[QUOTE="gvjm, post: 2408511, member: 52138"] I’ve heard that opinion several times before. I have to respectfully disagree. A few years ago on a hog hunt I got a shot off on a big boar. U fortunately I had to shoot through a fence line and the bullet deflected. I hit the boar in the head but just a glancing blow. After about 30 seconds of disorientation the boar bolted perpendicular to my at about 120 yards. I put a lead on him and fired. To my surprise he turned straight for me! And I was using a front forwarding linear brake forcing all the sound and report forward. As I continued to fire at him he made it to the brush. We found him dead about 50 yards into the brush. The deflected head shot and a the hit behind the ribs were what we found. There’s also a video on YouTube that shows that the impact sound that is heard by game at distance is right at 138 db well before the rifle report is within hearing. I don’t know what’s going on the mind of game when a “thud” that loud occurs in their immediate vicinity. I think it’s hard to be definitive about how those kinds of sounds effect them. [/QUOTE]
