[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2450408, member: 30902"] Don't shoot hogs there. Shoot them just blow and behind the ear half way to the point of the shoulder or you're going to lose a lot of them. Big boars in particular can soak up a whole lot of lead because of the thick cartilage shield they have that runs from behind the shoulder across their chest up to the neck. It can be as much as 3" thick or more on a really large boar. Our wild hogs are just tough. Many years ago I put five 44 mag JHP's into the chest of a boar that went almost six hundred pounds and he ran a total of almost five hundred yards before we finally put him down with a shot to the head.
