Hog Survives Behind The Ear Shot

Nothing survives a heart shot ever. There are people and critters walking around with severe brain injuries CNS shots are pretty much bs.for hunting.

Wanna bet? These are pics from the Deer I shot this year. I did NOT shoot the Deer in the heart. I did recover a piece of jacket from the heart. Take note of the scaring in the second pic

If it works for you more power to you. Clearly it doesn't work for everyone. Shot placement is so critical you must use a high level of skill and knowledge. I also realize that we don't always have a choice of weapons. I have been forced to use slugs and make them work myself. I also prefer sabot slugs. They do a lot better than fosters in my experience I admire your success.

Thanks, but making CNS shots isn't that mystical. Knowing where to shoot to make a CNS shot takes no more knowledge or skill than making a heart shot with a centerfire rifle and may actually be easier. The volume of the targets for making a CNS shot is much larger than that for making a heart shot. You need only make a good shot on the brain, brain case, first 12-14" (on an adult hog) of spinal cord or spinal column.

With that said, I would not suggest you change what you are doing. Since what you do is working for you, that is what matters.

Wow, I have never seen that before. I wonder what it was shot with. Obviously not a high velocity expanding bullet.

The other evening i sat in a blind with a novice hog hunter. A 175 pound boar showed up about 30 yards away and presented a broadside shot. The hunter fired his .270 Winchester. Hog went down, lay still for about 30 seconds, then started crawling away. The hunter fired again and the hog died.

The boar would have gotten up and ran off. i've seen this happen too many times.

draw a line between the eye and the ear, half way between them, drop down 1-2". That is the center of the brain, and the target. Hit them there, and they will not get up.

I dropped a boar like a sack of potatoes, with a 22 mag, at 113 yds, about 2 weeks ago, The target is explained in my above post.
