Are those big boars any good to eat? I have been told by some there are and others say there not.

They are usually OK to eat. The family i gave that hog too say the meat is not strong tasting. This year OBL hog ate corn from our feeder since we filled it in August, maybe that made the difference.

That is one large hog. And a heck of a set of tusks it looks like. It will be interesting to learn his weight. Congratulations on harvesting such a great hog as that. That really is something.

Cayugad and RebelHog are right. That hog was hit high in the lungs. Was sitting in a stand about 14 feet higher than the hog. The bullet nicked the right lung and hit the left one lower.

Here is a nice cutaway of a hog that shows the heart and lungs:

See I never would have guessed the heart as that low. Thanks.

THIS PHOTO ILLUSTRATES THE EXACT PLACEMENT OF THE HEART AND LUNGS AS WELL AS DEPICTING THE LOW DIP IN THE SPINAL COLUMN.
NOTE,, the shot was made with a 220 SWIFT (.224 cal 52grn MATCH HPBT 3,900 FPS Muzzle) into the mid-neck region. The wound channel (disrupted tissue) is clear to see. The spine was severely damaged along with major arteries and veins as well as portions of the lungs. Even though the majority of the "PUMP STATION" was left unbruised the hog fell directly in his tracks. No tracking was needed.

All times are GMT -8. The time now is 09:42 PM.
