I am going on a hog hunt in February and need some help with shot placement. I am hunting with a rifle, and after I shoot one, will change to my bow. Does anyone know where I can find a shot placement chart or picture for wild boars? Or if you can just tell me the best place to put a bullet or arrow that would be great also.

Thanks,
Mike

hey mike,


sorry i dont have an answer for your quesiton, but i am from VA too and was trying to find a place to hog hunt. where are you going?

good and tight behind the shoulder. i say a shot placement thing once but don't remember where. for your bow make sure it's a quartering away shot due to the shield.

just like you shoot a deer or elk or other wild game. just behind the sholder.as gitrbayed said quartering away is great.
most times the shield doesn't go far enough back to make ant difference.I have taken many,many wild boars and the shield hasn't stopped my bullets or arrows.
I have heard many horror stories about the shield stopping a 3006 or 308.maybe, but it has never stopped my little old 243.
have several mounted that went 300 lbs. and better.
just put it in the rib cage and they will go down and stay.

I have a pretty good place. Blackriver Plantation do a google. It should come up. My dad and I might go in te summer.

did a google search but didnt find a whole lot. is it in South Carolina? I saw one from there but saw no hunting information.
