Good fish and good shot Dan!

January 23, 2012.
20 plus pound Boar Racoon.
10:30 pm; Me, my dog, my bow, 3 arrows and a headlamp. Dog treed the racoon the 2nd time in a thick part of the swamp.
I got into position, twisted the headlamp sideways on my head, and was able to get as arrow into him taking about a 40 foot straight up shot.
Coon took the arrow just in front of the hindquarter and out the front shoulder. The tree kept the arrow from passing thru. Took the racoon about 30 seconds or so before he fell.
He was mad when he hit the ground and briefly took it out on the catbriars.
It was exciting. Boy, they sure can make some wicked sounds.

Wicked picture Jake. Mike
