@Gerry52 Hunting with air bolts can get intense. I've only done it with an air rifle shooting bolts. The report is pretty loud so it's like hunting with a single-shot airgun except your projectile rips large holes in your quarry and they take longer to load, almost like a muzzle loader. I don't know how air bows sound in comparison. Air bolts are powerful. Hitting trees, big bones, rocks etc can damage the bolts and broadheads. They travel with with good amount of velocity. Bow hunting is a different animal.
@Hal4son Looks like the trocar broke through the top of the orbital bone. I believe that there is a foramen up there and the broadhead likely hit some blood vessels and nerves on the way in. The exit was nasty. I have not seen a shot like that.
Hogs, for one. Hog hunting is another bucket list item for me. Though we do have some here in the San Diego area (but few & far between) I'd rather do it in Texas or other states that are overwhelmed with them.
@Gerry52 In Texas and Louisiana, there are a lot less restrictions on how you can take wild hogs compared to what I've read and heard about California. There are no tags needed here, just a hunting license and permission from the property owner on private property. They can even be hunted on public land in Texas from what I've read earlier in the year. Airguns, arrow guns, night hunting, use of dogs, among other methods are all legal. I'd think that other southern states have similar laws, but I don't want to speculate beyond that statement. However, these animals are nothing to play with.
