What is different here?

Right before dark I had this big brute of a boar hog scare my deer away and start vacuuming up my corn. 1st mistake. He made a few laps around the feeder always moving before I could get a shot. He did this for 5 or so minutes and then he stops completely broadside at 18 yards. 2nd mistake. I get the crosshairs of my crossbow lined up behind his ear shooting for his neck bone. I squeeze the trigger and send a missile his way. Thwack! Then I see my lumen nock blow through him and into the brush. I thought he would drop instantly. Nope he ran off. Crap. So after dark I found my bolt and backed out of there. No reason to track an angry and hurt pig in the dark when I cannot have a gun.( lease rules) So I will hunt tomorrow morning and then afterwards i will look for him in the daylight. My thinking is that he is dead within 100 yards if I caught an artery or he is just wounded and will make it. I couldn't find blood at the feeder. What does the green screen think?

About to pack up my stuff in the blind and go look for this beast. Had some deer snorting upwind of me toward the direction he ran to. Hopefully he is piled up close by. We shall see.

Good luck!

Neck shot is a low probability and you will may see this hog roaming around.

I agree. Low and tight behind front shoulder!!

Hope you find him. I haven't taken a head or neck shot with my bow, but been wondering how many people do.

Yeah I never found any blood or could find any on his trail. I know I took a very low percentage shot but I didn't want to track him. It was all or nothing in my opinion. In hindsight I would have tried a brain shot, but these pigs never stay still at the feeder. If he makes it great, if not the buzzards, coyotes, and hogs will be happy.
