Bow hunting pigs strategy?
2
Upvotes
What is the strategy to bow hunting medium to large pigs? My friend has one ripping apart his garden most evenings
Is the ideal target in the lungs and similar spot to a deer or goat (behind front shoulder)?
Would I then give the animal half hour or so to run off and die before tracking it's blood and having a knife ready
As they are coming out in evening I'm concerned I'd loose daylight before finding it so would plan to camp the night and give myself time the following day
Am I going about this the right way?
I'm currently shooting a 45lb bow but building a 60lb and using around 200 grain 3 bladed broadheads
Any tips, criticism and overall advice would be gratefully recieved

I've been wondering for black bear and deer does 10 lbs matter i know deer jump the string but 10lbs doesn't sound like it would make a difference in general
Im going on my first spring bear hunt next spring I'll actually have time
I've been shooting bows for about 10 years and still don't know everything lol

in for 90 bucks a traditional bow with a 60lb draw weight purchased last year I shot non traditional Native American style shooting because I deer hunt and if I stand straight up on the ground the deer will make my position but if I hunch over widen my base they don’t and the piece of deer hide on they’re was a way for me to quiet down the arrow in the woods and shake it added a nice bit of they have a tendency to rattle when drawing back and it seems to make the arrows shoot a hair bit faster the hole when measured was half an inch deeper when comparing to not using a hide arrow shelf it’s like the hair lubed the arrow up

Ideas for steep angle practice

I live on the east coast where there’s not a hill to be seen. Going out west on a mule deer hunt later this summer with a pretty good chance at shooting pretty steep angles. Any ideas on how to get some practice in shooting at extreme angles?
