My other son got a shot on a big sow. It was also his first shot on anything bigger than a rabbit. He shot a little high and got into the spine. She ran off crashing into the youpons. She was very unsteady on her legs. I got to watch from the ground since he was sitting with his older brother. The herd had winded me at another stand so I got down and pushed the herd to them. After giving her some time we started looking. She broke his arrow about three inches from insert. There was blood about 3 inches up on the arrow. So she still has the broadhead and 3 inches of his arrow. There was virtually no blood other than on his arrow. We scouted the pig trails and previous paths of downed pigs. We never found her. He was upset. I told him the shot placement was high but she was definitely down. At least no no more piglets from her.
