Marshall,
great story...........It took me about 4 years to learn enough to kill a Javelina witha bow.
One thing.....if you have a pig walking within 50 yards of you and he has no idea you are around, try woofing a couple of times instead of blowing that call. Then make loud "smacking" noises like a pig would when chewing. usually, the pig will come to see what teh 'other pig" is eating. But, dont overdo the woofing. remeber, they will try to circle downwind, so be ready.
Where did you apply for the fall pig hunt?
