Default I arrowed the toughest hog ive ever seen

I shot a hog this last Fri. at about 25 yards. The arrow was put right in the boiler room. Got two lungs, and nicked the top of the heart (all confirmed when I cleaned it). I was stalking with my compound and came up on some hogs by the river. I shot at and hit aboar, and it took off towards the river. It ran over 150 yards through thick brush to get to the river, jumped in the river and swam another75+ yards to the other side. It then ran up the river bank another 100 yards. Once it cleared the river, it hit a CRP field and ran another 500+ yards across the field. Once it cleared the field, it hit the highway, which is where I could not see it anymore. I gave it about 45min. to lay, then went after it. I drove along the highway to find the blood trail, which was easy to spot, it was pretty thick. The hog ran along the highway for about another 200 yards before dieing. I found it on the side of the road, in some brush. This thing was never jumped, it just ran. I was able to watch it for most of the trip from my vantage point. If not, it would have been a booger to find. I could not believe how far this thing ran. I have yet to have a hog run this far with a double lunger, muchless a nicked heart. I found it amazing.
