Eye shots are a no go without a lot of power. I've unfortunately hit 3 coons in the eye with a 42fpe .25 Mrod in the eye,with a polymag watched them dance, went to recover body, had a 1 eyed coon growling at me when I got to the body. Wasn't aiming for the eye but they tend to move at just that second. I've hit 1 in the eye with a 63fpe mrod eunjin and was successful, but was aiming for top of head and it moved, and it was smaller. My 2 cents. Keep up the good work Manny.
Unless you are at the right angle, and using high power, eye shots are a bad choice.. There is thick rounded bone in there..

Well, perhaps one more alternative for the shot placement when you are limited with 20+ fpe?It would be in the neck, targeting the spine. An imaginary line, starting in the eye, passing by the base of the ear and finishing symmetric of the eye relatively to the ear? If you miss the spine, the hog could have an "easy" recover?I am just trying to learn with you, experimented hog hunters.
