Thanks to Tom Mussatto for compressing this clip for easy download.
I'd also like to add that I center punched the shoulder MUCLE...not the shoulder bone. The lungs were behind the shield where I hit and not bone. This shows just how far forward you can shoot a hog and go straight to the vitals boneless....if you got enough bow or the right broadhead to get through the shield.

nice job, Terry!!! Great shooting, as usual.
-
dang thats nuts, what bw setup did u use to take it terry?
-
Great info. You always hear about the shoulder armor on hogs but until you see it, it is hard to understand just how thick they are.
-
Thanks Terry,
I didn't know that shield was that hard! I guess I better step it up if I want to get through that on a big hog.
-
Thanks for the video!

It was a 70# Thunderstick MOAB - and an Ace Super Express.

Yep, the guy had petrified catcher's mitts as saddle bags.

Thanks for the tutorial Terry, for people like me with no experience with hogs, it's very valuable info.
Paul.

:clapper: :clapper: Well done terry

No problem guys....that's what this place is here for.
That Ace is not really correct in image....its a bit longer more spear point shaped. That pic came off their website...I'll try and get a better one.

Terry...thanks for the video. Hogs (or hawgs as we say below Macon), have been my nemesis til this year. i finally took my first & second so far since January. My problem had been that subconsciously i couldn't make myself shoot that far forward. Until i get a few more under my belt, i'm still not comfortable shooting them unless they have at least a slight quartering angle.
That was awesome!

good stuff thanks for posting it

Now that's a shield! Very cool little video Terry.
-
Do all hogs have a shield that hard?
-
Great video, thanks for sharing Terry
-
Thanks for the video. Nice info.

Cool vid and pin point shooting as usual Terry.
Its hard to make oneself shoot right above the hog's leg on the body, seems like the bone will be there, but its not. The leg bone elbows forward and then back at the scapula. As Nicki Roth told me in Florida, "Everything behind the head is guts." Shoot right through that above the leg point or to pass between the legs on a quartering away shot. The heart lays right on the bottom of the chest you can't shoot too low.
Stone Knife, only the larger boars have a shield that heavy, but younger ones will have some thickening.

neat video

I think I need a bigger bow :bigsmyl:
Cool Video, Terry. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks Terry thats good info! I have a hog hunt with Ray next month and am researching everything I can on how to hunt and where to shoot a hog. This was a very instructive video.

Great hog Terry! That shield really is unbelievable till you see it for yourself. That big hog I shot last night of Sweat had a shield 1/2" thick. The weight of the shield pulled the skin off as we skinned it. Once we had the shields off we layed them out and it was all anyone of us could do to drive a knife through that shield. I wish we would have had more time to let some of the guys shoot at shields with lighter poundage bows. I was using a 75# Morrison with 640gr arrows and only got 10" of penetration at 15 ft.Hit was directly behind shoulder and took out both lungs.
-
The shield on that boar was nearly 2 inches thick where I hit him.
Seen shields before, but this one was VERY visible from over 50 yards way on the hoof.

Here's a better pic of the ACE...sorry it took me so long....

ive also seen them with shields that are very defined. im nobody but i always try to get a slight quartering away shot and in the arm pit. i have never wounded one that way with a 45# recurve. like i said i aint no expert it just has made me more successful and kept me off the thick stuff.
-
Nice penetration. I always aim just behind their "elbow".......
