they were going away from me instead of toward me. So I quietly got down. They were on the hillside so I used the woods road that runs through this slim strip of woods. The road made for fast and quiet going so I located them, and followed along down hill. I took this picture as the shadows were getting long. 
Dried leaves were on the ground so both the hogs and I made noise as we walked. But I made a noise that they heard and one of them, a boar, turned back in my direction, looking for the source of the sound. That was a mistake. My arrow popped through his lungs at 8 yards and he raced for 10 yards and piled up noisily in the brush. The other hogs scooted up the hill a short ways and grunted and snorted while they paced around. Sunlight had faded in the woods when I heard them move out of the area.    NEXT
