I hope you're hunting with Perdernal Bowhunts (Jerry Gonzales) if you're Laredo bound because you'll definitely be in for a treat.
The Javelina's scent gland is located along the spine between the hind quarters. There's been alot of talk about the need to be careful so as not to ruin meat, but personally I don't think it is that critical. If you want to play it safe though, skin the animal out before removing the entrails.
As table fare they're actually good on the grill or in the oven. One of the easier recipes is to take a hind quarter and after removing any fat, place it in a roaster bag with a head of chopped cabbage, some onion and potatoes. Pour a bottle of Italian Dressing in it, seal and cook. Follow the roaster bag instructions for heat settings and let'er rip.
Re TAZ: Short version of our week in Jemseg was we saw MANY bears, Millie had one over 450# at 4 yards it never presented a shot opportunity --THE BEAST BEDDED DOWN BEHIND HER on the Friday hunt, she also saw several in the 250-300 class. Since last years bear dressed at 336# she didn't shoot. Me, I saw bears 4 of 5 hunts as well as several moose. We FINALLY caught the RUT in full swing - it was AWESOME. We'll be back this June... same week.
Have fun in Laredo.
