Is my .44 mag too much gun for javalina?  If not, what would be the optimum bullet weight?

Dusty, In my mind your 44 mag will do just fine, I don't know if its a rifle or hand gun but i don't think it will make any difference, The little Javalina
is not that hard to put down. I don't know if you eat them or not  but, you won't mess up too much meat with the 44,,, good luck,,Joe

Joe
I have always wanted to hunt wild boar and Javelina in Texas, just never could get these old geesers going again(hunting partners). I already found out that a wild turkey is no ButterBall turkey(unless your daughter shoots it) In your opinion,  what is the ediblitly of a peccary compared to wild boar? I have to try this out.

Jim N Iowa.
To tell the truth its hard to describe the taste of the little Javelina,Its not
bad, but they have a very funny odor to them when you dress them out.
I have pit BBQed the meat and its not bad. I dig a pit about four feet deep
and build a fire out of mesquite wood and let ot burn out till it makes a good bed of coals, Cover the coals with a sheet of tin, after you have seasoned the meat to taste wrap the meat in white cloth, wet it down good
then if you have toast sacks or somthing like like it wrap it all up and tie it so it is good and tite then put it on the sheet of tin and cover it with another sheet of tin, then put the dirt back in the pit at least a foot of dirt.
leave it in for a least six hours, take it out unwrap it and have a feast. not too bad. If you did every thing right you should be able to cut it with your fork. This works on bear, boar, goat, pig, sheep, beef, antalope and turkey
Hope this helps Jim, If it don't, Blame it on Hillery C. .....Joe........

MOE,
Yep it sure do but its no fun, You see in doing a pig or anything else for that matter you must have a 6 pk and your friends around you and pass the the time of day shooting the bull and its just way more fun with the pit type cooking. Theres nothing more fun than sitting outside with your buddys,, Telling tall tales in the wide open spaces, which reminds me i have to put some meat in the slow cooker for tomarro, Yep.
you all take care & stay safe. Joe
