2023 archery pigs

Recommended Posts

The first two weeks was basically chasing pigs in the flats as they never moved up in the hills. 0 opportunities and a whole lot of exercise. The warm weather has em holding low and being very mobile and moving constantly. We were excited for a cold weekend, it’ll keep the pigs feeding in a small area.  My son and I snuck out Saturday morning for a quick hunt before an afternoon bday party. We glassed up a herd feeding and made a move, I was able to stick an arrow in this herd boar with my recurve, he freaked on me and took 2 more in the chamber before dying.  My son got to watch the whole show by my side which was great. Battle scars everywhere.  He bit off and broke two of my arrows.

This morning it was just pops and I out trying to keep his archery success streak alive.   The morning started off dull until 9:30 when a herd was spotted feeding on an agave.  We made a move and crept up to 17 yards and pops was able to harvest this old old sow. Molars were worn down to nubs and very little meat on her frame.

Way to go Tyler!  Don't remember you using a recurve before.... Could be wrong.  Awesome to have the kid with you 10x the fun! Congrats to your pops too.

I picked up a recurve 3 years ago, luckily been able to harvest 3 as well.  My shots are usually under 15 yards, I figured a recurve would be a lot more fun than a compound.  Cheaper too because I always recover my arrows on missed shots

Very cool man. Well done. I wanna go that route eventually but I wanna kill some more stuff with my compound bow first.
