RE: Penetration or devastation; that is the question
Nic.
You are not the first person to mention the elbow as an aiming point but it sure seems like an unforgiving place to aim. Shoot a little low and you missed completely. I think I will take your advice and aim there if the hog is not moving around. I was hoping that someone else had used a large expandable on hogs before and would confirm what I am suspecting. If I can consistently drop them within 100 yards I would be happy with that. We use a dog to blood trail and it will go right to one that is on the ground; even if there is no blood. I can’t tell you how many times the dog has saved us. That was the smartest thing we ever did. So I guess I will use the Hammerhead and let yall know if misfortune visits me again. If I could figure out how to post photos I would post some of my kills. Nic, the hogs seem to be good size but the tusks are not that large. Not like I’ve seen some photos of. The last ones were about 1 ½ to 2 in, the one I shot last year was heavier but had even smaller tusk. I know very little about hogs and have no idea why this would be; I would guess genetics like deer.
