Well those aint that dangerous Miller, they are like small hogs, yet they smell like hell : they have a mucus gland on their back
We do have those in here/Eu too, they imported them for hunting like a decade ago yet they can be found only in private hunting grounds only, EU regulations and protecting the nature you know…
A 150kgs angry female pig is quite a lovely creatire indeed
Lovely when it's butchered and in my freezer!
I don't I don't know what they would taste like some people make sausage
Sausage is great! Bacon ain’t bad either…… 
.
Meat from a source like what's represented, not having eaten it, makes me wonder what it "would" taste like. A wild taste, yes, but hard for me to imagine. I'm a fairly avid hunter.
They are range fed, but they eat literally everything. Not like corralled, farm fed at all.
All that I have had has been quite tasty. Sausage, bacon, & hams that were smoked…. it has all been very good.

Edit: To be clear, I am referring to wild hogs/boars…. not Javelina.
glad I am not the only one who had to google “javelina”; those look quite nasty. Guess I am too acclimated to city life, the worst creatures I get to see are mosquitoes.
I was referring to wild hogs. If I do ever get the opportunity, I would like to try it.
What state are you in? If they are not there yet…… Their on the way…… 
I live in WA. I have heard of some hogs invading in the S.E., but not many. They have to be plants is my thought.
Well you are way behind the curve up there in the PNW…. but check this out….
And by S.E., if you are talking about the Southeast USA…. it is far, far beyond “plants” in many areas of many states. Texas is eat up with them…. a major problem. Here is a link that tells a bit more.
Here is more reading about Texas & porkers of the wild variety…
Your C8 is bright enough to blind a hog? 
Yep…. if you back up that bright beam with some well placed hot lead.
I am indeed out of the news curve. Until they become more newsworthy as a nuisance, I wouldn't waste the time to go where they are here in WA...yet. I should have been more clear. I do that sometimes and just start rattling thinking people just know. Sorry, I meant S.E. Washington. Some nights, on the weekends, I search Youtube for good hog hunt vids. I can sit and watch them for hours if there's enough excitement. The videos coming out from Texas, that part of the country IS infested bad. Some day I'd like to take a trip there and join in with a hunting party. That would be a kick! I like watching Coyote hunts too that are in other regions. Nothing like that where I am.
No, I meant you were behind the hog invasion curve in the PNW…… not the news curve.
Yeah, I like watching those videos too. Lots of action.
Ok, SE WA… that does seem to be about the only part of your state they have been reported.
I know what you were meaning. You just experienced my lack of info fulfillment as I mentioned earlier. Not intentional, but I sometimes am the reverse to a speed-reader.
I was just summing the invasion up to, when it becomes more pronounced in the news, I might consider making a trip to go help provide the necessary injections ;) :D
:+1: …. I hear ya’ ARsee. … “Injection Administration” is the fun part……
.
The real question is did you use the turbo mode or a blinky mode. Inquiring minds want to know.
I am glad that it turned out the way it did.
Inserting a lead tracking device in the right place will usually solve the problem.

Being a Long Island, NY guy, I’ve never heard of a Javelina. We don’t have them here. I personally wouldn’t want to come across one.
You ain’t kidding.
You’d honest to God be amazed at the amount of destruction a sounder (family group) can accomplish in one night.
The state is trying to poison them, but the program was just paused until more study could be done. Many are worried about the effect of the poison on other animals, humans who eat the meat included.
ETA: I’m talking about feral hogs, who are larger, more destructive and much more widespread than the native javelina.
