    I go hog hunting usually 1 or 2 times a month, usually with a rifle. But I am going to start using my bow because it is more fun. my question to yall is what do yall use? should I use my rage hypodermics or my exodus? FMJs or Cabelas carbon hunters. what are yalls opinions on this?

    Always a good idea to use a fixed BH for hogs

    I've killed a lot of hogs with a bow and never had a problem with mechanicals shooting 60 lbs. Shot placement is critical and I prefer heart shots when possible.

    As long as you avoid the shield, hogs are pretty easy to put down quickly.

    Check out Ramcat broadheads on Youtube. Technically they're a fixed blade (because they don't expand) but the blades are also sharpened on the back and will slide forward and cut their way back out in case you can't pass through the second plate. BTW, they're the sharpest broadhead I've ever put my hands on. Once the rut wraps up here in NC, I'm gonna try and sling one through doe. Good luck
