the boars i have hunted and guided hunters on are pure european hogs ( i used to guide at a hunting lodge in sc) these hogs usually have a thicker shield than most swamp hogs i just try to stay away from the shield just cause i dont like 2 hr tracking jobs. you can still find some pretty good european blood lines in the wild i have seen a few. i have witnessed a hunter at the lodge shoot a hog with a 338 win mag at about 75 yds shot square in the shoulder it knocked him down for a few seconds hog got up and was killed with a shot to the head the bullet was lodged in the shield completely mushroomed about two inches deep. just sayin these are some very tough critters i just like to play it on the safe side with a double lung. to see what these hogs can stop go to youtube and search trackertroy under this look for the video hog stops arrow pretty amazing what this shield will do.
