Bowhunting the Warthog in South Africa

[Joel]

The warthog was the first animal I harvested during my safari. I had not seen many warthog prior to the one I shot so I wanted to make sure he was a good representative of a mature warthog. Otto, my PH assured me the warthog was mature! I made a great shot and the wart hog still traveled 150 to 175 yards with both lungs pierced before talking a "dirt nap"....as my buddy Tony likes to say...

I was amazed to find out that my warthog was probably 15 years old. I later found out that some warthog can live up to 25 years.

This is one of my favorite videos and trophy from my trip.

Yes he did. What happen

Short version:

We brought 2 cases of Titos Vodka and the PH's took a liking to it. One late night around the campfire they decided to sneak up on each other and light each other's beards on fire with lighters. Otto took the brunt of the sneak attacks.
The next morning he didn't remember what happened. It looked like a cat pulled out patches of hair all over his face. He finally caved and had to shave. There wasn't any saving that mess.

We did a little celebrating but never got that crazy!
