Lost stuck hog

[travlinman]

Arrowed a big boar today but the Rage only penetrated about 5 inches. No blood for 50 yards the spotty blood. Anyone else have this issue with a rage and an old boar?

I use the rage for deer, and slick tricks or stinger for the hogs. 26 1/2" draw makes it tough for me to get a rage through a 150+lb boar.

My dad shot a hog one time with it and it lived two days later he shot him again with a rage and he still did not die now my dad shoots slicktricks

[brent.westbrook]

what is your arrow weight? I feel that has as much do with with penetration as the bh

[WyoHunter]

What is your draw weight and draw length? I've shot the 40KE Rage with good success and good penetration. The cut is 1 1/2" instead of 2".

Shoot fixed blades for hogs I see to many big pigs lost with rages

Sorry you lost him! Hope you figur out your broadhead thing.

I just shot a big boar a few days ago and I hit him a little far forward. I am shooting muzzy 3 blades now and because they cut on contact it went right through his shoulder and into his heart and lung. He only ran 100 yds with about 8 inches of penetration and a ton of thick red blood. In my opinion,especially for hogs, because they are so hard to penetrate I think that the cut on contact tips are the best way to go. Not only to you get extra penetration they are more cost effective if you lose them. Here is a pic of the entrance wound Of the hog I shot with my muzzy.

I've lost my last hog with a Rage broad head. Found the arrow, complete passthrough on an 80 pound or so boar my buddy had already hit behind the shoulder with a Rage. Lots of blood the first 60 to 80 yards, like a path of it, then fizzled out to drops and we never did find it. It swam a creek and kept going. Two Rage in the chest and no dead animal to show for it. The two I shot with fixed heads are in an ice chest right now. That was my last Rage, the others were carried off by hogs that we couldn't find, and that one went in the burn barrel at camp. No more mechanical heads for me.

My draw is 28.5 and the rage was 100 grain. This boar was really big and old, probably 200 lbs or more. I've heard the boar have a shield protecting their vitals so I'm thing from no on the 3 blade muzzy might give better penetration. Thanks for your ideas.

Rage on deer. Thunderheads on hogs for me.

I use the 3 blade Rage and have never had one that didn't pass through except the one I shot straight on facing me.
