Im off to do a hog hunt at the weekend in Texas, Im going with my Bow- Can anyone reccomend the best place to aim the broadhead for a quick kill?Lungs or head shot etc..? Regards.
1. Make sure you have a large caliber side arm just in case 2. Do not be on the ground when you try to hit it 3. See rule #1 4. Headshot with a bow, no. Heart and lungs, it will bleed out in the body cavity, you won't even have to bleed it. 5. See rule 2. The Ever Making Rules VIPER
Where possible, aim for a hit below the "top" section of the shoulder cartilage. That can be tough to pierce effectively, depending on range, if you have yourself a Boar, especially if you shooting from elevation, (a tree hide) for example. Ideally, with a rifle, you would basically aim for the shoulder joint, however, more finesse is required with a bow-you want to sneak around the shoulder joint, IIRC, the heart itself sits a touch higher in the chest cavity than a deer, which is actually much lower than you would think.
What pound setting on the bow Using mechanical (unadvisable) or broad heads Hope youâve been practicing â itâll be a relatively small aim point Know you yardage pins well Best shot â quartering away â aim for the chest cavity Second best â right behind the ear where is attaches to the head Shoulder shot â and this depends on the size of the hog â too thick very high potential to be non lethal Head shot - too small of a target and mostly bone Broad side â very likely hit a rib and be non leathal Piss a hog off (by only wounding him) â it will likely chase / rush you â and if it has any size to it â it will mess you up Yes carry a pistolâ¦, better still have a second hunter with a long gun They hear, smell really well â stay down wind Saturday a front is moving in â bring warn cloths Good Hunting â and shoot to kill Post some pictures next week please RN
