Hog shot placement question.

[txgunner00]

I've dropped many with a high shoulder double lung shot from a .223. I recommend against any low shoulder shot especially with an expanding bullet. Their leg bone below the shoulder blade is tough (on the big ones at least) and could deflect and or break up a bullet before it gets deep in the vitals.

Mid to high shoulder or behind the ear is my recommendation. If it drops low you still get the heart (provided no deflection) and if it's high you get the spine.
