Below are Images of Bow-Harvested Animals from the 2009-2010 Bowhunting Season
(Page 6)



Pictured above is (L to R) is MBA Member Steve Dugger of Carrollton, MS with his 225 pound wild boar that he arrowed and recovered while bowhunting @ Hillside National Wildlife Refuge (Theodore Roosevelt National Wildlife Refuge Complex near Eden, MS). Steve took this wild boar on 10-5-2009 while hunting a honey locust tree. Below is Steve's account of his bowhunting experience:

"When this wild boar came across a ridge coming to the honey locus tree (that I was hunting), I took a 15 yard shot placing my arrow through the lungs and he went down within 40 yards falling in site of my stand. I was shooting a Mathews Drenalin bow set at 70 pounds and was using a G5 Striker broadhead and Easton Axis Arrows. Hunting with me was my good friend Phillip Whitworth from Yazoo City, MS. (the bottom image). This was also my first hog ever, what a "Drenalin Rush". My wild boar had 2 3/4 inch tusks and he had buckshot in his shoulder. These critters are Tough! Thanks and I am glad to be a bowhunter. Also I would like to thank all members of the MBA... without you guys standing up for this great sport, our children will never get a chance to experience Gods awesome creations!"

Congratulations Steve on taking such a fine animal and thanks Steve for sharing your awesome bowhunting experience with our bowhunting community.
