Thanks for posting the story and pics. I am getting more and more into hog hunting and reading a great review like yours really helps a beginner see just how tough a big ol' boar can be. And to think I am going after them with archery equipment.
Quick question: Does that plate cover in his "arm pit" area where a person would shoot (an arrow) to get the heart?

I've heard some folks talk about aiming in front of the shoulder on the neck with archery equipment, the armor isn't as thick there.

Mate that's a nice boar. I tell you what its a privilege to hunt pigs here in Aus because they don't go into open land unless grubs on or they want to have a dose in the water on the NT flood plains but mostly they'll stick to thick bush or as you yankees call it the woods =D, waist height grass, silk crops, billabongs, waterholes and riverbeds and it really makes hunting pigs down here challenging but so rewarding. Here's a decent video that's one of my favourites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tx_l9Jco_M here is another one too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0zFA...eature=related
That was a good read too Nathan.
