    i guess it would depend on who is doing them, javelina are smaller, but they do suck, (in my opinion)LOL i price boars higher, but not by much, boar is 475 in my shop closed mouth, add 100 for open mouth, javelina are 375 and same add for an open mouth.

    a Javelina and a hog are not even related! a HUGE javelina will top the scales at 55lbs while a monster boar hog may go as much as 400lbs. A hog is in the swine family and a javelina is in the peccary family. They both have a round nose and thats about where the similarities end. A big boar hog can have a shield close to 2" thick and you will never see a shield on a jave. I dont charge the same for a whitetail as i do for a boar hog same as i dont charge the same for a javelina and a hog. a HUGE javelina and a very small hog would be the same size. You can't even find a form small enough for a hog if it were the same size as a javelina.

    Boars start at $300 higher than a Javelina in my shop, they are a night & day difference!!! You could flesh a Javelina with a butter knife if yoyu wanted to, that is how big the difference is!

    Roosters post basically summed it up & Russ, even though it is not my business......you are too damn cheap!! ;)

    Absolutely no comparison. Boar 525 c/m, 675 o/m, javy 375 c/m, 525 o/m AND that's not enough, but I'm the highest in my immediate area that I know of. Takles me a good day just to flesh a dang boar - that's the worst part.
    Oh, if you get a lifesize javelina, just remember they have a smelly gland on their back/rump area.
