 IL Boar 01 by tjwilhelm148149, on Flickr This is a very recent photo of a 500+ pound, tusked, wild boar harvested with an arrow NEAR ST. ANNE, ILLINOIS! Holy Cow! My office mate nailed this guy with a single arrow as it was crossing a field heading in the direction of some children at play. It didn't drop right away; and, he only had one arrow with him. He shot...it jumped and bellowed...and, then it charged him...Holy Cow! Fortunately, he made it to his truck bed before the boar got to him. I'd bet this big guy was an immigrant from way south of here. I don't know much about feral hogs; but, I don't think they would be able to find enough food in our area during the winter to be able to maintain that size and weight. Sorry, no pig roast. When gutting, cleaning, and dressing it, he dug out a fair number of 00 shot, 9mm handgun slugs, and other assorted bits and calibers of lead. This old boy had been shot multiple times in the past and there was a lot of infected and tainted meat on the carcass. I find it very interesting that what finally took him out was a guy with a bow and a single arrow. |

A .22 would have dropped him in the right spot... Hogs are very tough and can take a lot of in general punishment and keep rolling....  9mm won't penetrate a hog? Dang |

people are amazed just how much damage a well placed arrow with a broad head attached can do, its like sticking a quizinart inside em and turning it on, especially if the run for any distance after the shot

That was a dangerous animal, it's a good thing your buddy got that hog out of the woods. With all that damage it was just a matter of time before it attacked someone...nice shot!
