Shot placement
FWIW, I asked my brother and nephew almost the exact same question, 'If you were able to align the perfect shot, what would you want? Where would you place the shot?"
They mentioned the neck and behind the ear. My nephew answered to take the shot behind the shoulder blade, about 1/2 up the chest.
I remembered that when I took the shot on my first, and only hog since I am new to this. Using a .30-30 with 150 grain Kore-lokt Winchester ammo, The wound channel went through both lungs, shredded the top-rear part of the heart and lodged against the left shoulder blade.
He took off but dropped maybe 30yds or so away.
Hope that helps.
