They hit my femoral artery, which is right about head height, and that's exactly what would result. That should be obvious.Pigs aren’t going to chew you to pieces in seconds.

You’ve hunted pigs a bit?They hit my femoral artery, which is right about head height, and that's exactly what would result. That should be obvious.
Are you hunting them in a pen or have them pinned up against a fence? Not doubting you, but the only time I’ve ever had one come towards me was when we cornered it against a fence….deer or any other animal would come at you in those circumstances.We've had a few come after us. One big red one chased my hunting partner to where he climbed the fence and walked on the neighbor's property to get back to camp. My last one tried but the arrow in him slowed him down enough that I could put another one in him and finish the deal.
I've taken several dozen hogs with a bow, and one with a rifle. I'd don't keep an exact count. I did see one go after the landowner. Yes, most of the time they will run away. But most of the time is not 100%.
You’ll be fine hitting them anywhere from the head to right behind the shoulder. My favorite shot placement on them is center mass of their neck…DRT 100% of the time.
I know we all joke about the mythical armored plate and generally I agree, but when I was a kid I saw it happen. In the truck about 600 yards out my dad hopped out with his 7 mag and snuck through the brush and popped out 100ish yards from it. This was sort of a normal baited spot and we'd killed many hogs there so it was pretty routine, dad would blast a hog and I'd drive the truck up to meet him. I watched that hog's shoulder explode through the binos and he turned and ran straight towards my dad, he stepped behind a bush and it kept going and didn't turn around. About 2 weeks later we saw the same boar in the same spot, big nasty festering wound on the shoulder right where it should be. I don't know what projectiles he was using, likely a Core-Lokt soft point. Unfortunately he bolted soon after dad hopped out to go in for another shot so we never got to do a necropsy. That was a big ass boar.Not possible....Hogs have a giant armor plate on and slightly behind the shoulder. Nothing smaller than a .30 cal magnum and bonded bullets.
Ken was chasing these pigs with dogs, completely different scenario than someone simply hunting them or just walking through the woods.Get the video of Ken Moody get hammered by a boar hog in Tennessee, where his knee was broken in several places and he had a deep cut in his thigh. Moody was just lucky the artery was missed.

You’re trying to turn hogs into some dangerous animals that attack often, which just isn’t the case.
