Big hog with a bow

Postby scrmblr1982cj8 » Mon Oct 06, 2014 8:55 am

This hog was taken with a bow last deer season in South Carolina by Brandon Braxton. The hog came to a corn pile near sunset and walked directly under Brandon's tree stand. Brandon shot this hog in the spine. It took 3 men to drag this hog out of the woods.

Wow!!! 495lbs makes the case for the 450b. what would have happened if it'd have charged? Day ain't many double barreled bows around and if the Back-Up Guy had a bolt or lever gun, with a charge starting at say 50yds They'd get one chance to end the ordeal and if they blow that shot and they often will (see the bullets from Professional hunters fall way behind the animal and even the Back-Up Shooters, for the Back-Up Shooters can't hit the animal at mere feet away.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xmcXuTBO0oo).. Well it's good-By-Nick!!

I gotta question for you pig experts. Knowing the Farm Raised Pigs are butchered at about 225lbs, any heavier and the weight goes into Diminished Returns.

I also know that most of the really big pigs become ground fertilizer.

Question, does anybody eat these monster pigs? Seems to me,you might. I don't care, if the weight to feed ratio is out of whack. Can I eat the monsters? Or is it a challenge in the Kitchen?

But, in any event I'm proud to know you are truly an expert with a bow. Man, I'd through my gun down and run squealing like a girl, at the sight of your Piggy!!

You'd better faster than me or you'll be slipping, just like the Monster, in my Poo. Which "IS" the reason no Griz or Momma Moose, ever caught me!
