[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1243888, member: 30902"] It's really not the hide that's the problem its the shield which starts just behind the shoulder and runs across the front of the chest. It's thickest right over the shoulders and on the big boars it can be 4" thick or more and it's made of cartilage. Some of the boars we've killed over the years had bullets, bird shot, buck shot even broad heads buried in the shield that had been there for years. One I killed back in the nineties had two thirty caliber bullets, probably from a 30-30 or M1 Carbine, buck shot, and two smaller bullets buried in his. One was still pussey from abscessing but it didn't slow him down any. If you can't put it in the brain or spine just behind the neck with most bullets you're better off going for a classic "heart lung shot" shooting just behind the crease of the leg/chest. On any of them over a couple of hundred pounds though if you don't break the shoulders or interrupt the CNS they can run a long ways even with the heart and lungs liquified. [/QUOTE]
