Additionally, most do not realize the wild hogs develop a gristle plate on their shoulders\/sides to protect them against other hogs over their lifetime.  I took a football size piece from the boar killed by Allen Manues home to do a little ballistics test.  The shoulder plate measured 1.85&#8243; at the thickest point.  I placed it on shooting berm and made sure there was not space between the piece and the dirt to truly simulate the shooting situation.  I measured off 20 yards and shot the plate with a 12ga 3&#8243; 00 Buckshot.  Nine of the 13 pellets struck the plate, but the deepest any of the pellets penetrated was 1.52&#8243;.
