[QUOTE="med358-boise, post: 2569327, member: 123832"] Lot's of folks use .223s and other small calibers and shoot them behind the ear. Where I hunt it is all spot and stalk and it is often boars only becuase they are managed as a hunting resource. Note boars can have a thick gristle plate over the vitals which has a tendency to seal up even when there is an exist wounds so blood trails can be small. All that being said 6.5/270 is the practical minimum to aid in a speedy recovery of the animal. Contrary to popular opinion, I have killed probably 1/2 dozen boars over 200 lbs (316 the largest) and probably another 1/2 dozen in the 180-200 range and all of them ate just fine. [/QUOTE]
