Good stuff, Pedro!
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

Great stuff Pedro and interesting pig, I shot a sow out that way year years back now that was very simular in colour, must be the genes in the area. How did old mate go?

It's just grass that appears broken up by the crappiness of digital photography.

nige, i reckon the bows around 46lb at my draw, using 35-55 gold tips and 190g tusker concords. ithink the total arrow is 530g. the one i used that day are wood grain with wraps and high vis 4'' shield cuts. they fly well out to 30-35 which is firther than i shoot anyway. 46lb is enough i reckon. ive got heaver bows but rather not strugle to draw. the pig i got good penetration, up to the fletching on the point of the shoulder from around 12-15 paces.

yeh jeff, when ive a spare day ill let you know!

Nice one Pedro.
Definately an interesting coat on that pig, the silvery tips look great. You'll have to post up some pics when you've finished with the taxidermy.
It's all about the journey.
