Default RE: AZ javelina meets Gold Dot (picts)

I watched a hunting show where they were hunting javelina. They were having a hard time scoring on one of them little critters. It seems they are pretty smart, careful and once they know you are after them, they can really move and disappear. Not to mention they are not huge, like a hog. Also, running they would be a hard target. From what I read on them, they are not actually a member of the pig family, but a member of the peccary family. Also with the teeth on them they look like if wounded or cornered they could be a real handful. The reason that program stuck out in my mind was, after they shot one, the person that cleaned it for the mount insisted that one should wear gloves when handling it. I forget the reason why.
