Default RE: What type broadhead for hogs?

This is probably one of the most asked questions on the forums and I always answer it the same way. Choose your Broadhead based on your location not the hog. Lots of people like to stay away from expandables when it comes to pigs, but there are some tuff expandables that will get you a pig. The reason I say location is because if you are hunting heavy cover like we do down here in Florida, you need blood almost immedietly. BLOOD, not neccesarily the greatest penetration. You can bury a braodhead deep inside a big old boar, but if he doesn't start dropping blood for the first 50 yards, he has now disappeared into a maze of palmettos and sawgrass and you don't even know where to begin. I personally would rather track for 200 yds with blood than search a 50yd circle with none. I've seen it happen a million times. All that fat and thick skin loves to plug holes and then it's needle in the haystack time. Best of luck to you.
