Well, I have actually killed a pig for 6 consecutive weekends, but for the last five, I have used a different bow.  I had used my black and white ebony stickflinger, my RER vortex, my Paul Bunyan 300, my Primal Tech longbow, and this weekend I pulled my one of my Silvertip recurves out of retirement.  I got winded by a spooky boar earlier, but this sow gave me a shot around an hour later.  Gotta find my arrow in the morning, but I put a solid shot on her using an abowyer javelina lite broadhead and an older nitro stinger shaft.  She went around 65 yards through some nasty stuff, but my dogs found her quickly, and it was around 2 and a half hours from the shot to being quartered and on ice.

Fantastic are you able to leave your dogs at your truck for quick access or do you go to a base camp for them?

LOL. I just call my wife and tell her when to bring them.  Other times, I walk home and get them.

Thanks guys.  Found the arrow.  Friggin arrow destroyers.  Surprised I didn't get a pass through.  Think it may have bumped into another hog standing next to her.

Do you see a big difference between the Javelina and Brown Bear?

Just lots of opportunities, Corey.

Felix, I don't think they make the javlina or javelina lite anymore, but I could be wrong.  The profile of the brown bear is better suited for penetration, but I had a failure shooting a cow pelvis that turned me off to the brown bear.  It broke off at the front of the ferrule, and then to add insult to injury my friend broke the pelvis with his ACE broadhead, lol.  Anyway, I am sure that they are fine heads, but I don't use them.  The Javelina is wider.  I think the brown bear is 1 1/8" wide, and the javelina by the chart is supposed to be the same, but pretty sure it is wider.  I will try to compare when I get home.  With my setups, I am not concerned that I won't get the job done.  This particular head has only killed one other animal, but it weighed around 1200#.  I didn't get a pass through, but I got two holes.  I think it would make a great whitetail broadhead. I am glad that I was able to recover the head.  I weighs 230  grains total with the insert.

Thanks Pat, on these days I like the Tuffheads and the Simmons on wild boar but I am loaded of Brown Bear.

It is always tough to beat a sharp simmons head.  I just like to play around.  2 blade, 3 blade, single bevel, double bevel, wide, narrow.  Just gotta get the arrows in the air.

My record is 11 in 11 days,  but there is no way that is happening again with my work schedule.
