Those things are MEAN! We used to hunt them in Texas and when you shoot, you climb a tree because the whole pack turns and attacks!

Really? I had no idea... I took him running in the wash near our house like usual and I heard a loud tussle in one of the bushes and then a javelina came shooting out... running quickly the other direction. Then Bogey (my dog) trotted out towards me shortly after. I didn't see anything wrong with him at first, but when I got home I noticed a little blood near his shoulder... I am assuming the javelina must have gotten him with his tusks.
I think Bogey was very fortunate (or quick)...those things are treacherous. They usually run in packs, it's unusual to see one alone. Scary to hunt too. My friend's family is from Eagle Pass, TX they're Indians and the mark of manhood is hunting javelinas.
Yea it may have been lost, it was in the wash near our house, which is in the middle of the city... it probably ran down that wash for quite some distance to get to that point?! I have taken my dogs running there at least 30 times and never once seen one before...
