Default RE: HOG Hunting!!!!

I just shoot them behind the shoulder, i try to get quartering away shots though.
that would be me too,
my hog that i found was a quarting away shot,ran about 65 yards and died.... wasnt a complete pass through but i oonly shoot 55lbs. , it was at 17 yards....didnt bleed much at all at first, then i saw more and more.....i guess by her running through everything with it still in her made it easier as she went ...the one i lost would of been a lung shot but he jumped forward when i released....devastaing , i tell ya.......a monster, got a bad shot, leg and out the gut......horrible....but he bled ALOT...lost it in the cypress head, just to much water......but i do believe it would of been a good clean kill if he hadnt of jumped..... they've given you great advice , the only thing i can say is dont rush in after , give it time to die, you dont want to jump a wounded , especially a boar hog, lol......
