I have taken a few boars that had shields all the way to the hips - and when I skinned them out the hide stuck out sideways horizontal to the ground FROM THE NECK!!! - wish I had taken pics.

Never had trouble punching a shield with traditional heads - used all number of blades - I seem to get only 8 to 10 inches of penetration though - which is plenty in the "pocket".

Next time one of you fellas kill a Big boar cut the the hide up from under the brisket up towards the pocket. Easy to see the sweet spot.RC

Great info.I know nothing about pigs and it'll help if ever i go. Two more questions:Is this shield found only on boar? What's this for?

[Terry Green]

Some sows have them too. ....but its rare.  Mostly for protection of vitals from fighting.

Thanks Terry ... its a whole lotta flesh ain't it. But in some ways  I agree regarding the mud etc ... it, once caked on , can be a real arrow stopper .

This certainly explains all the worry about sharpening broadheads and shooting with correct form! Wow.

Killed a 200# boar on Sat and I was able to slip my WHOLE HAND inside the neck, fingertips touching spine all the way back to my wrist,  from behind his head. I was showing my rifle buddies that their mantra of "shooting behind the ear" is BS.

Super sharp Grizzly 160gr right in the vitals behind the shoulder did the job.

He was weighed the next AM at 200# on the scale.
