Default RE: Weapons for hogs

We had another hog killed this weekend that was walking around with a broadhead in him. That is two now in three weeks. It was a 255lb. boar with a thick shield. The broadhead was a three-blade that was between the shoulder and the ribs. It appeared to have been a quartering away shot and the shield deflected the arrow enough to not penetrate into the vitals but to slip under the leg! The shaft had come unscrewed and was gone. The hog was in good shape except for the damage the broadhead was doing under the leg. Also we found a pure European that was shot in the shoulder last Wednesday with a 300 Win. Mag. The bullet didn't exit and the shield closed up the entrance wound after 200 yds. He made it another 100 yds. beforegoing down.Incredibly tough critters!
