I also think the shot was high. It was very close and I thought I was looking low enough but probably not. The arrow was bloodied up 24" of the shaft and he carried it a long way before it broke. Still scratching my head a bit but yea, I think it was a bit high.
I really thought once we found that arrow we would find the hog. After I got back home I took this photo of all the arrows from that week.

Not much to tell. The first shot was a center-punch and the hog let out a squeal and was anchored to the ground. After 2 seconds it rolled over and then started kicking, after the hours of tracking that morning I was not about to give it the chance to get up so a second shot into the vitals was executed to prevent any chance for tacking.
Looking back at the video there were a couple larger hogs I wish I had zeroed in on instead but there were so many piglets running around in that group I wanted to make sure I did not take a wet sow. Sorry it wasn't more meat for you Thom. :(
