why shoot a javelina?

[Legdog]

i will take my time staring at the herd to see which one i am willing to eat...but first..i must be in mexico really far away from heb, then i must be really hungry after a few beers, next, the cowboy has to be there to gut and skin it, then, after his wife makes carne guisada with the young famale javelina along with homemade tortillas...i will happily scarf it down everytime

nice

I once considered them to be "warm ups" for archery targets that mattered. I'm not very mad at them these days.

They can definitely be cooked and eaten and they're not bad at all.

I want to hunt them, bad! I have never had the opportunity to take one, and will clean and eat any that I kill. Also, I want a nice one for a mount!!

Kill them and eat them. Keep on ice for a week, brine for 24 hours, inject with Tony's, wrap in bacon and slow smoke for 8 hours. Dang good eating.

Season with black pepper, corse ground sea salt and BBQ sauce let sit overnight in the fridge place on cedar plank and slow smoke 12-14 hrs....then throw the meat away and eat the plank!!

If the fleas are bad while cleaning/dressing them, spray yourself and even the javi down with Off! or other bug spray. It'll make those fleas head for the hills.

Never seen one, are they fun to shoot...LOL

Hoping my Nephews get drawn for a javelina hunt

I can't get past the cleaning part. I skinned one for a guy years ago and the fleas were stacked on top of each other.

just let the body get cold and they jump right off i shoot them in it cold weather a quick field gut and hang them not to close to camp

We used to have them at our place in Karnes county and between shooting a few here and there and the hogs they have pretty much disappeared. I kind of miss them as it at least gave you some entertainment. I wouldn't shoot them unless they were overrunning the place. They only breed 1-2 a year and have no more than 2 offspring so they can be controlled unlike hogs.
