I just relized something, most new hog hunters wonder about, where to shoot. Best places, center between the eye and ear hole, center neck on a line just below the bottom of ear hole, or center shoulder, to break the shoulder or leg bones. The heavy bullet is intended to get both shoulders with a shoulder shot. Do not worry about meat, shoot the porker to put it down. Hunting a wounded hog in thick brush, that is where they run to, is at best, not a fun and games event. An old boar has a very slow nervous system but that is all that is slow about him. He can turn 180 in a blink of the eye and be at full speed in three steps. They are the only critters that will aid a buddy in trouble and if POed, they will not run, they start killing stuff. They are very sneaky and can slip right by you in the woods then come out of the brush from behind, so watch yourself at all times. Best description, bad to the bone. they fight, reproduce and feed, the three Fs.
Best,
Ed
