    Shotgun vs pig close range?

    You may remember me posting about shooting a small pig with a shotgun on duck opening weekend. There's something I've been thinking about since then. Range was 5 metres and the shell was a non-magnum 12G loaded with #4 steel shot. It was a headshot. I expected the pig to have it's head blown off, but there wasn't a single mark on it. Not even any blood! What happened?
