RE: Bad hit?
We shot one a couple of weeks ago in about the same place high and mid body on a 125lb boar. He ran off like nothing had happened. After waiting a couple of hours, I put down the bow and picked up my .357 mag and began the tracking job. I found him 200 yards later under a big deadfall, and he charged me like he had never been hit. After some brief negotiations I inspected the arrow wound to find one vertebra was completely shattered and removed from the spinal column, but the spinal cord was untouched. I have no idea how that pig was able to move, much less try to put up a fight.
