Second times the charm!!!!

Second times the charm!!!! - 10/10/14 11:07 PM

Today has been he most adrenaline rushed day ever! My first two hunts and I got one this evening.
It was not a deer but I think I made a great shot on either a small feral hog or a very large raccoon. Sounded very angry when shot and loud noise about 10 seconds after shot.

Interesting shooting and not knowing what you are shooting at this morning and now shooting at something and still not knowing what it was.

He was coming behind me through the bushes quickly. I knew it was nothing I shouldn't be shooting. Does the shaking ever stop?

I found really red blood on arrow and ground. Should I take up the trail or try to find some help?

You should ALWAYS know exactly what you are shooting at and what is just beyond said target. There are areas of this state that you may THINK you are shooting at a hog but it could be a black bear and the game warden won't care that you THOUGHT it was something else. Don't be so anxious to just kill something. dunce

I say go track it and see what it was

Go trail it and see what it is.

Just so you know, and I'm sure you soon will, you should know what you're shooting at before you shoot it. One of the first rules of safety.

I understand, I think my nerves got the best of me. It all happened so fast and like you said being anxious to get a harvest. I am going to start trailing.

This has to be a joke post. Surely no one would post doing something this dumb.

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 01:21 AM

For all those that doubt I have proof. How do I post pictures?

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 01:22 AM

Or can I text phones to someone who can post them?

Txs, congrats on hitting something - hoping it was the right something. Didn't you have to take the state hunter's safety course and learn to never shoot at something without absolutely knowing what it is and your shot route?

Stx Any ideal on why photobucket won't upload my pictures?

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 01:52 AM

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 02:13 AM

A feral hog, banana

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 02:34 AM

Glad it was a hog and not someone's dog...but congrats on the kill if it is in fact a real Kill. Pics would be awesome so we could see your harvest up

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 02:44 AM

I cannot get the photobucket to upload pictures. I would be more than willing to send to someone to post.

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 05:40 PM

I realize what you all are saying about shooting at an unknown target. Being so new to this I really had no idea what to expect and and learning a great deal. Opposite from many of you I was never raised hunting or fishing by my father or grandfather. I am now 37 and starting out with little to no help. As many of you asked I did take a hunters course but its been a very very long time. I have 130 acres my father in law has so graciously let me hunt on. I bought a diamond outlaw this summer and some arrows at bass pro shops. I have been practicing when I can and keeping my range to 20 yards. As stated my nerves honestly took over I was shaking uncontrollably. Luckily I am using a safety harness that came with my stand. I really don't appreciate being called out as a troll but honestly have little knowledge and I do appreciate all help you have to offer. I will be hunting until Sunday evening then headed back to work but will defiantly be doing my share of reading on here to help me out. Thanks everyone who has welcomed me and helped. Good luck this weekend!

marinate the tenderloins in Italian dressing before grilling them

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 07:17 PM

No more dark shots. One you unsure what your really shooting. Two if you can't see what it is you could place the shot to far back causing the animal to suffer. Just sit back and enjoy nature. Don't try to stick an arrow in anything that makes a sound or moves.

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 09:27 PM

Good blood on that arrow

Re: Second times the charm!!!! - 10/11/14 11:05 PM

Try sitting back and watching animals some before being so quick on the draw. I understand its exciting but sound shooting is dangerous. Sit back and enjoy the rush of adrenaline. Some of my favorite hunts I never fired a shot.

Great first kill
