oh maaaaaaan..You ate it? I was raised in the country. And my mother in her later years lived in the hill country. To not appear rude, I once tasted wild hog...it was...er...gamey...to say the least. I have seen lots of javelinas. In fact, I see them where I live now. Though we live in the city of San Antonio, there are many green belts around here. Many areas here were farms and ranches at one time and they are sold in large plots...alot of wooded area. Our javelinas are not that big. Thank you for your post. I had no idea they got that big..two feet tall is amazing to me considering the size of the ones around here.
Well, yeah I ate a little of it. In post 10 on this thread I mentioned it was a little gamey for me and I preferred to stick with plain ole Wilbur.
I lived in San Antonio from '86-'91. I loved that city! Out of all of the places I've lived in Texas, San Antonio was the best. I lived about midway between Jones-Maltsberger and 281 on Thousand Oaks. We occasionally would see deer but no javelina.
It's been several years since I've been back there and I wouldn't mind making a trip down there to show fiance what real mexican food is all about.
(Grumble, grumble, gripe, gripe...darned Okies around here put sugar in their hot sauce...blech!)
