I was told the same thing, my dad had accidentally gut shot one and we were trying to find it and I waa (un)lucky enough to find it, I was about 30yds from it when it decided to go out in a blaze of glory! It charged me! I had a Remington 760 in 243 loaded with 105gr nosler partitions, I managed to hit it in the head dropping it about 10yds away from me!

I remember in my teens hunting in the Texas hill country down near San Saba and surrounding areas, going down in the draws between the hills and suddenly get a whiff of a herd of Javelina, there was no doubt they were close, or worse being able to smell them, hear them and not being able to see them in the under brush and they'd start popping their teeth!
