Ive killed hogs with any weapon you can imagine and some most cant stomach ( knife, club, palmetto root, mud puddle to name a few). My point being, hogs aint near as tough as everybody makes em out to be, you gotta shoot practically not ethically, if you hit em behind the ear in the soft part of the neck even if he aint paralyzed youll have a 10 ft wide blood trail. If the jugular doesnt present itself shoot for the spine and break em down.
