Ah, do you mean you won't have to drag it back to the truck. If I was by myself, I would have to drag that big sucker WITH the truck, BACK home. I couldn't get it in the bed of the truck by myself. That's one BIG pig.

Nice hawg, Curtis !!

been moonlightn again hain't ya. WHAT A HOG!      

Great hog Curtis.     Looks like the old thunderstick put a hurtin on him.

Unless I'm seeing things looks like that shot was right smack in the armpit where they say is the best place on Bigggggg Hawgs. Ya did good, LittleFeather!

Awesome Bro!!!! Lookin forward to the story behind this one."Hunting the moon" has to be a cool experience. Good for you bro...congrats on another fine hog          

Too cool,I live in the wrong d@mn state!congrats.

Let me just comment on your success with all due respect and pride in your accomplishment....

NO FAIR,NO FAIR, NO FAIR!!!

(GUYS...Curtis emailed me the story. This wasn't the big one he's been after)

Boff... He means he had to drag this hog back to the house with the truck. He sure didn't load it IN the truck by himself.

Curtis, real nice piggy and looks like a 10 ring shot too. Also looks like you were shooting a Reynolds bow, gotta love how they shoot. Can I stop by and play bows n arrows when I come to TX this Feburary?

Son thats some serious 'BACON & PORK CHOPS!!!ya done good bud!!!          

HOLY CRAP   :eek:   Cool color!

Way to go CK  

That one needs ta be in the dangerous game forum.
Congrats Mister Curtis  

Dang Curt! I Think I need to build a bigger bow???

To quote Charalotte "That's some pig"!

OK, I've gotten two and a half hours sleep and Im up and running. Debbie headed to her deer spot this morning hampering my search for piggy #2.

(The story) The hogs have been kicking my butt lately. The extreem pressure me and Charlie Lamb put on them a couple of weeks ago really educated them. They seem to be busting me every hunt.
Well, I educated them again by moving to a new location.

The moon was fantastic last night. I could easily see 100 yards like it was day time. I've been hunting one particular hog that leaves tracks as big as a coffee cup. I shot at him one night while Charlie was here but my bow contacted a tree limb upon release and I missed. Well, The Big Bruiser was romancing the ladies as he passed me at 10:40 pm. with no front feet on the ground. He was doing some serious breeding!!!! This white Bruiser I killed would rush him and fight for a minute then the big fella would knock him on his butt. The big one has 6" over this hog and probably another 75-100#.

Finally, without any notice the big sow exited with Big Boy in tow. This was a critical juncture. I decide without thought to capitalize on the moment and as soon as Mr Whitey turns I put a Griz 190 through both lungs and heart. He was down in 100 yards. He wasn't the one I wanted but he's a fine trophy anyway.

A few stragglers hear the commotion and come cruizing through about two minutes after the shot. I instantly grab a Doug Campbell Trade point and run it through a much smaller hog. I should find the hog this morning when Debbie gets in from hunting. He was hit a little high but the arrow was sticking out both sides as he departed.

Specs: Thunderstick 2, 60", 51#@26". Arrow Dynamics Carbon tipped with a Grizzly 190 and a 40 gr insert. Hogs weight? I'll leave that to your imagination. Thanks for the replies. Hopefully there is more story to unfold later. Curtis

Another angle:    

I'll say it again...AWESOME!!!!!!!


Ya know I was thinking before,it seems like you always kill em a couple at a time.

Boy I sure am gonna miss being at TS2 with you guys.....Bummin'  :(

Great shot and awesome pig!  Soooooie!

Claudia

Nice Pigs Littlefeather.  Thanks for sharin and keeping my imagination of some future hunt intact.

Now for the ugly conclusion.

I've absolutely done everything I can do to find pig #2 but to no avail. I knew that the shot was high last night when it all played out. I've searched every inch of property within a mile and not even a sign. To make things worse, I lost the arrow with Doug Campbells trade point on it. Im really dissappointed because Id planned to send the arrow to Guru for his collection once Id made meat with it. I guess I'll have to use the last trade point I have to go out and do in another pig. The roller coaster ride continues. CK
