Those things can't see very well at all in my experiencebut can smell you out.

Guys I was hunting with got pass-throughs on their hogs (they all have long draws though). I didn't get pass throughs but just hit em in the right spot and you'll be good.

They say the younger/smaller ones are better to eat.

good luck.

I bowhunt them every chance I get. At least once a week year round. I just got a recurve to add to the fun and have more low light opportunities.
EDIT: At 10-15 yards I will shoot for the head or neck. Put an arrow right behind and under the ear and there is no need to worry about trailing. Neck shots leave massive blood trails or hit the spine and drop them in thier tracks. And for those of you who want to question my ethics for taking these shots let me make this clear. I have no ethics involving hogs. They are fun to hunt but they are pests and nothing more IMHO.
