Anybody know where I can find a feral hog target that is any good? I am not looking for a 3D target, either a burlap cover or a printable one. I have seen people use Javalina targets instead of feral hogs, but I was wondering, since they are not the same animal do they have the same body structure? Can I really replace one for the other????

I saw "Dick in Seattle" make himself a 3d hog target, and I wanted to do similar.    :clapper:  I would never have thought that I could have done that myself without him.
Ask me about CTO.

I painted one on a burlap sack I filled with plastic bags.

I'd say the outline of a javalina and a hog isn't too different. I don't know about javalina anatomy but just aim quartering away and picture the heart low and really forward in the body cavity. Also, picture the lungs not extending much farther back than the elbow, if at all. They have the boiler room shoved far forward in the rib cage and a shot at the rearmost rib on a broadside hog will be a marginal liver shot if not outright guts only.
