I'm heading to Texas to hunt javelinas for the first time and wondering where the best shot placement is? Behind the front shoulder?

The first time I went I was told just like a pig, low and tight. After seeing one it wasn't hard to see where to aim. My biggest issue picking the right time to shoot and picking a spot. Several times I let to best shot op get by me.

Hunting javelina is an absolute blast. Low and tight will get the job done.  |

I hope you don't blow your shot op like I did. I had never seen one in shooting range before. I was hunting with a group of guys and we were out spot and stalking rabbits. I started down one sendero when 2 came walking out of the brush. I was amazed and staring at them, not thinking about taking the shot but looking at them. Then I snapped out of it about the same time the lead one saw me and raised the hair on it's back and caused me to watch more then POOF!!!! GONE!!!!!
