The hunters on Wild Boar Fever, on Sportsman Channel, try to shoot the running boar in the neck, and they usually do. Looks like 270 and 308 are popular calibers.
This a European driven boar hunt. Sponsored by Sauer, Aimpoint, Hornady, Swazi etc.
Amazing shooting, especially by the German that has both names hyphenated. He is incredible, but I get the impression that he comes from a wealthy family and his avocation is shooting boar.
I shot one hog on a Florida night hunt, using an AR15 in 300BlkOut loaded with the 110gr Barnes tipped bullet. Rifle had a large night scope. I was told to shoot tight behind the shoulder, i did so, but maybe a little lower than I thought, but still hitting the heart. Dam thing ran. They don't bleed much. Took a while to find it.
