3 YARDS SHORT

Well I finally made it out on the last day of the 2012 archery javelina hunt. I normally don't care to kill the little stink bombs anymore but I had it in my mind to kill one at a 100+ yards on film. My brother came out with me to run the camera and hang out for the evening. We went to the point where we were going to glass from and glassed for 30 mins before we decide to back out and explore new country. As we walked back out I heard pigs below us in the thick wash. Within minutes pigs were coming out of every nook and cranny. They made their way up the other side of the canyon headed away from us. They were everywhere but we had to wait for a mature boar to present himself closer to the range we were hoping to achieve. After 10 minutes of waiting for them to move out and spread the chosen boar stood broadside at 97 yards. Gabriel rolled the camera and it was on! I re ranged to be certain, drew, settled my pin, and let it fly!!! I hit him about 3 inches low of where I was aiming. The arrow passed completely through and touched his heart as it passed. He only went 40 yards and paused as he pumped blood everywhere. He expired very quickly thereafter. So now I have great footage on my new camera thanks to Gabriel and I can't figure out how to extract it haha. As soon as I figure out how to get it off the camera I'll share the footage with you. Thank you Gabriel for sharing this good time in the field with me and I look forward to sharing the film with all of you!!
