That part of the scull is nothing but solid bone. There is nothing vital there, if it didn't create enough trauma to disrupt the brain its no surprise to me a hog could live with it.

Tough animals....would love to see the look on the hunters face when that pig ran off with his arrow sticking out of his head......

Betcha this piggy had constant migraines for a while! Shows how darned tough these animals really are! As 'Redchevy' noted...IF that broadhead is as far back as it appears, then it would have completely missed the brain-pan of the skull. If you look at this Hog skull I bisected....you will see that there an area to the rear of the skull (above and behind the brain pan) that is nothing but porous bone.

So, no headache; just a a bit of blunt force trauma that he/she would have shaken off very quickly?

 Not a drop of meat went to waste. Very nice.

I don't think anyone can know for certain what the hog experienced. Logic dictates the animal might have suffered a 'shock' from the blow, possibly even 'disorienting' for a short period of time, but it clearly was not lethal wound. I am more surprised the wound site didn't cause a debilitating infection. I've killed a number of hogs missing large parts of a leg, so perhaps their immune system is hardier than we might know. I have to wonder how long the arrow 'shaft' remained in place? Did it immediately break off at the broadhead or the did the hog go around looking like a unicorn for awhile?
