I've had GREAT success with hogs with Woodmans also....and I killed 'BlockHead' with a Zwickey No Mercy 4 blade and got a great blood trail with it as well. I have a dozen of them made up for the St Judes Okeechobee hunt coming up soon as I'm a Zwickey fan basicaly from the start of my bowhunting life.

i've only killed one li'l ol' hog, and the woodsman did the job pretty darned quick, i'd say (right terry?).

i hope to go hog hunting come spring/summer and if so i've already 'upgraded' the vented woodsmans (250 grains w/125gr adapters) to screw-in solid machined vpa 300 grain terminators. WHOA!

VPA is now making 300 grainers????

That's good hog medicine right there!!!

yep, I'm really impressed with my 200gr. VPA's. I got a AD Trad / Trad lite test kit coming from 3R and I really hope that 30" BOP and 300gr. up front works perfect out of my 47# Buffalo Bow. Terry, you got me curious about the AD shafts because I've had a heck of a time getting my MFX Classics to tune.

What do you guys use to sharpen the woodsmans?

lpcjon2 · « **Reply #25 on:** January 26, 2010, 10:12:00 PM »

Get authentic and use a Hill broadhead

Terry Green · « **Reply #26 on:** January 26, 2010, 10:13:00 PM »

I get the bevels(that come arched)level on a belt sander, AND to pyramid the tips....and then use a 3 side jewelstik to drag them over to take the ruff bevels down to a polished killin edge.

I am sure it will work just fine but I don't like shooting small broadheads for hogs unless they have at least 3 blades cutting.I will not shoot a two blade under 1.5" wide for hogs.
The 2" wide Simmons Treeshark is my favorite followed by the Woodsman type 3 blades.Both of those work great with my lighter bow weights and will put a little blood on the ground.

I just took 3 nice hogs with the 2 blade 200gr Muzzy phantom. With the 130lb boar the broadhead wentthrough both shields and was sticking out the other side. I've had good luck with the woodsmans too but I like to use a two blade on the larger boar hogs with a shield.

Mint, did you feel like the bleeders would hinder penetration?
I shoot the 125 Muzzy Phantoms with the bleeders in....no problems with penetration at all.

I have taken many hogs - course I live here in Texas... I use either the 160 grain Magnus 1's or the Abowyer Whitetail heads. I have used 3 blade heads and had ok results. I have taken several over 200+ and one that topped 300 with the 2 blade.

I recently got some Centaur Big Game 2 blades.(1.75" wide). 213 grains with the screw in adapter. I'll use a 100 grain brass insert. Look forward to trying these babies on a hog! They look terrific.

Your BH is adeguate,but if some big black furies are around I would upgrade my Bh. Anyway like always the key word is arrow placement,and very sharp blade.

Danny Rowan · « **Reply #34 on:** January 27, 2010, 03:48:00 PM »

300 xtreme three blade for me, blows right through them and puts them down.

Whitetail Nut · « **Reply #35 on:** January 27, 2010, 03:50:00 PM »

Your setup will be fine the mangus will do a number on the hog. They are my first choice hands down. Good luck and post some pics for us to see when you get back

The Magnus is more that fine, shot placement is the key. check out this site for boar anatomy and shot placement.

I killed a lot of hogs with 2 blade zwickeys and older 2 blade bear broadheads. Like Curt said, low and tight, you'll be putting chops on the grill.

Bowhunter4life · « **Reply #38 on:** February 03, 2010, 10:52:00 PM »

I like the narrow 3-blade heads for hogs... (Woodsman, Razorcap, VPA, 300 Extreme, and I've also got a dozen '57 vintage "Hi-Precision" 3-blades that fit in that catagory).

2 and 4 blade heads will do the trick also, but I'd stick with heads wider than 1.5"...

James Wrenn · « **Reply #39 on:** February 04, 2010, 08:13:00 AM »

Sure it will work.About anything will kill a hog.I prefer bigger if useing a two blade or 3 or 4 blades if useing anything under 1.5" wide for hogs.Little blades kill them but in some of the places I hunt they don't have to go far to make recovery very hard.I want them leaving as much blood as possible if they do run. jmo
