RE: shot placement on hogs
Bowhunting for hogs can certainly be a load of fun. We have lots of hunters that come here just for that purpose.
However, you better place that shot behind the shoulder in the vitals and be prepared to do a little walking. An arrowis not going to go through that iron plate of a shoulder.
I have seen hogs (rifle shot) with their hearts blown to pieces run a looooooong distance. On the other hand, I have seen some drop on the spot.
Do whatever you are comfortable with and most of all.......enjoy your hunt!!
Best of luck!
