Alright, alright.
First of all, Gary (DRT) is awesome as a host and organizer -- add in photographer. Ben at Three Fingers Bowhunting knows his business and his animals and their habits. And, he has a lot of hogs -- as well as plenty of ungulates (red deer, sika, fallow) plus blackbuck. Anyway, we hunted fairly standard set-ups of box blinds with timed feeder throws for some sessions, but we also mixed it up with some nighttime action and spot and stalk with Ben providing firearm backup, if needed.
Also, need to mention Ronnie, who came all the way from Louisiana and shot three hogs. Great gentleman, and his largest hog was a sow of at least 120 pounds.
Gary made the shot of the weekend on a 124-lb sow running flat-out left to right at 15 yards, making a perfect shot behind the shoulder with a mechanical broadhead that cut a 2-inch gash, dumping buckets of blood and downed her in 30 yards.
It was fortunately my turn as shooter on the spot-and-stalk hunt this morning when we came up on a pair of hogs in a 10-foot deep erosion ravine. The larger brown hog was at a better angle, hard quartering away about 15 yards away at a downward angle. Picked a spot, drew the 70-lb Jay Weathers recurve, and tried to release a smooth shot. Hit right where I looked and buried the 680-grain single bevel Tuffhead over a foot into the hog. When he took off, it became evident that he was pretty big, and he snapped off my arrow on a tree as he ran south.
Followed big splatters of blood for about 150 yards and found the boar stone dead in the creek bottom. Was glad to have four men to get that beast to the truck. Turned out to weigh 238 pounds. Every now and then a blind hog finds an acorn.

It was a helluva shot Ellis. Great trophy.
I enjoyed food and fellowship as much or more than the hunting. Couldn't ask for nicer people to have in camp and hope to be blessed to share some with y'all in the future.
