i ran across this pic today and is the best i have ever seen by far. anyways, i thought it might help some people on here wondering about shot placement and so on.
I have shot too many hogs to count.
The first I ever shot was a 50-55 lb hog with a .270 behing the shoulder like a deer at 75 yds. The guide had a fit!
The hog ran 125 yds with 5 foot of gut hanging out of his chest/abd.
They took that hog and while they were cleaning it, shouwed me this exact place to shoot the hogs.
I have not had a hog take more than a step since. The hogs have ranged form 75-325lbs at a range of 25-275 yds. I take my crosshairs and draw a line from the middle of the shoulder to the bald spot behind the hogs ear. I shoot the middle of that line. It puts it in the solid red of the pic.
agree with the below and behind the ear
wack, watch em drop in the scope, no tracking
but have also put them direct into the shoulder, centered but a little low
that takes out the heart
they may run 40 yards but if you use a good bullet, like a Barnes out of a rifle or a hardcast out of a pistol it's game over
That's a great pic dredge here are some more. I shoot them under the ear about an inch back.I was told to act like there is an ear ring on the and hit that haven't had one take more than a step since! http://www.texasboars.com/anatomy.html
