We had 10" of rain in the last 10 days, so it was a muddy mess out there, but it did quit raining Saturday morning. I figured once it stopped raining game would move so I got into the pop-up blind. I hadn't seen one thing until about 30 minutes before legal shooting time was over, and an average size boar showed up. I got a quartering away shot at 20-21 yards and took it. I hit the off side shoulder so no pass through. Hog took off and I heard limbs and rocks in just a few seconds then quiet. I only waited about 15 minutes because light was going pretty fast. Zero blood trail, but the ground was so soft you could follow its tracks easily enough. Hog made it about 30 yards and piled up. Lots of frothy blood at the wound but not anything on ground.
I went back Sunday morning, and had a deer come through very early, just a ghost, but it didn't stick around. At around 6:45 a coyote crossed between me and the feeder. I had almost the exact same shot at it and put it down. My shot was high. I spined it and it went down right on the spot. It had a buddy that I never saw, in the brush but very close that yapped at it for 45 minutes non stop. I guess it couldn't figure out why this one wouldn't come on. I never did see the second yote. After the yapping went on for a while, I tried to call it in with some mouth calling but no luck. It finally stopped yapping and left. I figured after all that my hunt was over so I slipped out to the truck. Colton couldn't believe I got a hog and a coyote on the one time he wasn't with me
The old Exo series bows are wider, but man they are sweet shooters. I sure enjoyed the hunt, shooting the older bow and bringing "parts" back to a working bow. This has been a fun project, even if it is not a beaut!
....Tell him I called again and offered you top $ for his Matrix since he isn't giving it the proper usage!
