Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Bowhunting Between the Eyes

Had some pigs come in while deer hunting. The red glow is my arrow in flight with Luminok. Arrow went in to the fletch and pig reared up and fell over. Tom

We won't believe it till we see a picture of it dead

Neat pic!

Perfect!!

Way to go!

You mean videos!

Yup

Cool! You should have the head mounted with the arrow sticking out!

The brown one gave you a perfect shot!!!!!! Otherwise good shooting......

I got my first deer that way. I didn't know better, and took a much farther shot than I should have. Nerves and distance put the arrow nowhere near where I wanted it to be, but it hit the doe on the bridge of the nose, traveled an inch and went in directly between the eyes. Broadhead lodged on the backside of the skull. Ironically, after gutting the deer, I dragged her just some 30 yards and came face to face with a bruiser of a buck. Learned to wait after seeing that.

This sow was the boss, throwing other pigs out of the way. I waited some 4-5 minutes for a "behind the ear" shot and it wasn't happening. I video all my shots so I can review in slow motion, Here is another between the eyes (almost) shot. Tom

Have you ever tried to shoot two with one arrow? I've done it with a rifle but I always wanted to do it with archery equipment. Off course the hogs couldn't be too big to pull that off.

Wondering how many you've wounded trying head shots?

In over 45 years of bow hunting I have taken 2 head shots and not on big game animals, so wonder no more. The results I have posted. Tom

Got ya! I'm surprised you penetrated a hogs hard noggin....hogs are vermin and like cockroaches in TX I get it

For the record IMGUR sucks.

Imgur is what some folks suggested. Still trying to get img to post vs link. Sometimes it seems to work, sometimes not. What do you use?
Where I hunt (Camp Bullis) 468 hogs were shot in 3 days from helicopter. They are worse than cock roaches and really interfere with Deer hunting. Tom

Good Lord they really are uncontrollable...I'll be down in March to do my small part in irradiation

Postimg.org is my preferred image hosting platform. STX turned me on to it.

Thanks kingston, I will give it a try, Tom

Wow, it is really simple, Thanks. This was an Elk I called in and my buddy shot a few years ago. Huge body on this Elk. Colorado GMU 63. Tom

Eradication.......

FWIW Imgur doesn't work well for me on this site, but Postimage does.

Living where you do in New York you may not realize how bad the pig problem is. They are not a game animal they are a plague. the way I understand it the sows can begin breading at 6 months of age and they have litters of multiple piglets. They are pretty nocturnal also making them even harder to control by hunting.

This may be cruel or unethical but it is quite common practice to shoot hogs in the gut on purpose so they go off and die somewhere else and you don't have to bother with disposing of the bodies.

I practice shoot and release on all the big pigs (over 200 lbs). It is very normal to see 15-20 pigs in a group that may come in 3 different times during a single night. It is only getting worse as time goes by. 5 years ago there were no pigs on Camp Bullis, now they are everywhere. Tom.

I like that "shoot and release" Ha Ha

Remove the ?1, after.jpg !

I'd like to get that opportunity also, I collect pig skulls, would be neat to have a BH hole right in the forehead of one. Great pic!
