Invincible boar

I thought he was gonna come and take your legs out from under ya.
 
That hog is dead.
 
Looks like your first shot was low and forward of the front leg. Maybe you hit a major blood vessel, maybe not. Maybe you hit the offside front leg, maybe not.

Your second shot was way too far in front of the hog (more than a body length), was too low, and was a miss. As close as the hog was, you probably should have had the crosshairs on the head or neck to make a good boilerroom hit.

Your third shot looked to be a liver shot, maybe upper gut. As the hog was close, this shot was probably an inch or so lower than your POA.

I think Dan is right, the hog will be dead, just none of your shots were the type to drop him in his tracks.
 
That hog was a hurting unit, no doubt. Agreed, buzzard food.

Happy ending to the story!!!
Found him today about fifty yards from where I took the shots. This restored my confidence even though it wasn't a clean kill.
Looks like the first shot hit center mass about a foot behind the front leg. Second shot (where he stumbled in the video) shattered
the front left leg though you couldn't tell it from the way he was running. Third "desperation" shot hit low in the belly. So he was
dead, just took him a while to bite the dust. Measured 42 inches but don't know if that's accurate when they're stiff. So glad I
found him, makes me feel a lot better!

That was a big hog! I agree, better check it a.s.a.p. Is that a Trail? I've been there...

Yeah, XP50, I've heard the stories but I'm still too new to it.
 
Yep, that will go a long way in the confidence department. Nice hog.

If your first shot hit center mass, then indeed your scope is way off because that was not where you were aiming when the image was upset by recoil. You broke the front leg with the first shot. You can see it flopping as he starts to run. Your 3rd shot centerpunched him around the liver area.

it's really interesting you texas boys get hairy matted down fur on your hogs. ours are skin with a crew cut at best really thin hair. you could braid corn rows in that pig of yours
