I have taken a few, they can be very "tough", while they are not true pigs they should be treated the same. What I mean is that the shot placement should be tight in as close to the shoulder as possible.The vitial lay really low, and almost forward of the shoulder. It is not too tough to shoot right at the shoulder and get the penatration you seek. Most Javeys can be anchored on the spot by shooting at the spot where the white line comes down just on top of the shoulder,or dead center on that line between the top of it's back to where it comes to it's lowest point, they will let out one bloody scream, and die on the spot.

If you shoot them like you do deer, that pig will travel a lot of distance, and in most cases become food for the coyotes.
