How far was the track job? Did he go 20?

 

[DroptineKrazy]

Actually about 15. Haha!

First critter I ever killed with a bow was a ground hog. Neck shot. Never twitched. In fact, he died with the piece of clover he was munching on still in his mouth.

Nice! I sort of wish we had those around here. I'm sure that would change if we actually got them, lol. I do have an armadillo making nightly raids on my yard but so far, he has eluded me. I would not sully an arrow on an armadillo, though, nasty little critters.

I have to do Racoon control or not plant corn, so I 17 hmr their little corn eating butts.

Trust me...you don't want them. They suck.
But if you do have them, then make the best of the targets they provide.
I killed 6 last year with judos from my recurve.
Killed another couple dozen with the .22 and a few with the 5.56. Longest shot was 185 yards from my porch. There has been years that I've shot over 50 without leaving my deck.
Miserable things.

I bet. I have enough trouble with armadillos and moles.

Those are great eating. I absolutely love ground hog. Growing up my brother and I killed every one within walking distance of our house then any we could drive to. With everything from pellet gun to 12ga, bows included. Skin simmer then bake with some cream of mushroom soup with potatoes and carrots. I’d pass up a backstrap meal to have a mess of whistle pig.

Not sure I would pass up backstrap but I do love me some groundhog cooked in foil over the coals with a little spicy bbq sauce . We used to go all the time when I was younger, they actually make good practice for rifle shooting accuracy, head shots only.

Finally someone who knows good food. lol. They are just a vegetarian like any other rabbit or squirrel only better.

I guess one could deep fry them. We either did a roast type meal or breaded and pan fry. We ate hundreds of them and the roast style is the best to me

Any idea where the name whistle pig comes from? I bet they are good eating if cooked right, about the same idea as a squirrel or rabbit. We just don't have them around here.

When they alarm call they whistle. It is a very high pitched short bark. Everyone back home growing up called them that.
