I've hunted hogs on a ranch South of Amarillo 4 different times. Intend to return again in April. We only archery hunt, sitting on feeders or spot and stalk. It's an absolute blast. They seem to have a heavy cartilage plate behind the shoulder that protects the vitals. Because of this, the property owner insists on fixed broadheads, no mechanicals. I have had only one pass through. Ive seen discussion on this site regarding the quality of the meat. In my opinion, it's excellent. Have Fun!
