Uh-oh. guess the President better commission the "Javelina Study Group" (JSG) to resolve this problem.

NO doubt we need to have dialogue with the javelinas.

Time to call James Baker again.

Javelinas love tulip bulbs and are experts at rooting them up. They don't like daffodils but will root through a bed of them if there's a chance of digging up a tulip. When motivated, they're expert at getting under fences.

"How to fend off a javelina attack • Be sure there is no wildlife-feeding going on in your neighborhood. • Harass the animal or spray it with a hose. • Shake an aluminum can, such as a soda can, with pebbles or nuts and bolts in it. • Repel the animal by putting pepper or hot sauce on specific plants and ammonia in bowls where they bed down. • Remove any ground cover that the javelina may be using as shelter. • Keep them away by using fencing or electric fencing. Check local ordinances first if you choose to do this...."

No mention of a fast moving heavy projectile introduced to the point of the shoulder or top of the head?

Javelina are good for two things.

#1. Buzzard food.

#2. Coyote food.

I just forwarded this thread to my cousin in Tucson. She briefly replied "They are like wild boars. Very protective of their young. Blind as bats."

I have walked up on javalinas in south Texas many times, they always run away. I wonder what was different here? Javalinas aren't very big animals maybe they saw the little dogs as something they could finally beat up.

Trap them or shoot them. Turn them into sausage.

Javelina are just nasty. You can eat the meat if you cut it thin as jerky and marinate it for a couple of days. But I don't know why you'd bother. It barely makes it edible.

It would do in a pinch if you were starving in the desert and had some marinade in your survival gear.

They are a pain in the ass when you're hunting real game. They scare the deer off, they're too ugly to mount as a trophy. If you shoot them, you've probably ruined the spot for deer hunting for a couple of hours.

And the males have tusks that will rip the calf off your leg if give them a chance.

All wrong.

Shoot them and let coyotes eat their nasty meat.

I do not understand. Are they sure these were javelinas? Javelinas are so small, the only thing they could attack is her ankles.
