RE: Shot Placement
 

All the hogs Ive shot with a rifle in the last 7 years have been with my 300 wby.My 300 has no problem problem punching the shield, and everything else for that matter. But yea, I could see some calibers having a difficult timepunching the shield.
Yes, that is why I use a .450 Marlin. We hunt at night and don't have a lot of time to worry about head shots so we shoot them behind the shoulder and I want something that will put them down on the spot. It is no fun stalking a wounded boar at night. We did it too many times using a small rifle.

dont take a headshot if you want to mount it though, Id say, cause I always thought a boar makes an awesome head mount

I saw a post or two regarding bow shots, but any suggestions on a bow shot from a treestand?

I am assuming quartering away and aiming for the lung on the opposite side?
