Texas with the 62in
I had a chance to go to Texas for a few days hunting with my little friend Suzi,my missus was in Bris so couldn't come with us,we got there Wednesday just before dark I set up the camper Suzi wasn't much help ,but I know she'd like to,any way I sharpened the 190 ribbies that I had glued to my tulip oak shafts that nutgrass made for me ready for the morning....i got up about 630am put on my gear grabbed my 62in curve I made for myself and headed towards the scrub, I left Suzi in the camper to sleep,i walked about a hundred yards spotted a pig to my left at abou 15yrds she turned to run so I took the shot I didn't see where the arra went so thought I missed ,walked another 30yrds and could see another pig maybe the same distance as the first with her head behind a tree,there was no clear shot so waited,then she walked out in the open and the arrow hit her just behind the front leg she staggered and fell down dead,so I went to find my arrow from the first pig ,and I was surprised to find it dead too only a few yrds from where ide shot her,the arrow went in in front of her back leg and came out between her front legs,so both pigs were clean quick kills and I blooded my 62 curve all within 10 minits of leaving camp

Well done mate - great to see more game taken! Gotta be happy to be spotting deer from camp too...
The best trophies I can hope to acquire as a husband, father, friend or hunter are MEMORIES!
They will travel with me wherever life's path leads...

Re: Texas with the 62in
thanks Mate,the trouble with the deer was as soon as I unzipped the annex they were already lookin at me,only about 80yrds from camp ,I saw 8 different ones over the time I was there,it was good just seeing them so close,but they sure were switched on

Re: Texas with the 62in
Jees mate, it looks like a good property! How'd you get onto that joint?
What Rod hasn't told you blokes is that a few have tried, but in 3-4 years of going there no-one, except Rod, has taken anything on that block, let alone with Trad gear they made themselves! Awesome stuff Boof, well done indeed!

I'm also stunned he got a self timed photo in the first place.
Ask the photo uploading guru how easy it was to put his new avatar photo up.
