For the past two weeks, I've read some of people's threads on shooting hogs. Some of guys said that they are hard to put down even after few high caliber rounds in 'em and only to see them get up and walk away or to never find hogs after tracking for a while.
Some of you have mentioned that sometimes it is hard to track because the hogs has thick fat that closes the wounds which makes them hard to track down.
Some of us have emphasis on the importance of shot placement. As I've stated to some of the guys about my shot placement.
Someone posted up a video of hog's anatomy and explained where everything are (Organs/Spines/Lungs) and such.
Now, I would like to show the inside (Rib Cavity) of the sow I shot last night.
This may help others understand the importance of a shot placement to ethically put hog down. I know it takes a precision shooting, we have to be precise in our shooting when shooting for hogs, if you do not want to track down deep inside the woods, through the thick brush and stuff.
I take my time when I glass 'em, putting them in my crosshair, making sure my heartbeat is in normal pace, pull the trigger with only my finger, no jerky movement, flinch in an event before the shot fire off as many would do when pull the trigger, in an expectation, which is never good, the shot will go off in bad direction. Steady aim, slow finger pull, and make sure the rifle is steady as well. I train myself as snipers would do, in their breathing technique, and their practice when shooting. It helps a lot.
Shoot and pray it will hit something, somewhere, will not work on any hogs, especially on the biggest, baddest, toughest of 'em all.
Small porky will go down real easy, though.
I hope this will help many hog hunter who have had trouble in the past to put hogs down in its tracks during their next hog hunting.
Happy Hog Hunting!
