Hog hunt sucess tonight...
« on: November 14, 2014, 02:01:19 am »
I posted some spears I made in the flintknapping section a couple days ago and tonight I actually killed a 130lb sow with one ! I have a friend with a large orange grove that is over run with fat hogs eatin all those oranges. He has a dog we let loose till we heard it baying up the pig. We found the dog and pig facing off and doin the dance, but after getting in close one thrust is all it took. The point entered the pig and it immediately spun around bending the spear almost breaking the mulberry shaft. You can see from the pic the spear shaft is still bent ! Next time I'm using oak on these tough SOB's ! The point didnt sustain a bit of damage it performed flawlessly.This hunt was planned for a while and I'm so glad it all came together and the equipment worked well.

Yall be easy I'll be eating pulled pork sliders like they are going out of style...

Nice lookin point and it sure did the job! :o

Dang dude, you're an animal!  Congrats on the hog.  Now you need to go get one with your bow and arrow.
