This is only the second hog I ever Killed... So my Hog anatomy isn't perfect...
The lower shot was the first shot... I took it as a quartering too shot... My 15 degrees off of a per broadsided. I thought that would have been a good lung shot.... Using a 30-6 with 165gr SST's at 70 yards. I thought it would be a lights out sort of deal with maybe a 30 -40 yard death rush, but instead he takes off a good 200 yards where we chase him down and he turns to charge us, which is when I gave him a second does of 165gr thunder punch into presumably the spine because he didn't twitch after I took that second shot!
Pardon the dorky face... I'm mid belly laugh
So my question is, Was my first shot a bad one? or Are hogs just that tuff? Prepping up for an upcoming hunt and want some of your input... (I know the behind the ear shot will do the trick... I just thought the 06 would have enough punch to take one down in one to the lungs...)
