Head shot? Makes me think you didn't want to track him through the brush in the dark.
That hog was 20 yards away from a thicket when he dropped, and if he had made it to the thicket, I definitely wasn't going after him. I have had so much trouble with hogs rooting up my pastures over the last few years that I generally just gut shoot them and let them run off and die. As hot and humid as to was last night, I wish I had done that with him.
