Default RE: BOWHUNTING FOR WILD BOAR!!!!!

If your hunting on a preserve you will probably be hunting over or near a feeder so shots should be about 20 yards. I have killed alot of hog pulling 60lbs and 100gr wasp heads. Stick to fixed blade heads and you will be fine. They aren;t as hard to kill as most folk make them out to be. I have never had on run more than 50 yrds or so but they don't leave the best blood trail due to all the fat clogging the hole so be prepared when you have to trail them. If you are hunting over a feeder stay in your stand after you shoot and if there are more pigs with the one you shot they will probably come back in a few minutes giving you a chance at another pig. I once killed 3 pigs this way and could have killed at least one more cause they came back even after shooting the 3rd pig. I had to wait for them to finish feeding and wander off before getting down.
