Enjoyed the video.  A target rich environment.  Wit the number of arrows you shot I thought maybe you were trying to make a porky-pine.  Just kidding.  I know how difficult they can be to bring down sometimes.

Thanks Polar Bear, I think the first arrow would of done the job, but i like to try and put the animal out of it's misery as soon as possible. The second arrow, just glanced of it's head cutting the ear, the third was a pass through  :)

There was another guy in the group shooting one of those things with wheels  :o He had 4 arrows sticking out of his looked like a porky pin cushion  :D

I went back to see the arrow that earmarked the hog....I think I can kinda make it out. 

I agree with you about wanting to help finish things quickly.  I hate losing game, even though he woulda left that even I coulda followed!

good shooting!  a hog rarely goes down like that.
