It was my second year at the refuge. I was hoping to shoot something this year and not miss like last year.It was almost time to head home. I was getting worried that i was not going to shot something this year to. I had just started to pick up my things when i felt something was staring at me. I turned around and there it was standing and staring at me. It was 8 yards away from me. I got my bow and drew. It started to walk in the woods so i made a noise and it stopped. pufff!!!! my arrow was off. it was a double lung shot. It took off and fell 20 yards from where i shot it. It was one of the best days of my life.

Got my first bow kill 10/21/2011 it was a 100 lbs. doe 12 yard shot in the spine dropped in her tracks, you talk about feel the rush baby.

Open day kill with bow about 25 yards. 8 point 15" spread 160 lbs. First buck kill with bow.

My grandson Parker Smith got his first kill ever and his first kill with his Vision Crossbow. Kid is deadly with it as you can see!

This Gobbler had a 10.5" beard, 1" spurs and weighed about 25 lbs or better.  Shot w/ Remington Nitro Turkey #5 through my brand new never been shot Benelli Nova 12 ga pump w/ Primos Jelly Head turkey choke.  Shot on Davis Island in Tensas Parish, LA (where my father-in-law lives).

This was a very special hunt for me and my father-in-law, with many firsts.  First time hunting w/ my father-in-law, first turkey I've ever killed, first gobbler he's ever managed to call in for a kill (and man did that gobbler come truckin down that road lookin for love...talk about an adrenaline rush), and first shot through my new shotgun much less killing anything w/ any shotgun.

Randy Bonney with his first bow kill hog 100lb young boar at 20 yards.  The deer pics are of some muleys standing in our camp after the hunt looking for handouts. www.redriverboars.com

Between killing all the other hogs and these 3 doing the wrong nasty maybe our hog problem will breed their way out......LOL.........We can only pray.......Maybe the state could use these 3 Boars to stop the over-growth we have now and then we would only have the 3 left to kill and  POFF no more hogs.....LOL....just a thought
