This last week a was able to take some much needed time off and do some hunting in Arizona. I went down with a good friend to hunt and spend time with my brother. It took a lot of boot work and plenty of time behind glass but was able to bring home a few steaks.
Well done! I have been meaning to try my hand at this being so close to Javy territory.

Javies are God's gift to a stalking bowhunter! It's a shame they don't taste any better than they do!

Amen! Javi was one of the first animals I brought home when I was a kid. My dad was not happy.

They taste fine
I have been hunting them for over 15 years now and it is really a blast. The only way I found to make good meat is grind it and mix the same amount of good pork with it, then season it to make different types of sausage. Also makes the sausage go further.
I just wrote an article on chasing javelina in the last TradArchers World.
Thanks everyone! Boy I wished I could help everyone understand how good and wonderful Javilana can be when it is taken care of correctly. I don't know if it is that I have just got lucky with to two small ones I have taken or if its in how I proccess them. I personally think its the later with the results of some of my friends larger boars. Do realize I'm very picky about my wild game and take it very serious and would not stand for any "gamey" taste. I find antelope and Mt. Goat much harder to work with.
