The first shot was 2" behind and 2" below the left ear. There was still some movement and we had hunted 3 days and this was the only shootable hog we saw so the guys I was with said "shoot it again" so I did We saw more than 100 pigs that trip but most were several thousand yards away on hillsides.
The first shot did massive internal damage and the second shot broke the shoulders and took the arteries off the top of the heart.
[quote=YutYut]Using a factory Hornady 123gr Amax, Where should the shot be placed? I'm debating between the heart or the head. I'm wondering if the Amax can penetrate the THICK skull. I am leaning at the heart, that way if i miss it it, is still a shoulder shot and its going down regardless to allow for follow up shot. Im using my Templar Custom 20".
here are a few images i saw online. are they accurate?
