So, I haven't killed anything of the swine variety, but I did shot a hog last night! We went bowfishing on Richland Chambers Lake last night, which is a 41,000 acre man-made lake near Fairfield. Crossing the bridge, the thing looked like an ocean. It was huge!
The weather was iffy all day and it was supposed to rain during the night (when we were to be on the lake). It started misting just as we arrived at the marina, but when the boats showed up, it stopped and was still in the mid-60's when we pulled back into the dock at 2:30am.
The fishing was absolutely amazing! There were three of us on each of two boats. We were all standing on the bow, which was lit with floodlights. Some of the fish were clearly visible, but for the most part, you could only determine a fish's presence by a slightly lighter color in the sandy-colored water.
In all, we shot over 35 carp, drum, buffalo, and gar. I shot the biggest fish (some would argue the small ones are tougher targets), which was a 15lb buffalo.
I think I've discovered a new hobby! (sorry, Gina).

Justin,
I am so jealous of you.

Justin, you're a killing machine. This wasn't one of those trips where you have to eat everything you kill, is it? Interesting buffet of gar, racoons and bobcat if so.
Rick, no, I didn't eat any of it. Usually we have a hog roast during the week, but it seems all we could find is predators and bottom feeders-not good table fare. I did bring you back a raccoon leg to nibble on.
