Lake Sonoma Hog Down!!!!!

[dp1077]

Well guys finally got my first archery hog.Got up to the lake at 5:45 sunday morning.Hike in about 2 mlies at dark to a spot where the hogs have been moving from bedding area to bedding area.Sat in between the two bedding areas next to a well used trail.Next thing I know out of the corner of my eye here comes three hogs.Get ready for my shot and they spot me.They take off running and I let out a grunt and the third hog stops looks back and gives me enough time to draw back the Mathews and let one fly.The 40 yard shot hits him a little far back and he takes off running.I watch him run about 50-60 yds. and stop.He stood there for about 15 mins. before I decide to sneak up on him for a second shot,I let another one fly and I get a good hit(double lung).To make a long story short this boar was a tough SOB.I shot him 4 times and tracked him for about a half a mile before he expired.

Congratulations. I know how much work it takes to get one on public land. It takes me an average of two years, and I hunt almost every weekend during this time of the year. All the talk about water rationing, and the reservoir is almost full. Thanks for the beautiful pictures.
