I manage to get my glove on and nock an arrow. When I look up there are hogs everwhere about 25 yds out. I'm about to have a shot at a medium sow when the big boar comes into an opening, but is quartering to me. He freezes with his head cocked. I know we are running out of time..something has to happen right now!
With no shot on the boar I shift my eyes to the right. An eating size sow is open and feeding broadside. I really want my bud to have a shot, but by now I don't think we have more than a few seconds till we get busted.

The shot looked like it was going to be low till I heard the whack and saw the 2020 bury in the center of her shoulder. It looked to far forward for my liking and penetration wasn't what I wanted. She turned and ran into the treetops where I heard her crash. Down in bout fifty yards.
The shot was 20 yds. I did hit forward of where I wanted and centered her shoulder with about eight inches of pentration.

Nice job. Just the primer I need, as I'm going back after hogs down here tomorrow.

awesome stuff mate. hunting pigs in the snow is a dream hunt for me.
a lesson learnt here guys.....it is better to hit too far forward and get the shoulder than to hit too far back and hit guts. with a shoulder hit you have a chance of a recovery, a gut shot on pigs.....no hope.
