Per this website javelina's are normally in the 20-24 inch range in height and weigh 35-60 lbs. The one we killed and ate (outside of Eagle Pass, Texas) was close to the larger end of the scale.
oh maaaaaaan..You ate it? I was raised in the country. And my mother in her later years lived in the hill country. To not appear rude, I once tasted wild hog...it was...er...gamey...to say the least. I have seen lots of javelinas. In fact, I see them where I live now. Though we live in the city of San Antonio, there are many green belts around here. Many areas here were farms and ranches at one time and they are sold in large plots...alot of wooded area. Our javelinas are not that big. Thank you for your post. I had no idea they got that big..two feet tall is amazing to me considering the size of the ones around here.
