UP CLOSE Ground Hunting Hogs - Recurves and Self BOWS!

This week Fen and I are back down in the heart of Florida cattle country traditional bow hunting wild hogs on the ground with friends, Scott and Alex Crippen. Florida is home to an estimated half a million feral hogs and Scott's ranch has no shortage of them. Last year Fen shot two hogs with his recurve selfbow and not long after beginning this hunt, he gets another crack at a big boar.

You have now been reported to KZbin for "animal cruelty." As you are a criminal you should be put in prison!

[@clayhayeshunter]

I should be put in prison for killing and eating an invasive species. 🤔 Your ignorance is showing. You should tuck that back in…

Absolutely love Flip! You are very lucky to know him. Fen is stretching out. It’s been pretty cool to watch these boys grow up. Fen will get an arrow in one again soon. Looked like a lot of fun. That was a bunch of traditional archers in one place! Thanks for sharing

[@nohillforahighstepper]

What a great property to have access on. I loved the comment, "it happens. Not to me but it happens". lol Thanks for taking us along. 😊😊😊

Glad you enjoyed it

[@caseysmith544]

@@clayhayeshunter A tip I have for Fin is I put on my armguard and finger glove in my Arrow back quiver pocket before leaving if I am not taking my bow with case. So for him put it on his bow quiver over an arrow before snapping in place.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Yep, I usually have him wrap it around his bow handle but when left on his own, well…😜

[@caseysmith544]

@@clayhayeshunter He is a Young teen, he will grow up by about 15--16 for most teens. I know I have to remember mine and I used to be really bad at remembering my arm guard and glove. I think I lost my first glove in 2000's at 14 which was in first stages of dying anyhow and used a universal left right tab I found left by a club member kid who outgrew a 10--12 age tab even when I hated using said finger protection because of being vinyl leather. Last use of tab in 2009 I got stuck on finger, too far back at age 18--19 and had to destroy it. I did not do archery again until 2021.

[@kevinwilliamlowe3050]

Flip!! Great to see him ! One of my fly fishing hero’s! Him and lefty! Miss lefty! Had a personal fly cast instruction from him years ago I’ll never forget.

[@clayhayeshunter]

He’s one of a kind!

[@brianbaldwin3700]

Damn man! That was one of my favorite videos from you since the beginning! The boys out learning from their father's, the excitement, the combined knowledge that was there and the outcome when you are persistent! What a great life experience and lesson if you pay attention

[@clayhayeshunter]

Many thanks

[@ranierrentas4818]

Just seeing Flip Pallot killing it with a traditional bow made the video totally worth it. Great videos. I just picked up my first bow ever (recurve) and I'm learning a lot from your videos.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Have fun

[@eddiec4058]

Enjoyed the video. Now that's my kind of 3D shoot. Friends getting together and just flinging arrows, enjoying each other's friendship.

I love watching Fin go into sneak mode. That boy is a natural born killer.

Wow there is a lot of meat where you guys are at. You guys are blessed with good wildlife.

I'll tell you what I absolutely love living in Florida!!! I just spent 4 days turkey hunting in big cypress, super tough hunt but so daggum beautiful!! I then drove completely across the state to Miami to try for a peacock bass, I then drove to Okeechobee and back across the state and I'm almost home in Sarasota as I'm typing this. Florida interior is a stunningly beautiful place!!!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Yep, lots of outdoor opportunities!

[@paulharding1621]

Thanks as always for sharing, seems that there is plenty of game on the ranch. The rolling plate shoot looked fun.

[@alexdekoning7501]

sir i am proud that you teach your son at an early age the way of life alot of respect to you and your good growing son. :-)

[@trent5327]

I'm always blown away by how close y'all get before you even start stalking, the hogs I've hunted are more spooky than a schizophrenic whitetail lol. Love the videos, keep up the good content!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks 👍

[@manuelgonzalezzambrano1989]

What a beautiful video, seeing those children learn this noble art of traditional bow hunting, it is a blessing. Please ask a question: How much power do children hunt with? Thank you.

Great vid gentlemen! I have to wait until September to do any big game bow hunting up in Wisco, certainly getting the itch to try a recurve for turkey.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Turkey season is coming fast!

Not letting your son evade on camera is hard but the honesty of father and friend is what I love. You want kids to understand life and the lack of conviction it brings in consequence. #carbonfiberarrows

Hey Clay. Planning on a trip to Florida next month and would like to do some hog hunts while I’m there. Any tips on how to fly on a plane with a one piece recurve bow? Thanks

Fen's arrows are awesome. Does he fletch them himself?

[@clayhayeshunter]

Andy Ponce over at Addictive Archery made those.

[@Kurtdog63]

I know they are invasive, but look like great archery quarry. Spot and stalk doesn't work much for deer. Shot two deer off the ground instinctive with compound, but just set up on a trail in thick cover and they walked by. No stalking involved. Looks like windy day is your friend in stalking.

[@warofwrath]

Of course Flip is as good with a bow as he is with a fly rod, why would I expect anything else😂

[@eljuegosramdomsxd5548]

El primer tiro me hizo recordar a Atreus en el primer god of war de la saga nórdica XD

I wish bow hunting license would be easier to acquire here in Italy, you need to apply for a regular rifle license with the limitation of 1 bullet (that includes muskets bows and crossbows) and it's super expensive

[@clayhayeshunter]

That sucks

Where is your ethics? As an adult you shouldn´t let a small child use a live animal as a practice target for live ammunition! A small boy doesn´t know where to aim on a moving target and he doesn´t have the enough strength in the arms to have the arrow penetrate the fur of the animal! SHAME ON YOU!
