    Pig with the bow

    I went out for a 3 day hunt hoping to get a deer with the bow. The weather was great and saw a few deer but nothing that was stalkable with the bow. On the second night I saw some pigs feeding on a face to I could stalk into. I was able to come out just above them and had a 38yard quartering away shot on one of them. The arrow did the job, passing though and into the stones (which broke the tip off). The blood trail was insane, easily the easiest tracking job I’ve had. He didn’t go far, about 30 yards and that was because it was all downhill.

    Cooked up the tenderloin and the heart on the fire that night. Tasted great

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
