I do agree that that shot was inhumane, especially when he admitted that it was a half skill, half luck shot. I personally would not have taken that particular shot. I would be scared that my arrow would deflect off the boar's head, but more so that I would hit a non vital area such as the jaw, leading in a prolonged death.

I do believe; however, that if they are causing the destruction of crops they can be taken by any means possible. If the hogs are tearing up a farmer's field then any lethal shot would be acceptable to me. I am not talking about your average Joe's corn field out back, but rather a man either living off of his crop or selling his crop for profit. I have heard they can decimate a farmer's crops in the snap of a finger.
