i have hit hogs an actully one doe in the head with a arrow i wasnt aiming there but it happenedit took the hogs down pretty quick but the doe i hit right between the eyes an didnt mean to (my first bow kill) it came out the back of her head an i waited 2 hours to look for her an when we found he she was still alive i had to shoot her again so no i dont think its ethical

He shot, he killed, ethical shot.

Some of those people think thats the greatest shot in the world because he nailed him in the head. Sounds like a kid to me.

Head shots are unethical with a bow, period!!!

Personally when it comes to hogs ive seen what they can do to land and to a person. Kill em all. I have no use for them, kill them any manner you wish a dead pig is a good pig as long as its in the frying pan! Great pig man.

I don't agree with taking a head shot with a bow, don't see it as being ethical or respectful to the animal. No matter what the circumstances are if you say what you believe than there is no need to apologize.

SO what, it's a hog. Wish all youhoghunters would come to my club and eradicate them.

I'll need directions!

I have been thinking about this. The owner of my lease wants hogs killed. He doesn't care how. Some of you may not understand this but I liken hogs to rats. They are vermin.How many of you are concerned about the suffering a rat goes through when it eats the poison you put out for it?
Hogs are fun to hunt. I enjoy it almost as much as I enjoy deer hunting, however I put the animals in very distinct and different catagories. I liken killing hogs to killing rats. Dead is dead and that is all that matters. I understand that I'm opening myself up to criticism. Thats OK. I just want you to understand how some people feel about feral hogs. They are not a noble game animal in the minds of many.
I would much prefer a shot at heart/lungs, however if a head shot is all that is offered I will take it.
How many of you that condemn this have experience with hogs?
Critr-Gitr, your opinion is yours and I respect how you feel. I hope people may understand better how I feel whether or not my opinion is respected.

I would have to disagree with the generalizationor correlation ofinexperienced bowhunters and headshots. If you disagree, take a look at Rick Welch's second video.

Not saying I am for or against the shot, I really do not have an opinion either way.

Here is a pretty neet video to take a look at though (watch the whole thing):
