If they are 50lbs or less, they taste pretty damn good.

I don't recommend eating havelina. While they look like a hog, they are actually from the rodent family and smell about as bad as a skunk. We left them out for the buzzards to eat.

And the one that's hanging, we shot 19 times before the sucker decided enough was enough. I shot him at 150m with a Remington 700 .270 (130 grain) just behind his front shoulder (which went through a lung) with about 15 seconds of daylight remaining. She darted off the trail into the woods. Armed with pistols and flashlights we tracked the blood trail, she was about 20 ft in the woodline still standing and wheezing. 15 ft pistol shot to the head, she runs off 30 ft then stops. 15 ft pistol shot to the body, she wheels and acts like she wants to charge. 2 pistol rds in the nose (broke jaw, 2d rd blew out left side of jaw), she again takes off. each time she runs 20 - 40 ft before stopping. At this point we've gone about 100m and crossed another trail. We unloaded on her at one point with about 10 rds (combination .45 and 9mm) and she's still standing. at this point the 1911 goes dry (11 rds), and we pump 5 more 9mm into her. she finally drops dead.. then we get to drag her sorry ass back to the frigging road about 60 ft back. Once we get her hung at the camp, we count 19 bullet holes (accounting for all rds expended), with 11 of those in the head, and 8 in the chest. Her final weight was about 200lbs.
