They can also be called in quite close. This one was part of a group that was moving away from me, but I called it back with a wounded rabbit mouth call. This was in a park, so I only shot it with my camera. I think hunting them with a handgun would be a lot of fun.
Nice picture. Need to get into a pod. Split em up and then use a javelina call to bring em back. Its fun to see how mad they get.
Ive' not shot one with a 380. I have with 9mm and up. I don't recall using a 22lr but it works fine on pigs so it should work just fine on a javelina too if legal.
10mm works really good, but then its one of the best handgun hunting rounds I've used for what it is.
