It's not an AR500 plate.
I've punched through that plate with 75r BTHP within 100yds on multiple occasions. Green tip should work, although I'd prefer head shots with that round due to less expansion. I'd imagine it would "ice pick" much further back behind the plate without more than skin, rib and intestines blocking it's path. Worst case shoot 'em again. It's great mover practice as long as you have safe space and sufficient open area where you hunt. Swamp and thick bottoms make it less likely to get a follow up shot, and tend to have the larger, more angry genetics in them.
IF I regularly hunted an area with a higher European genetic line (larger cutters, really bad attitude most of the time), in confined spaces where spotting them at a distance was unlikely, I would use a larger caliber repeater with some serious K.E. anchoring power like, .300 BLK Supersonic, .30-30, .35 Rem etc.
