Graham Smith Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 lol, yeah I've seen that too but it was on Camp Pendleton. In Texas, it was things in the boots in the morning you had to watch out for. Shake, shake, shake - shake those boots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powder Finger Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 I bet the bag and tent had that "special" smell. Nothing like the smell of a Javalina to clear your nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Smith Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 (edited) Nothing like the smell of a Javalina to clear your nose. Javelina (aka Skunk Pig) - the other, other, other white meat. When there is nothing else to eat in 100 miles. Edited December 16, 2011 by Graham Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlmiller1 Posted December 16, 2011 Share Posted December 16, 2011 That was amazing! I've only seen a very few javelina & they were mostly moving out when they saw me. She looked like a dog waiting for a treat. They also are not usually comfortable being "trapped" like in a tent. I think she would have loaded up in your pickup & gone home with you. Didn't look sick or hurt, either. Too bad they stink, it might have been fun to take her home & have for a pet, hahaha. MLM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzle Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Has anyone figured out a good way to eat one? I've had 'em smoked and it was ok, has anyone here roasted one in a pit? The first one I killed that didn't stink horribly got screwed up at the processor so I'm still wondering if it's possible to get one worth eating. I just bought a spring tag over the counter, lol.

Neomet Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I'm surprised you just saw one, they normally travel in packs. Smelly, half-blind creatures as others have said, and will do everything in their power to kill any dogs they come across. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Smith Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Has anyone figured out a good way to eat one? From a distance? I don't recall the details, but I did know people in Texas that would cook them. IIRC, the trick is clean them immediately, avoiding the musk gland. I'm sure you can find details on the InterWeb if you are interested. I also seem to recall that they would eat anything that didn't eat them first, so their taste could vary significantly. They also have a very thick skull with a tiny brain. I saw a guy shoot one in the head at near point blank range with a shotgun when we where quail hunting. He thought he had killed it, but he had just stunned it for a minute. Fortunately, we were able to get the dogs under control before it staggered up and ran off. You would not want to see what happens when hunting dogs and javalina cross paths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
