A little late, but does anyone have any cutaway pictures of Hogs that would indicate where to aim when hunting these? Thanks, Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies.

dustoffer -- glad you posted that. That particular diagram has been posted here several times and I always fail to save it. Not this time! Every time someone asks, I tell them to do a search......

Thank you gentlemen! The two pictures don't seem to agree. In the first (link) the heart seems very low. The one by 600 makes more sense to me as far as the heart location is concerned. Comments?

I find the first diagram to be more accurate with respect to the location of the heart. It sits very low in the chest. "Ignorance you can correct, you can't fix stupid."

Hogs don't seem to be as "deep" through the brisket, thus the heart sits an inch or so lower than you'd expect. However, the "right behind the ear" sweet spot is there on every one of them. An old pilot, not a bold pilot, aka "the pig murdering fool" | |||

OK, is the "behind the ear" shot a spine shot? Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

In the second picture, forget about the pig the image is superimposed on, the actual skelliton (SP?)with the heart in place is correct and there is actually not much extra other than a layer of fat and skin covering the brisket and ribs. | |||

I typically try to place a bullet about two inches below the ear on a line between the ear and shoulder. Severs the spinal cord and they drop and paddle. DRT GWB  240 Weatherby, 85 gr. nosler partition and hill country piggie DRT | |||

shankspony, thanks for the explanation. That makes sense now. Peter. Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong; | |||

The one "right behind the ear" hits the atlas vertebrae--the large one, first in line behind the skull. If it doesn't sever the spinal cord, the shock puts them flat on the ground. Brain shot is in the ear or about 1/3 of the way forward and just above line from the earhole to the eye. An old pilot, not a bold pilot, aka "the pig murdering fool" | |||
