[QUOTE="Scott E Ames, post: 1917050, member: 60439"] Great video. Hogs are a tough kill sometimes. The boars have such a thick connective tissue shield in the forward 1/3 of their body to defend against the tusks of their opponents that they can absorb incredible injuries without apparent damage. One 300# boar took a 160 gr. Nosler partition (7mm) dropped in his tracks with no exit at 75 yards. I hung it from a tree for coyote bait and shot it 3 more times to "open" it for the dogs and never got a pass through. Another was shot with a 175# Scorpyd crossbow and a 3 blade 2 1/2 inch expanding with full pass through and still went 100 yards bleeding like 3 "stuck pigs". The only reliable exit wounds came when we were shooting them with 416 Rigby's and 400 grain triple shocks getting ready for an African hunt. Drop to the shot is a CNS or major skeletal shot (or use an elephant rifle) otherwise they usually get a 50-100 yard mad dash in. [/QUOTE]
