This morning I was fortunate enough to use my bow to punch my Wisconsin Grizzly bear tag by taking this 800 Lb. monster. My garden will be safe after I take the other one ive seen. I was only able to take this massive boar. The other one escaped before I could get a shot. I brought it down with a single arrow from 30 yards. The beast didnt travel 10 steps. Complete pass through. 700 grain arrow with 250 grain Cutthroat single bevel broadhead.

well done! they grow big in Wisconsin... good thing you had 700 grains or you may had had insufficient penetration on that gnarly toothed BEAST.

This thing was chucking wood when I did a spot and stalk. It never knew what hit him.

One of the smaller cubs returned while I was packing out game bags of meat so I took it as well.

The jack-a-lopes here in the south can reak havoc as well. Just imagine if they would cross breed.

Have 4 or 5 that hang on the hillside beside the yard. They live in fear of Merlot the 30 pound English Cocker. If they don't make it to the hole they wish they did. One resides under the deck and only knows one escape route back. Which will eventually be his undoing.
Addition: Had an English Springer "Duffy" that his first encounter didn't work out too well and he got tore up pretty good. From that day on he killed them at every turn and eventually would go undergound after them. He would sometimes take off to the back wood on a hunt. If you didn't get him, he would come home and leave a dead Groundhog on the deck and then go back. Couple days later he would show up, caked in mud and dirt waiting with another dead one. Best pure Bird Dog I ever had.
