[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1228154, member: 30902"] I've seen some big ones run off the map that seemed to be hit very well but where hit on the shoulder/leg and forward. We never recovered them so I can't say. I have found a lot of lead in the shield of old boars that had been there obviously for years. I have killed a couple of them that still had seeping abscesses from rounds that buried up in the shield and never made it into the chest. I've also killed several that had everything in the chest turned to mush but just refused to die that either ran hundreds of yards before giving out or put up a very good fight with dogs before finally expiring. One of the bigger boars I ever killed soaked up two loads of buck shot at close range along with five 240gr 44mg jhp's in his chest and still managed to shred two dogs. Big hogs come with their own armor and just have a tremendous will to fight rather than die. I've also killed some very large hogs with brain shots from a .204 Ruger and .220 swift at up to 300yds. You just have to put it into the CNS to put them down hard and whenever you can avoid the shoulder/chest shots. [/QUOTE]
