It has been my good privilege to hunt wild pigs in five states as well as wart hogs in Africa and the pig-like javelina in Texas. |
I often hunt in Texas where one could encounter whitetail, javelina, and turkey all from the same blind on the same morning. |
Texas javelina In the shooting world there are a lot of things I am not. |
Javelinas were a different story The javelina, or collared peccary is a native North American animal weighing perhaps 30 to 50 pounds. |
Because of the scarcity of water and succulent vegetation in the desert, rural gardeners often find everything from skunks to javelina to coyotes nibbling at their crops. |
Quite approachable but sporty targets, the 35-60-pound javelina is a high-odds proposition for diligent bowhunters. |
