On Recovering Bullets in Hogs

[ZenArchery]

I want to start to recover bullets (if I don't get a complete pass thru) in my hogs. Since that is my primary goal should I go after bullet first and if so what technique works best. Or should I just clean normally and "hopefully," maybe recover bullet in the process.


Also if you have pics of your recovered bullets and pic of hog post below. I think this could be cool data base for those wondering how bullets do in real world scenarios:
Caliber
Bullet (weight, type)
Distance Shot
Shot Placement

Thanks Brothers!

When we use the 458 socom loaded light it usually results in the bullet getting caught on the far side under the skin. Once we determine trajectory through the hog it's as simple as looking for the lump. We have recovered a few this way.

Do you have any pics of recovered Itsazonik?

You might also want people to note if the bullet went through bone or not.

I rarely recover bullets. Most pass through. :-(

But a picture database would be cool!

When I get home ill see what I still have. I do have some from the socom forum from someone else testing out the aluminum bullet though. Here you go.....
