Flags ole buddy, you must not get much hog hunting under your belt bud. It aint often you get a "bang flop" on a hog. Nervous system interruption is about the only way. Neck or back (high shoulder). Otherwise they run. Damn tough critter is a hog my friend. Now yes I have shot several heart shot through the shoulder with my Big Bore rifles and Handguns or Slugs with a bang flop result but trust me. It aint that dang often that they don't high tail it for at least 20 or so yards. More than likely 50+. And I have shot well over 2000 hogs over the years with MANY various calibers and cartridges.

Now granted I will agree with you on the poor shooting on the running shots but his very first shot looked spot on perfect.

As far as getting "very few charges" goes, let me haul you to a few places I hunt them critters and you will change your view on that subject about as quick as you will have to change your drawers! I hunt a few places in Texas where them hogs are meaner than a Alligator with a toothache AND hemorrhoids! Same with a couple of places Bama and Georgia. Suckers are just plain old mean.

But I do in fact agree with you Flags on that one instance NOT being a charge. Trust me though, charges happen way more often than you might think. Hogs are a tough and very dangerous animal when hurt, cornered or just plain in a bad friggin mood.
