Head or chest?

They say they are really hard to kill with a chest shot because their vitials are right behind the front legs.

Thanks for the advice.

Which ever I have the best shot at. I have not had one go more than 20 yards with a chest shot yet. Most fall DRT, especially since I switched to the hornady light mag SST's for the .30-06.

.223 behind the ear.......bang, flop!

head

Neck (if they are stationary & not running) that way they are DRT PLUS if they have a good enough skull to keep, its not all shot up. If they dont have a skull worth keeping, head shot is next.

If you are bow hunting, IF you can wait until they are slightly quartering AWAY from you, you can sneak that arrow in behind the 1 leg & into the vitals.

Head (ear) or neck, if those aren't available..the next best shot I can get!

I usually shoot them behind the shoulder, or behind the ear. Maggie's right, can sneak that arrow right in there

basically anywhere with a 150 gr core lokt 7mm gonna drop him in his tracks

basically anywhere from the neck ears back.. with a 150 core lokt 7mm he is gonna drop in his tracks

base of head and after they drop wait a bit usually the rest come right back , i shot 4 in 20 minutes that way

behind ear or head,core-lok a nd down for the count.

anywhere between the nose and the tail!!!!

I shoot all of mine at the lease. couldn't resist

Behind the ear drops em!

Thanks folks,

The place I was hunting only wanted them shot in the head because they didn't want them crawling back into the cactus and dying. I was hoping on getting a skull to bleach. Took my Javelina with a lung shot and dropped it in it's tracks with the 243 Win - 100 grain Rem. So I have a nice skull from it to do up.

Oh well, hopefully next time I come down.

Musky

Right where they are standing.

Hopefully at Rat and Maggies place lmao!

Option #1 Earhole.

Option #2 Anywhere in the Pig, worst case it slows them down for a follow up.

Option #3 High in the arse, usually clips the spine good enough to go whack em with the pistol in the head.

i just hold low right behind the shoulder w/ my 300 H&H (220's)

missed some earlier this year from my scope not being sighted in, but dropped the last one in his tracks

45-70 and 402 grains of lead, and it doesn't really matter where you hit um!

Shoot 'em in the head, there're dead and the meat is lead free. My son shot at one facing him and the 100 grain 243 bullet glanced off the skull. Best to shoot them where the neck joins the head from a broadside shot.
