I use a neck shot for deer whenever I can, because it works wonderfully.
But on a pig, I can't decide whether it would be better to aim for the brain (base of ear), or somewhere in the neck area, to slightly increase my target size and thus odds of success. I'd prefer neck, since it works so well on deer, and is a larger target. But has anyone had good luck or bad luck with neck shots on hogs? It's certainly harder to "see" the neck on a pig than a deer, as it all just kinda blends together - wonder how easy or hard it would be to accidentally miss a vital portion of the neck and have a clean pass through. Which part of the neck area is best, or do you want to avoid? Thanks.
I'm NOT a fan of tracking, especially in the summer, especially where hogs are likely to run off to.
