PLACING A SHOT OFF THE SHOULDER INTO THE RIB CAGE WILL NOT HIT THE HEART LUNG AREA! SHOTS MUST BE PLACED INTO THE MID SHOULDER OR NECK

I totally disagree.if you look at the hand in the pic. stright down is the leg. shoot for the point of the elbow(just like a deer) will take out the heart.just behind and above will get the lungs.

a hog id built a little like a tank.low and the shield protects the heart and lungs from the tush of other boars.as far as B/P and good broadheads they will take them out with no problems unless you hit the bone with the broadhead.a quartering away,slip it in just behind the leg will work great.
to me from my experences(for the last 40 years of hog hunting) hogs are easier to take down than deer.an old buck will go and go and go.

thats just me ; "some will disagree with me on this ; but there wrong" LOL no offence!!
