[QUOTE="M Rosslee, post: 1193961, member: 94998"] Our warthog bores don't have "shields" as per say but are one of the toughest species to hunt in our country. They are incredibly stocky, muscular beasts with a tough frame that absorbs energy as a wild bore would (transferring it through the frame into the ground). Their bone structure is also tough and I have seen warthog bores take hits with 300gr SP's out of 375 H and H's and go crashing through the bush after a vital (heart/lung) shot only to expire near to 100 yards away. Incredible stuff. They are very much like our BWB, with a strange will to cling to life... Unlike the softer giant eland who, when hit in the box, expires quite swiftly. [/QUOTE]
