    How to kill a pig-Please post kill shots

    Ok. I am tired of all my pigs getting away. I know that the best shot is a quartering away shot, but I have also seen lots of other kills shots that were just above the leg (lungs?).

    Can you guys please post your pictures of pig kill shots (bow and arrow only) so I can get a good feel for where I should be aiming.

    Thanks,

    The heart and lungs sit real low and forward on a hog. I always tell people to aim for the "elbow" on a broadside hog. The heart is just aboveand behind the elbow. I will see if I can find the hog kill zone pic I have and post it here. If the hog is hard quartering away I put the arrow in right behind the last rib and it usually exits behind the off shoulder hitting lungs and sometimes the heart.

    Here is the link to the pic of Hog Vitals

      Pictures will not do much good for you....the best thing is to get them closer to you for a good shot, 20 yards max, 15 or closer is better....aim behind the shoulder and lower than mid body.....good luck.

        My 12 year old says his favorite sure kill spot is right behind the ear with no matter what you are hunting with.....he favors muzzys at 20 yards

          I always go back to what our fearless leader once said...aim so low that you think you might have missed them. I've had the best luck with low shots on hogs. High double lung shots never end well for me. I've found a few that still ran 300 yards with good double lung pass through shots. Stick with the low shot, especially when hunting from the ground.

            this one only went about 45 yards and piled up. The shot was from about 8' off the ground.

              i prefer about five inches back but this will do the trick if their leg is stepping back. if you can hit here, they wont run far at all. and tracking will be easy

                as others have noted, aim low .... right at the arm pit crease ; where shoulder attaches to body

                  The hog made it to the bushes at the top of the screen. 30-40 yds.

                    Quartering away, near leg forward. Arrow in low just behind near elbow and out just in front of off side leg. Never had 1 go over 25yds with that shot.

                          hog shots

                          Everyone here is telling you the correct shot.AIM FOR THE ELBOW or slightly above it. Any arrow that is placed between the elbow and 3" to 4" above the elbow is going to kill quickly with a short trail. I aim for this area and it has worked well with me. You need to be shooting a good broad head that will perform well on BONE, because chances are you're going to end up in the leg bone at some point. Make sure your shooting a large cutting head also. I like Striker Magnums and Shuttle "T" loks.

                          Good Luck!

                              What he said.

                              See my avatar picture. Down 15 or so yards from point of impact. However, as said above, you may not be able to use your broad head again. My Muzzy was trashed after that shot. Impact was a couple inches little lower than I wanted.
